Best Gimmicks That Never Got Over


Recommended Posts

Berlyn was a great gimmick, but Alex Wright being a douchetard killed it out of the gate when Hacksaw totally no sold his ass in his debut match. It was an updating and edgier take on the foreign menace.

Is Alex Wright a real asshole or something backstage, cause Paul Roma also no sold him during a match. I've never heard anything like that about him though?

Alex Wright ruled.

 

 

 

 

Awesome hair. His finisher was a German Suplex. FOR CHRIST SAKES, HE HAD THE COOLEST DANCE EVA~!

Oh, I totally agree, the Boogie Knights were beyond cool.

 

I was just wondering with the original question because Steve Austin even took a verbal swipe at him in a shoot interview, yet you never here anyone say anything about his rep in the back.

I think the deal with Roma and Wright was that Roma was just a prima donna who was pissed that he had to go out there and make this green kid look like a million bucks while he was toiling as a low carder after having gotten a big push as a horsemen.

 

With Duggan, I think it was that Jim was offended by the Berlyn character and didn't want to job to Wright based on that.

 

I don't think anyone really had personal issues with Wright outside of the fact that he was getting a push beyond what his talents at the time warranted, but it's not like that doesn't happend all the time.

I'm actually a little mark for Wright. When I started watching WCW in '97, the first match I actually saw was an Alex Wright match (I think against Steve McMichael), and I thought he was very good. Mongo...ugh...

 

But yeah. I actually used to get up and speak faux-German and do the dance when I was 12...

Alright! Can this thread move past Alex Wright. Alex Wright was amusing, and should have gotten a Honky Tonk Man-like title run.

Berlyn, the original gimmick, was superb, and should gotten a big push. But that's WCW. Now no more. Haha the dance Haha. Enough about the dance. I bet you also liked to do Rock impressions, and I bet there hilarious, right! So who else, two pages should have gotten us some where. I want to see more Borne Agains, and Wraths, and....

 

 

"Dean Douglas"

This was a fantastic gimmick that could have made Shane a top heel in the company. That is... if Shane didn't run into so many problems in the fed (see Shane vs. the Kliq 101).

Stevie Richards as Dude Love.

 

I LOVED when they had him doing that. Too bad it didn't last too long.

That would be classic. Now that Foley is moonlighting on Raw again, it would be awesome if they had a gimmick of Stevie buying the character.

...why the FUCK would you be sent to the Principal's office for during the dance while running the mile?

I dunno but my lesbian gym teacher (not an insult, a fact) send me there cause she thought it was irresponsible and interrupting the class. The principal ended sending me right back to finish the mile anyways.

I know we should be moving past Alex Wright, but just one more point...

 

Jesus, he's hung like a moose.
