tbondrage99 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2004 I think Paul London needs a new character that would hopefully get him on Smackdown more (unless it's something stupid like Victoria's dancing character), but it doesn't seem like WWE's too high on his work at all since he keeps being jobbed out on Velocity. Does he even have a character to begin with? His gimmick is that hes a generic crusierweight jobber. Nothing more, nothing less. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ace Report post Posted June 2, 2004 I think Val Venis could use his current gimmick pretty effectively as a heel. It's played out as hell in terms of being a face, but I was a huge fan of his heel run against the Rock and Mankind back when he stuffed his tights with Mr. Socko. I think they gave up on that one a bit prematurely. He was putting on some really nice tv matches against Rock and Foley if I remember right. The turn was just too out of the blue and they never really ran with it. I noticed on Heat this week Val was getting pretty good heel heat against Rhyno, I'm not even sure why, but it got me thinking that a Ravishing Rick Rude character might be a cure for his problem.

justcoz 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2004 I'm going to forget that whole, "just one guy" request. Sorry... Shawn Michaels needs to go heel, drop the 90's shtick, grow a beard, get a haircut and go out as a cocky heel, giving arrogant, he's a gift from God, we should all thank jesus for the showstoppa promos... Stevie Richards should be the goofy, video game/comic book loving guy that he is. Have comic book debates between him and the Hurricane. Video game reviews with Richards (makes for good product placement.) With Paul London; I like the idea of the London/Billy Kidman tag team because I think London, like HBK and Bret Hart, could gain the most as a singles star down the road with a good solid tag team run. I would have Teddy Long manage them and dub them the "Vanilla Thrillaz". They are being held back by the, "MacMan", because they are too white, too small, don't have the street cred of a John Cena, etc. Long could cut some real classic promos with this one. If the Hardy's reunite, London/Kidman definitely need to be on the same show, whether it's tossing the Hardys on Smackdown (which isn't a bad idea) or moving London/Kidman w/ Long to Raw. Hurricane needs to end unless they are willing to have fun with this and introduce some arch nemesis characters. This is where Luther Reins, someone recreating Doink The Clown, Kanyon as Mortis, Ultimo, etc. could have been used. Go the Batman route and just make up random characters that come and go. OVW guys just getting a "tryout" of sorts. They have to compliment Hurricane's style however. If they won't go this route, that's it for the Hurricane. Turn him into Shane Helms. Let him play a heel. Maybe align him w/ HBK and HHH to give him a rub. They need to push the Redneck Messiah thing with Jamie Knoble. Find a total white trash looking chick for him to play off of. Let him cut promos elevating the image of the redneck in the states. Praising country music and damning guys like John Cena who forget their white. Shelton Benjamin needs to be a heel. If they won't do this, they must give him more of a bad ass feel. All black wardrobe. Darker music. He has such a range personality wise. He deserves more than to be the black Bob Backlund. He can still be a face with a bit of an edge and arrogance. Garrison Cade needs to have some preppy frat brothers by his side. Coach can hang with them. Almost like a rip off of the Mean Street Posse. Garrison needs to play the type of asshole that the blonde guy in Karate Kid was. He just has that look to him. You want to hate him but instead you just don't care. Batista they need to go total bad ass face with. I'm starting to think more and more that this guy has the style, presence and willingness to learn and improve to be the next big time player, even Hogan like potentially. I was against them not using the Leviathan character but I'm seeing more and more that this guy as he is; is just cool period. From his size to the pimp daddy look. Plus, he has the perfect heel foil in Randy Orton to end up with an immediate huge face turn.
