Guest Glenn Can't Take A Hint Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 Mike Bucci (Nova) tried out his new gimmick at the house shows this weekend. He plays a Richard Simmons exercise guru type gimmick which should debut on RAW shortly ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Do any of you see this gimmick working for Mike ??
BHK Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 If he's as annoying as Simmons or "Muffy"(wasn't that her name? Steph's PT that lasted for like two weeks) then he's more likely to get X-Pac heat than real heat.
ChrisMWaters Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 Um, didn't they already try this kind of gimmick with the Body Donnas?
The Amazing Rando Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 Man...why the fuck can't he just be "Nova"...
ChrisMWaters Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 Man...why the fuck can't he just be "Nova"... Because it's not a WWE created idea...and non-smarks that don't know ECW's history will think that he's a Hurricane rip-off? That's probably the WWE reasoning, if you ask me.
Guest Dynamite Kido Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 *reads initial post* *shoots self in head*
Youth N Asia Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 Just stick him with The Hurricane and Rosey in a stable untill they think of something better...not this crap.
AlaskanHero Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 Eugene made his retard gimmick work. Nova might be able to make this work.
ChrisMWaters Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 Just stick him with The Hurricane and Rosey in a stable untill they think of something better...not this crap. I had a similar theory. Hurricane and Rosey go up against some major threat...realize they're out-manned... So Hurricane decides to visit "The Hero Who Trained Me" Cue a few vignettes, which end in Hurricane debuting his "Teacher", Nova.

That could work. Or maybe, just have him be the super villian. If we are going to run a Super Hero, might as well add the Super Villian to the mix.
Guest Trivia247 Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 Still think Mike should be hurricane's Arch nemesis the EVILLL Nova and will use his unholy powers to pervert Newly Superhero Rosey against Hurricane.
BHK Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 So, Nova is that Hamster from Power Rangers Ninja Storm? When it comes to Power rangers, it's definitely all about the original six in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.. Just sayin.
cawthon777 Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 Do any of you see this gimmick working for Mike ?? "What, Nick Dinsmore is going to be playing a retard? OMG, that will never get over!" Considering Bucci was putting over Ludvig Borga, the Quebecars, and Adam Bomb in 1993 and hasn't done much else since, WWE-wise, I would think that a gimmick in itself would be a career improvement.
Guest The Ultimate Fantasy Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 Meh, it could be kind of intresting although weren't there talks of him being trained to join the booking team? Maybe he could be like DDP with the "That's not a bad thing, that's a good thing!" with the super happy smiles.
BHK Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 Maybe he could be like DDP with the "That's not a bad thing, that's a good thing!" with the super happy smiles. I actually liked that gimmick. In a "it's so bad it's good" kind of way.
Epic Reine Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 Y'know, if Nova was a good wrestler, I'd care.
Guest BurnToShine Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 Good thing I forgot about Nova three years ago, I guess.
SuperJerk Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 The only time I've ever seen Nova wrestle was in a dark match last February, and I thought he did pretty well.
Ravenbomb Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 "What, Nick Dinsmore is going to be playing a retard? OMG, that will never get over!" *It turns out it was Dinsmore's idea* "OMG, Dinsmore's a GENIUS!"
SuperJerk Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 "What, Nick Dinsmore is going to be playing a retard? OMG, that will never get over!" *It turns out it was Dinsmore's idea* "OMG, Dinsmore's a GENIUS!" All good ideas belong to the wrestlers or Paul Heyman. All bad ideas belong to the bookers or Triple H. Didn't you get the memo?
razazteca Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 Why does the WWE keep on using gay gimmicks.........it did Chuck Palumbo alot of good. If Mike Bucci is that person stalking Victoria than I will be very angry!
Guest wrestlingbs Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 Affter Eugene, I am not going to rule out this. But remember, for every Eugene there is a Mordiceai, Rico, S.H.I.T, Nathan Jones, Molly Holly...
NoCalMike Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 I would have classified Rico as almost a Richard Simmons character, and the fans didn't really respond whatsoever........So happy to have known ya Nova.... Can you imagine sitting in on this meeting, Vince: we got something hot for you, never been done before Nova: Sweet, I have some moves I have been working on, I think they will...(interrupted) Vince: whoa whoa, settle down there...what you need to worry about is this new character Nova: okay, shoot. Vince: An Exercize Guru ala Richard Simmons Nova: (sitting in silence with a forced smile on his face) ooohh yeaaah, that'll be just greeeaaat....!?! Vince: I just knew you'd love it.
razazteca Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 Why not go with the easy solution of making Mike Bucci a Power Ranger again? One week he can be the Red Ranger and everyweek change colors! Its better than using the same old boring gay character that is used when the CREATIVE is braindead on what to do with new people. The meeting: Vince: Ok guys what are going to do with this guy from OVW who has been around for awhile? Creative Yes Man #1: Let's combine some of our old gimmicks into on agian Vince: Interesting Yes Man #1: As you know last time we combined the rave/club kid with the gay character resulting into Rico...... Vince: Ok Yes Man #1: Well this time we add a new spin on the gay character by.......are you listening......get this......A dancing fruity gay guy......but this time he is an instructor at the YMCA! Vince: I LOVE IT! Make it so #1 Yes Man #2: And let's give him the Doink the Clown hair! Yes Man #3: Brady Bunch man perm? Vince: Anybody else with bright ideas?
Vyce Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 Do we have Pritchard to thank for yet another gimmick gem here?
natey2k4 Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 nova being turned into a richard simmons wannabe huh. My prediction= funny for a few weeks, dull afterwards. Kind of like Rico.
Epic Reine Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 My prediction: Everyone realizes its Nova, gets over there massive boner for him, and yawns during his matches.
Dark Age Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 nova being turned into a richard simmons wannabe huh. My prediction= funny for a few weeks, dull afterwards. Kind of like Rico. Since when was Rico EVER funny?
razazteca Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 Before the blue paint, during the tiger suit era.
NoCalMike Posted July 26, 2004 Report Posted July 26, 2004 nova being turned into a richard simmons wannabe huh. My prediction= funny for a few weeks, dull afterwards. Kind of like Rico. Since when was Rico EVER funny? "Hurry up Jeff, goddammit" That was probably the funniest Rico moment ever, and it wasn't planned or kayfabe...
