Oh Boy...."Nova" might be screwed already....

[Guest Glenn Can't Take A Hint]

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 0]

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 0]

Um, didn't they already try this kind of gimmick with the Body Donnas?

[The Amazing Rando 0]

Man...why the fuck can't he just be "Nova"...

[ChrisMWaters 0]

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.

Just stick him with The Hurricane and Rosey in a stable untill they think of something better...not this crap.

[AlaskanHero 0]

Eugene made his retard gimmick work. Nova might be able to make this work.

[ChrisMWaters 0]

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.

So, Nova is that Hamster from Power Rangers Ninja Storm?

 

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]

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.

When it comes to Power rangers, it's definitely all about the original six in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers..

 

 

Just sayin.

"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]

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 0]

I actually liked that gimmick. In a "it's so bad it's good" kind of way.

[Epic Reine 0]

Y'know, if Nova was a good wrestler, I'd care.

[Guest BurnToShine]

Good thing I forgot about Nova three years ago, I guess.

[SuperJerk 0]

The only time I've ever seen Nova wrestle was in a dark match last February, and I thought he did pretty well.

"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?

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]

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 0]

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 0]

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 0]

Do we have Pritchard to thank for yet another gimmick gem here?

nova being turned into a richard simmons wannabe huh.

My prediction= funny for a few weeks, dull afterwards. Kind of like Rico.

[Epic Reine 0]

My prediction: Everyone realizes its Nova, gets over there massive boner for him, and yawns during his matches.

Before the blue paint, during the tiger suit era.

"Hurry up Jeff, goddammit" That was probably the funniest Rico moment ever, and it wasn't planned or kayfabe...
