If you could make a gimmick for a new guy...

Recommended Posts

I'd have a crocodile hunter-esque guy who opens his opponents mouths and tags them and stuff.

 

You?

How about a guy who wants to suck up to the fans to get over but always fails miserably?

 

"So everybody...how about that local sports team? Boy, that was quite a game they had the other night, wasn't it?"

How about an annoying fan that constantly comes to events? You know the kind; he would puff on a big cigar, drink lots of beer, and generally be loud and annoying. He would constantly heckle both the wrestlers and the fans in the arena. He would pour beer on the wrestlers, throw cups at them, and say VERY offensive things to them. The thing is, the wrestlers can't touch him because he's just a fan.

 

Eventually, one wrestler will snap and beat the shit out of him. But it doesn't end there. The man hires a lawyer and decides to sue WWE for being attacked. However, he's also an aspiring wrestlers and Eric Bischoff offers him a job in return for dropping the lawsuit. Now being a wrestler, he would feud with the wrestler who hit him.

 

After that feud, he would generally do annoying things; i.e. taping the divas while they're in the shower, changing into his wrestling gear in front of people backstage, tape other wrestlers' conversations, steal wrestling gear from his co-workers' gym bags, and come to work drunk. Basically, he would be a total prick.

How about a punk kid who thinks he's cool, but he's really not. One of those arrogant bitches who talks a lot of shit, but can't back it up once Wrestler X confronts him? Always cheats to win and insults the crowd for cheap heat. We'll take this guy's look for example:

 

BUDS_AS_gangsta_250.jpg

 

Basically like Cena, but without the raps and wants to use the WWE as a stepping stone to make it into Hollywood as an actor?

I would make a gimmick where one wrestler fantasizes about another wrestler's wife. The boys in the back tell the wrestler with his wife about and they do a feud on PPV. It would just be a one time thing since it's not the best gimmick to have. It could also really damage a wrestler's career if they had it for too long.

 

It would be a good sportz-entermentainym angle, but that's probably it.

I always thought Scott Keith's "Bruce Boring" gimmick could work (guy uses a ton of headlocks in a match, and when the crowd chants "Boring", he breaks the hold and bathes in the adulation)

They did that with Danny Doring in ECW.

They abandoned it far too quickly. You have to be willing to milk it.

I'd love to see them do either a cockney ganster type or some really horrible little chav character for the next Brit they bring in, rather than posh English noble variation 10223.

We already have a new Million Dollar Man, Virgil and Razor Ramon gimmick. Why on earth would we want a Scott Hall "Last Call" gimmick?

That's be fun to see, but it sets a dangerous precedent because the idiotic mark fans will think they can get involved without anything happening to them.

I'd like to see a masked wrestler who is supposed to be a face who gets totally destroyed in all his matches. You know the kind of face from the '80s and early '90s who would come out all pumped up and play to the crowd, and get completely squashed. Plus make him kind of cowardly and have him run from monster heels during matches. Make his finisher a guillotine leg drop from the top rope that always misses. I think that would be fun for some reason. Finally have him snap and go heel. Kind of like a new El Conquistador gimmick.

That would require them to invest a lot of time in something that's perceived as a "loser". At least Eugene wins sometimes.

A wise-ass nerdy type. He comes to the ring wearing a blue speedo over a pair of red long-john's tucked into a pair of beige workboots, and he'd come out wearing a beachtowel of whatever the big local sports team is as a cape. He'd parody popular wrestlers from the 80's in his movements, sort of like how Eugene does it but instead of playing it for comedy, he is DEAD SERIOUS.

 

And, during promo's, he would always be found watching Lord of the Rings, playing D&D, or listening to Rush. Also, he can't be a wrestler that's "jakked," because that wouldn't help get over the nerd persona. Find a wiry-framed worker that CAN wrestle his ass off, and give him the gimmick.

Hey, that's the perfect Brian Danielson gimmick! Really pale white guy, bad hair-cut, excellent.

Pay Cael Sanderson enough to come to the WWE, in time for him to take Angle on in Angle's Hometown Challenge...have Sanderson whoop his ass all over the ring...legit...and have him come in as Angle V2.0...except keep the goofy parts out...make him DEAD serious...and a full tweener...he just wrestles...he doesn't tag with anyone, and doesn't join stables....unless it works to his advantage....a cross between Angle/Sting...

Don't think an American audience would 'get' a chav but I agree 100% with the hardman gangster. I've been wanting them to do that for a while rather than tea-supping snobs, like you said. A character like Vinnie Jones played in Lock Stock or Snatch. But I think they may be saving that type of gimmick for a certain high-flying phenomenon by the name of Burchill. (Seriously folks check this guy out. Simply amazing)

How about a face vigilante type character? A bad ass type who just relentlessly attacks heels that he perceives as being "evil" or "rule-breakers." I don't mean just beating them in the ring...have him do huge beat downs on heels he beats after matches. They could distance him from other faces by having someone like the Hurricane argue with him about his methods. Have him attack heels backstage seemingly at random. If the character gets over enough, they could have him attack Bischoff or Vince McMahon even. Just don't do it like the whole Austin vs Vince thing again.

I've always wondered what would've happened if they would have pushed Shamrock a bit harder.

 

HENCE, I'll go with the character I efed with: the stoic shootfighter. He doesn't run the ropes. He doesn't go for pins. Somewhat like Severn I suppose. He just goes through every match all quite until he hits the ring and goes crazy with strikes and holds, no suplexes and such.

I would have a character that thinks he's really appealing to the ladies, but sometime around the 10:50 PM spot on Raw we always find him bed with a mid-card male athlete. This leads him to feud with Batista, calling the big man a "metrosexual", after Batista turns down his sexual advances, eventually pinning him for the IC Title, and turning Batista face.

 

It also allows WWE to kill the careers and easily fire useless talent like Maven, Val Venis, and The Bashams.

 

Oh, that's a terrible idea?

 

Remember, I'm submitting it to the company that put a ***retarded*** wrestler in a 15 minute co-main event match at SUMMERSLAM with the guy they're pushing as the ***GREATEST WRESTLER EVER***.

The "shows up drunk" thing would not be the focus of the character. It would most likely only happen one or two times.

THE FONZ. That's what wrestling needs. The ultimate cool cat. He'd ride a Harley to the ring, wear a leather jacket, grease his hair back, and always be quick to make a witty remark and humiliate a heel or a lowercard face. His finisher would be the Shark Jump, which would be a Senton Splash (Dick Togo-style), and he'd refuse to have his hand raised by a referee, instead whipping out a comb and running it through his hair before snapping his fingers and having his theme music, a knockoff of Bill Haley and His Comets' "Rock Around the Clock," play.

That would be fucking awesome, but who under WWE contract could be the Fonz?

Also, as for the idea Invader3K came up with about the violent vigilante character, I really like the sound of that too, with Chris Masters coming up to TV soon, his look and style would suit that gimmick pretty well.

I'd try to get Smash Mouth's "The Fonz" as his theme.

I thought of that, sort of a "Dog, the Bounty Hunter" type guy, who decides to right the wrongs he sees that go on inside and out of the ring.
