Design a gimmick

[Guest Just call me Dan]

What would be a cool gimmick you think could get over on today's WWE program that would be a fresh but not too cartoonish character? What would he/she be like and how would they make an impact?

 

I always thought it would be cool to have a guy named The Maker. He basically thinks the WWE , its wrestlers and titles are inferior. He has gear like most wrestlers, but it has kind of a S.W.A.T. feel to it. He keeps on an earpiece and a visor over one eye that emits light and gives stats etc on wrestlers, arenas and all. The guy can control everything in the arena like lights, sounds, workers, security etc. He also knows all wrestlers strengths/weaknesses, and wrestles a copycat style to whoever he wrestles. He could cut off the lights on bind people in matches, do whatever he wanted. Pretty much unbeatable, but each superstar would have a vendetta with him and try until it happened. Whoever the champion was at the time would be all egotistical and challenge him, The Maker would accept and get by that guy barely. He wouldn't take the title but develop a respect for the title and why it is so sought after. He'd eventually turn into an ass kicking face and become more down to earth as time went by.

 

Still the effects could really make him cool without being ghey like Taker's lightning or Kane's fire. He's just a technically sound wrestler who can imitate anyone'smoves and ususes it to beat him coupled with the fact that he could cut off the lights, set off pyro, blare a sound or do almost anything to overcome and distract an opponent. He is Vince's right hand for a while and just takes anyone out at Vince's beckon call. No real feud and he kind of just appears and sparks interest.

 

What would be the perfect gimmick in your eyes or at least one you think could get over, and why?

my gimmick for a wrestler is to have a guy claim to be the most hardcore freak ever for a couple of weeks in vignettes and then debut him. for every match he will carry a chair, kendo stick and other weapons to the ring, but he never gets to use them. he always gets smacked around with his own weapons, and has to wrestle his way out of these problems. basically he's playing a hardcore wrestling freak but he is really a trained legit wrestler who just gets his weapons used against him.

No offense, but that's a horrible and over the top caroonish character.

 

My Character:

 

"The Walker" Shane Forrester. He's a wrestler, he will out wrestle you. He'd be a tweener in the fact that he can out maneuver everyone. Has a dislike for the entertainment and the fact there's too much talking. In a dream world he'd have benoit's workrate and flair's charisma.

 

How do you like me now?

[Guest Just call me Dan]

Well it's not like he has any powers. the lights would cut off and his opponent would be left laying, he wouldn't use those types of things all the time but did if he came close to losing. Doesn't look gimmicky. that visor thing was just something cool for the entrance like all the lights are off but you can see that big spark so you know he's there, then cue the rest of the intro. He uses other wrestler's moves only when he fights THEM to piss the crowd off. I don't know it was just off the top of my head, but I didn't find it too cartoony. Ah well, to each his own. I respect your critisizm and I know it would never work, anyway.

[Guest IDrinkRatsMilk]

here's an idea: a guy who is openly disdainful of straight up wrestling, he's all about the entertainment and the pyro and that type of thing. He's tells everyone to get with the times, and he always wrestles in table matches and gimmick stuff like that. He eventually has a straight wrestling match in which he proves to actually be really good at it, further legitimizing his hatred of technical wrestling.

[Guest LesnarLunatic]

This is my gimmick idea, for myself, not for you guys.

 

The gimmick is that I am the Universal Lover. I have sex with all the WWF divas (well, the heel divas) and I try to get the good Divas as well. I come to the ring wiith four women, I treat them like dirt and send them back before the match, I make it clear that I am the main attraction and not some woman. WHOOOOOOO!!!!!

 

and then I will get Stacy!

[Guest dreamer420]

yeah, that'll put asses in seats.

[Guest LesnarLunatic]

well, in theory, the fans will want the arrogant heel (me) to get pummelled.

 

I'd also feud with Jeff Hardy while expressing my desire to bang Lita and my views that Jeff's a bit queer that that Lita is trailer park trash.

[Guest SuperTonyJaymz]

I thought up an idea while listening to the hives.

 

Okay take some european guy, like Alex Wright. Nowwhenever he wins a match, he gets on the mic and is like "Alex Wright loves America, and America loves Alex Wright!"

 

Basically he would be a cocky european. i donno..im tired

[Guest nWoScorpion]

My Gimmick Guy:

 

hmmm........Wrestlers like Sting but a little more aggresivly, can wrestle LW & HW Style matches, and his finisher (I created but stole from someone probably 5 years ago), a Reverse Top Rope suplex through a table. (I know it sound very very weak.)

[Guest DARRYLXWF]

The gimmick I've made up in time, could probably put anyone over, if they were determined to get over.

 

Anyhow, we start of by Wrestler X heading onto WWF t.v for the first time as an interview man. For the first month, he would just be a normal interview guy...but slowly, his mood changes. He starts bringing forward more cynical and smartass comments to the wrestlers, like for instance, asking why Jeff Hardy wears gay clothing, and why Jeff Hardy does that epileptic dance when he comes out.

 

As for the rock, Wrestler X just makes fun of his over the top character.

 

"Ifff ya smelllllalalalalalalal what the rock is cookin!"

".....What the hell does that mean?!"

[Guest SuperTonyJaymz]

I swear I always wanted Kevin kelly to just say "Fuck you!" and kick Rock's ass...Kelly was an ECWA Champion you know:)

[Guest CoreyLazarus416]

I kinda took this idea from Goldust's promo's earlier this year, and added in some other elements. Basically, it's "The Premiere Attraction" Corey Lazarus. He'd be some Hollywood-wannabe that would be a huge film buff, and could compare every opponent to a character in a movie. He'd begin his promo's with a quote from an Oscar-winner, throw in about 2 or 3 quotes throughout the promo from other notable films, maybe toss in an indy quote for the fanboys, and end every promo with the phrase "and that's a wrap." He'd also refer to the fans as "extras," and tell them to cheer him and boo his opponent (like WCW Worldwide tapings, as in it'd be not only cheesy, but backfired).

 

His in-ring style would be pretty easy-going, like an RVD, but once he gets hit hard and/or his hair (long hair, pulled back into a ponytail at all times) gets roughed up, he just takes his hair down and goes all-out berserker on his opponent (like NASTY-NOVA in late-era ECW...only actually hitting his spots), usually bloodying his opponent with his bare fists, then he'd end the match with his finisher, the Director's Cut, which could either be a TKO (fireman's carry to Ace Crusher) or a double-cradle knee-drop piledriver.

[Guest crandamaniac]

I had this idea for a failed Backyard Fed I was gonna be in:

 

Have a wrestler kind of like ECW Spike Dudley, a little kid type wrestler. He's always running his mouth talking about how him and his "friend" are going to beat a team of wrestlers bigger then him. He's in the match, He's getting his ass kicked, and this big giant wrestler comes out, kills his opponents, and leaves, allowing the kid to make the pin. Kind of an imaginary friend type thing
