I was thinking after hearing that Paul Burchill has gone back to become a fireman, in the 90's WWF and still to this day wrestlers have had many gimmicks after professions i.e Big Boss Man was a police officer, The Mountie was well you get the idea, even The Undertaker still going to this day was given this type of gimmick, so what professions have not been seen yet as a gimmick and what professions would you all like to see done now in this day and age??

Haven't you seen Randy Orton matches lately? He genuinely looks like he's trying to go super-Saiyan when he makes his comeback.

My vote for future gimmick is a knight, full plate armour and everything. He could stand for truth and justice before turning heel and replacing his regal silver armour with a black set.

Baseball or Football player. They already had the Goon so they have to do this.


I still am waiting for a "sports" themed stable. Somebody dressed like The Goon, another "Knuckleball" with the paint, a football player with shoulderpads (not LOD pads), and a 7ft basketball player (that throws basketballs when the ref isnt looking)
