Help inspire new gimmicks, no matter how stupid they are!

[Damndirty]

Alright, so one of the primary reasons we turn onto WWE or TNA and even UFC at times is because of the working gimmicks, right? Gimmicks are fun and really draw a franchise for the superstar, so when you watch a wrestling promotion, when "don't" you see a wrestler using one? It must be fun to be a creative writer for these gimmicks (though at the expense of the wrestler's pride and real-life reputation). So put yourself in the shoes of one of these disregarding asshole creative writers and, if by chance they read these forums, put forth some ideas for new gimmicks, or maybe even an idea so dumb, a wrestler wouldn't dare step into the promotion to play such a demeaning gimmick. I would say be as serious as possible, but with characters like Bastion Booger, Doink the Clown, the Gobbledygooker, or Michael Cole (probably his real life persona though) why should you be :roll:?

[Xero]

So basically be Vince Russo.

[Damndirty]

We really need a mad scientist gimmick in wrestling. Seriously cannot believe that back in the day when everyone had a gimmick, that nobody did this one.

Pretty much come out with a labcoat, maybe some beakers full of mysterious chemicals, and always be laughing maniacally and working on some sort of evil machine backstage.

A librarian. He would come out with no music, and he would be 'shhhh-ing' the crowd. He would bring books into the ring with him to enjoy, and the other wrestler would knock them out of his hand, sending the librarian into a blind rage where he would pummel his opponent, but do it with out making a sound. The ring stays quiet, the other wrestler stays quiet, even the announcers and the refs wont talk. When the ref counts three, he does it with his fingers, not by hitting the ring.

Since zombies are so popular and they only used the zombie for one show, I think they should have a zombie stable. It starts of as one zombie attacking a jobber, and the next week he's turned into a zombie, then they attack another jobber and so on. It becomes a stable of zombie jobbers who become a threat to the higher up wrestlers. Curt Hawkins, zombie, Tyler Reks, zombie, Santino zombie.

I'm not sure if this has actually been done, but I would not mind a heel that pretends to be a babyface. Like, he plays the heel in all of his matches, and cheats his ass off to win -- but then is all "I love you guys! Call your mothers!" To be honest, I think it would be perfect for someone like Christian. He could start sucking up the fan's asses and start them chanting "One more match!" all the time, and he uses that to go to Teddy Long and he gets his title shot, and cheats his ass off to win the title.

I got a good one, how about a morbidly obese heel (I'm talkin at least 600-800 lbs) who usually loses because he's out of breath and/ or cant get back into the ring because hes soo out of shape. Now hear me out, they could turn this into a long term storyline. One day a face sees him crying backstage because he always looses because of his weight and the face tells him that he can help him get into better shape. Then over a span of 8 months to over a year we see segments of the obese guy losing weight naturally. Eventually, the guy gets down to a healthier weight and returns to the ring as a face. You see, this way the face becomes more over because he's helping someone out of the goodness of his heart, the former obese heel becomes a face because people can sympathize with how hard it is to lose weight. On top of all that their helping save someones life and possibily inspire some other people to seek help and lose weight naturally.

Kane can be the CEO of a horror-themed fictional "wrestling federation" called the Freak Circus Federation,FCF, that invades the WWE arena. This will not be a mere stable like the Ministry, but a faction like the WCW/ECW Alliance. People in the faction can include ICP, Evil Doink, the Boogeyman, Papa Shango, Great Muta, Judas Mesias, Seven, Viscera, Midean, Gangrel, Abdullah the Butcher, Raven, and Daffney. During this invasion we could see really bizarre things like dozens of demonic midgets coming from under the ring and dragging people (including those from the audience) under there, people popping out of the commentating table, weird lights and visuals in the dark arena, a giant circus tent over the ring, scenes where there'd be an unknown victim, the light goes out and when it comes back on, the person's body parts would be all over the place.

A news reporter that keeps attacking people backstage so he has a "big story" about mysterious attacks on wrestlers backstage.

I would actually sort of be interested in a story where Joey Styles was behind attacks on WWE Superstars to create a "big scoop" for WWE.com. :-\

Since his team with Curt Hawkins seems to be going nowhere fast, and given how he has such a warm, encouraging voice -- which completely contrasts with his current character; I'd go for broke with Tyler Reks, and have him re-debut with his hair cut and his beard shaved. He comes out in a suit and says that he left the WWE and went to the mountains to find himself, and he wondered why he never got opportunities in this company. It's because he shuts himself off from the universe, and his energy was all negative. But now he's back, and he's feeling "T-Riffic."

You basically have Reks become a guru of "positive energy," always approaching guys that have a beef with each other, and telling them to "Calm down and wish nothing but love for your adversary. That love will transform your enemy; and isn't that the real victory?"

In the ring, Reks can basically be a fair sport, and offer his hand at the beginning of matches, and uses his can-do attitude to "move mountains in the ring."

[Lock Jaw]

He can then tell people that "That's not a bad thing.... It's.... A GOOD THING!"

They should have a bloodthirsty wildman from South America or Africa who acts like a savage animal and has to be kept in a cage as he is taken down to the ring and is kept in restraints that will be loosened the moment he is in the ring, and when he's done with the match, they lure him back to his cage with a fat bloody steak or animal part on the end of a stick. He doesn't do technical wrestling or anything like that; he's an animal and fights like one, hissing, screaming, drooling, biting, scratching. He looks convincing; almost malnourished, dirty, scraggly hair, piercings everywhere, tribal scars, and loin cloth and all, maybe even a shrunken head. Officials, including the ref, usually try to stay out of the ring, and they don't need to get in it because this guy doesn't pin or use real submission holds besides strangling, but gets DQed almost every time because of excessive violence. His name is Huju Kuju.

When pot's legalized (and it is inevitably going to be, regardless of what some people think) there is going to be a person based on consuming it like Austin did with beer, and will probably the next big thing. My guess would be this is how they'd push John Morrison (if he returns) with this, given his hippie rock star gimmick, or maybe Kofi Kingston with the rastafarian thing. They might not even wait for it to be legal, given how people are digging the radicalization of a storyline.

This requires pot being legalised within John Morrison's shelf life (Or Kofi's), or them risking the wrath of shareholders for pushing an illegal drug user while WWE has a wellness policy in place.

The former's far more likely, but still not particularly so.

That's what I mean! As far as an illegal substance, they won't even touch on the subject, but afterwards, you never know. Now I know TNA was sorta kinda trying it for RVD, but I don't think it stuck very long. And then they had the tag team Kronik in WCW, but that was going on in its bad days. But, altogether, do you think Austin and those he was sharing with were really drinking alcoholic beer (which if not, then they would be playing with people's heads on this topic too)?

C'mon! It's a fixed sport with guys beating the crap out of each other in a way that would kill a normal person in reality!

You contradicted yourself again.

They've already demonstrated they are willing to sacrifice themselves on the altar of the investor opinion, so don't delude yourself. most, if not all of your link spam is prior to the Wellness Policy, where they really cleaned up their act and changed direction.

The fact that you have to go back prior to the program to defend your argument, and as far back in programming as 1998, for example, kind of demonstrates the point. This is what they used to do. And while I have little doubt that Vince is still a manchild inside, we see a lot fewer antics of any size since WWE decided to put on a serious corporate face.

Your argument seems to (albeit possibly disrupted by English being your second or third language) revolve around "LOL they were depraved 15 years ago so surely they'll do this now!" As if nothing has changed. Even Live Sex is an outlier, and it was tame compared to Attitude Era shit. Even their SHOCK MOMENTS are less shocking and depraved, and that's prior to the Wellness Policy.

But yes, you're right. A fat Samoan used to sit on guys' faces, so clearly WWE is going to tell its investors to fuck off and do a pot angle, especially with the prospect of federal intervention (again). I mean, sure, vince has changed his business model to appeal more to a stock portfolio than a fan perspective, but damn it, A FAT DUDE USED TO SHOVE HIS ASS IN PEOPLE'S FACES!

I understand wrestling is not the most mature passtime. I understand the actual in-ring stuff makes little sense from a logical perspective. I even understand the programming attracts a lot of kids. But Jesus H Tapdancing Christ, use some fucking logic when approaching the business end of shit. Vince may be a man of petty vendettas who would cut off his nose to spite his face, but he's also one of many shrewd businesspeople behind making WWE a corporate media empire.

Vince may have mocked Congress when they were looking into him, but he dropped trou REALLY fast on the business end of things, and he's not going to risk it no matter how much you want him to.

Hell, even the Chech and Chong guest host shit skirted well around Marijuana to the point of being the kind of stuff you can show on Saturday mornings on shows about kids and their talking dogs.

Germaphobe wrestler who can't touch the ropes durring a match without busting out hand sanitizer or he gets the ring crew the rub down the ropes with it before his matches. The hillarity will be he has no problem touching the other wrestlers though, although after the match he would use the sanitizer as sort of an insult if he won.

You contradicted yourself again.

They've already demonstrated they are willing to sacrifice themselves on the altar of the investor opinion, so don't delude yourself. most, if not all of your link spam is prior to the Wellness Policy, where they really cleaned up their act and changed direction.

Quite honestly, I'm not really sitting around and trolling on this because it's JUST A FUCKING SHOW, and truthfully, as much as I love wrestling, I don't really care to make a bunch of paranoid theories on the outcome of their business decisions and potential violations within their legal issues, that's their problem and not mine. The topic of my thread is simply to inspire ideas for gimmicks no matter HOW STUPID THEY ARE, and that's it. You may see mine as unrealistic and unlikely just because I wasn't taking my prior comments seriously and you had to have a fucking heart attack over it, but it's really sad to see people like you so desperate to make yourself into a jackassing troll over nothing because your mom didn't let you get your morning suck of her tit.
Now if you want to make those paranoid theories, I'm gonna simplify this for you so that you understand that they mean jackshit when your goddamn ratings fall to an all-time low, because that is what FEEDS the global empire (that includes the merchandise, the network, and most importantly the EMPLOYEES). WWE thought that by going back to the standards of the 80s, the people who followed those times will come swarming back with their kids as the doubling factor, however, this did not happen the way they had planned. The ratings are dropping down as low as they were prior to the attitude era and the reason for it is the promoting of messages that just don't fit together, namely, promoting kids to "be a star" and stand up to bullying while the company is based on the same kind of violence that is behind it. People don't like to be made out to be idiots, which is what this odd mixture of campaigns that don't add up to any real purpose is doing in the long run. Despite its hunger for money, I think this marketing towards children is wrong and the people are starting to get it. It should be more of an adult program, like it was, and the pot-themed angle could work well, and, like I said, it doesn't even really have to real pot they are indulging, so there is no real violation of the Wellness Program. Hell, if they're afraid of a face getting exposure for it, make it a heel with this angle and let the people decide how popular he is.
If WWE doesn't do it, TNA is going to pick up on it with a "fresher" wrestler, and maybe... just maybe it will be what puts their company on top, mark my words. You can keep trying and wasting your breath (or the skin cells of your fingertips), but your statistics FAIL!

So wait. You're accusing me of trolling for applying logic to claims that had nothing to do with the thread premise itself (You were pushing the idea that it would happen eventually), and you're calling me paranoid at the same time.

You also claim that you're not going to waste time doing exactly what you're doing already.

:rofl:

I hope you're taking the piss and not as legitimately stupid as you come off.

I'm not accusing you, it's obvious that's what you are, and I figured I might as well talk your nonsensical prick language that you have mistaken for your so-called English. All I heard out of your posts were just a bunch of misinforming ramblings that didn't add up to shit as if you knew anything about the business, yet, like every other troll, you're still there living in your mom's basement spending time whining like a bitch when you could go out to find a job as a diner waitress or something and get some pussy from someone other than your mom (alright, maybe that one might be a stretch but there's always the red light district when you need it as long as your mom gives you an allowance for fillin in the slot for your old man). I will agree with you on one thing, I do feel stupider after reading your insignificant baseless garbage. As far as gimmicks you go, if you had any chance in the business, you would be a pretty good replacement for Eugene, after all, you legitimately are a fat-lipped bucktoothed drooling fucktard! :drool: No need to reply, cuz I can already predict your comments to be somewhere along the lines of "DUUUHwhichwaydideegooo?":shifty:.

[Damndirty]

The whole conspiracy storyline could have created all kinds of good gimmicks and could have put over alot of people, had they not been impatient. Had it been done correctly, such as creating a faction out of those fired and conspirators involved, would intrigue people to question who or what was really a heel or a face. For instance, Ziggler's embrace of a being a heel could have been (and fortunately for him, still can be) an opportunity to get people to not see heels as villains, but are people who refuse to be dogs told to fetch when the crowd tells them to, however, signify the morals of being independent and "not" being a crowd-follower. Cena, whether he deliberately is making it this way or not, is promoted as a face, but you already see the response to him by the popular majority in the audience, which is also opportunity to give way to the blurring-of-lines-potential, if he is willing to play along. People prefer to see characters they can relate to that are allowed to say what they please (hence what Punk's trying to do), not see talent being circus-sealed (hence what Cena was forced to do).

LOL I just imagined Booker T in that same position, with that same face, and that dude you posted standing over him and moving his arms in a forward motion and squatting a little bit as he does it...

...making for one of the most disturbing (and best) things ever seen on WWE programming.

We really need a mad scientist gimmick in wrestling. Seriously cannot believe that back in the day when everyone had a gimmick, that nobody did this one.

Pretty much come out with a labcoat, maybe some beakers full of mysterious chemicals, and always be laughing maniacally and working on some sort of evil machine backstage.

i like this idea...but use it as a manager, and then have the wrestler as his "Frankenstein"....

How about a judge character...or even better a Judge Dredd esque character.

[Nark Order]

How about a judge character...or even better a Judge Dredd esque character.

Mike Awesome had a manager with a Judge gimmick back in ECW when Awesome was the ECW World Heavyweight Champion. I can't quite remember his name at this moment but there are like 100 other wrestling nerds on this site that will most likely back me up and let us know what his name was in a couple of minutes.

[whiteyford]

Judge Jeff Jones

[Damndirty]

It would've been cool for Heidenreich to come out with an SS officer in a trenchcoat as a manager. He could be the Nazi Superman!

[Drakul]

A childrens TV presenter. He can dress in the usual kiddy show outfit, Mr Jolly style.
He can come to the ring with puppets and guys in those weird costumes you see in theme parks.

If he's heel, he can use the puppets as weapons and the guys in costumes can take people out backstage.

[Drakul]

If that gimmick fails, bring in Neil Buchanan.

That's a good idea! That could definitely work for WWE right now, and I'm not sure if it's been done before.
