Wrestling needs more characters

[Captain of Fun]

This is the biggest problem with american wrestling right now. Whether you're talking about TNA, WWE, or ROH, there are a lot of boring, vanilla wrestlers out there. Even guys who have their own personalities are not even close to the outrageously different characters we got in the 80's and attitude era.

Brodus Clay and Santino are good starts but right now there are too few wrestlers of their ilk, and far too many Alex Rileys.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

I 100% agree with 97% of your post. HOWEVER, the world can never have enough Alex Rileys.

What's with the black bars?

[Indifferent Clox]

Sopa has been inacted. They passed it in an emergency session of Congress. Don't try to look it up, that's the first thing they censored.

[Indifferent Clox]

Wrestling needs more wrestling. But cmon yr uwarrior.

[RiX1024]

As long if WWE doesn't go back to 1993-1995 with their naff characters.

[Shisen Kopf]

Need a modern day Bushwhackers. Woooooo!

[Rammsteinmad]

The Hedgebeaters?

[XL]

What do you mean!? We have plenty of characters. Just look...

Miz - Cocky Heel
Barrett - Cocky Heel with a British Accent
Del Rio - Cocky Millionaire Heel with a Mexican Accent
Jinder Mahal - Cocky Millionaire Heel with a <s>Mexican</s> Indian Accent
D-Bryan - Cocky Tweener
Cody Rhodes - Cocky Heel with anger issues
Dolph Ziggler - Cocky Heel who admits he's a Cocky Heel
Kane - Monster Heel
Mark Henry - Monster Heel

Depth.

Time to bring back the occupational wrestlers!

Jeff "The Hedge Fund" Hodges

His finisher can be the White Collarbone Breaker

Please explain to me the appeal of Alex Riley. Blandy McBlandington's only personality trait thus far, has been "grrr I'm angry at the Miz".

Only reason people got behind him for those couple of months wasn't because they liked Riley, but because they hated Miz.

R Truth- Bat shit character talking to imaginary Lil Jimmy
Santino- Bat shit Italian charcter with a Cobra puppet on his hand
Mick Foley- Bat shit award winning author who wears a sock puppet on his hand
Eric Young- Bat shit charater who ties up with anyone he runs into
Goldust- Bat shit character who use to only talk in sexual inudendos and had tourettes (he should be back soon)
Chris Jericho- Bat shit character who smiles and has an awesome jacket :shifty:

[Malfeitor]

Bring back The Boogeyman.

[MoFo]

Make Goldust and Santino a tag team for optimized lulz.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Bring back Kizarny!

[Anybody Thrilla]

You know what, on second thought, do not bring back Kizarny.

Can we really trust AT? He's clearly a flip-flopper.

[Anybody Thrilla]

It's cool, I'm not running for office.

[St. Jimmy]

We need a Nazi Character, someone the crowd will really hate. I mean, unless they put him against Cena. Cena can make people cheer a Nazi.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Berlyn

[Kane Knight]

...Yet.

We need a Nazi Character, someone the crowd will really hate. I mean, unless they put him against Cena. Cena can make people cheer a Nazi.

These days, with the promotion of hate and sociopathic behaviour, I'd be surprised if Nazis weren't cheered as faces by a fair share of the public.

Especially WWE fans.

[MisterLee]

WWE needs like a super hero and villain type of thing..then from there expand these into stables..have a villain with all of his goons and a super hero with his elite squad.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I thought that The Hurricane v. The Ripper feud had potential in ECW. I wish they would have run with that a bit longer.

yeah-those type of gimmicks are always fun to watch.

[JKWJRMON]

We need a "unknown" badass that no one knows who's side he is on!!!

[#1-norm-fan]

One Alex Riley is too many Alex Rileys.

This. :y:

[Rammsteinmad]

Wrestling doesn't need more characters. Captain of Fun just needs to check out Chikara. :y:

[#1-norm-fan]

Who's the GM of Chikara now anyway? Is it Kimmy Gibbler's turn yet?

[Captain of Fun]

Ok then, WWE needs more characters.

I enjoy comedic wrestling, in the vein of ebessan and DDT, so I'm sure I would like Chikara. I've actually wanted to get some of the King of Trios dvds for some time. Just never get around to it.

[Rammsteinmad]

YES! DO IT!

I love Chikara. Easily my favourite Indy fed. Some of their DVD's can be a bit hit-or-miss, but their King of Trios tournaments are always amazing and fun.

[FourFifty]

Give Goldust his old gimmick back. Take away the "just a freak" and make him a movie loving freak.
