Discussion: What if London and Kidman turned heel and used an Over the Top Nice Gimmick.
I was planning of doing a Rewind today on the Strike Force breakup, but never got around to it. I know Lara mentioned in the other thread that London/Kidman resembled Strike Force a little. Now I remember how Strike Force were the goody two shoes tag team that mothers all over the world loved. They seemed like they never did anything wrong and they used "Girls in Cars" as Theme music :nono: Anyway, they would get booed sometimes by fans because of this. Ill always remember Demolition getting cheered over them at WM 4. So, I got to thinking. What if Kidman and London turned heel by using and Over the top Nice Gimmick. Let me explain.
First of all, Kidman and London have the look as pretty boys who seem to do no wrong. I say let them be as nice and gracious as they could possibly be where the fans just can't stand them. And we all know how in this day and age of wrestling there is nothing the fans hate more then wrestlers who are real good guys.
What I would do to start this up is to have them come out shaking the audinces hands as they stroll down to their music. They go over and shake the time keepers hand, the ring announcers hand, the guy who rings the bell hand, the ref's hand and thier opponents hands to start off. Then they don't even wait for the ref to ask to check them. They both just get right into position to be checked by the ref.
The match would start off and they don't break any kind of rules at all, at least when the ref is not looking. That comes later. When the ref is looking, they break on 1 counts, they help thier opponents out of the corners, they help thier opponents up after they deliever a move, they dust the ref off in the middle of the match. They just go all out eith niceness.
But when the ref's back is turned, they would use illegal moves, BUT HERE'S THE CATCH. They still act all nice while they are doing it. For example, let's say the ref's is distracted from the partner of the other team. Kidman slides a chair into London. London hits the guy with the chair. But he doesn't just throw the chair away. Oh no. London would go back to where Kidman got the chair from, firmly place it back in it's upright position, dust it off and gesture to whomever was sitting in that chair before to sit back down. Then London would go back in the ring and do a gesture where he's like "What happend, Oh well" and pins the guy.
Then after the match one of them would get on the mic and do Honky Ton's old thing where they would thank the crowd for supporting them and the ref for calling such a great match down the middle. Then as they leave they start shaking the crowds hands again and wave to the crowd and everything.
What does this accomplish. Well it gives them a gimmick to get over with. And if they are heels, they will keep the belts for a longer time. Tag Team heel Champions are more interesting anyway, at least to me.
Well, what do you guys think?
