Create-A-Gimmick

[Watson]

Yeah I haven't seen one of these threads in awhile so I thought I'd start a new one. Just post some original gimmick ideas complete with finishing moves, catch phrases, etc. Maybe some of the guys on the board who are training or are about to begin training will find something they'd like to use. Let's see how creative everybody can be.

I've came up with loads of gimmicks over the past few years. Mainly for the tiny indy fed I use to help run and wrestle for. My friend and I came up with one which we never got to use but it was a photographer gimmick. My friend called him "The Shutterbug" although I didn't really like that name. Basically the guy just came to the ring carrying one of those huge cameras with the big flash on them. His finisher would be called the Snapshot and his catchphrase would be "Get The Picture?". Also, he would sometimes use the camera as a foreign object.

Another Wrestlecrap-ish gimmick we came up with was Francis U. Kraven or FUK. Basically he was supposed to be an arrogant, rich snob. Where most guys with names like Francis would insist that people not call them that but call them by a more masculine name, Francis U. Kraven would insist that people call him Francis rather than Frank or something like that. He would also wear a t-shirt that says FUK U which means Francis U. Kraven University. Corny idea, I know, but it would have worked in our little fed. We had some crazy gimmicks there.

I came up with a stoner gimmick once that I was going to give to this hippie looking guy but he didn't want to do it. It was called "Super Dude". Basically he just wore tye-dye and just came out looking all stoned with the bloodshot eyes and all. In the middle of a match he would get the muchies and so he would leave the ring and steal different snacks from people in the crowd and munch of them before getting back in the ring to continue the match. THen I thought about just putting him in a tag team with a similar character called "Groovy Guy". But I never got to use any of these characters. Pity, we could have had some real fun with them.

[Schoenauer]

My gimmick would be the lightest wrestler in history.

[BigDaddyCool]

Being an asshole and shitting on people, that is a good one.

[Chavo Classic]

How about...

A wrestler who is also a smark? A Stevie Richards in RTC kind of guy who comes down to the ring and says that he's 'one of the fans, and he's for the fans!' He says that he knows what the fans want, but the difference is... he's a clueless mark.

He interupts matches that we want to see, like a Benoit match for example, and says that 'he's one of the fans, and he's for the fans, and the fans don't want to see this'. Then he could go on and on about what he believes the fans do want, such as Divas and Chris Masters. It'd be the ultimate cheap heat, but he'd be a massive heel on every forum and for every smark. And the marks, although they wouldn't fully understand it, would eat it up at a lower level.

Vince could even give him some sort of authority, like the commissioner, so he could interupt matches officially and set up matches that he believes the fans want to see, but we all hate his guts anyway.

I can't see why the WWE wouldn't do this. They mocked the FCC with the RTC and that was fairly successful so why couldn't they mock internet smarks who sit on the forums all day and rant about what they would do differently. In the current WWE climate, where it seems that the smark and internet fanbase is being listened to (Matt Hardy anyone?) I wouldn't see it as too far away.

[Crashnburn]

A Bible Thumper who always thanks God for "giving him the strength" to win his match. However when its time to turn him heel he would start to lose consistantly and then begin to blam God for making him lose.

I came up with the idea after a comedian's routine pointed out after a sporting event when a player is being interviewed in the locker room he always thanks God after a win and blames himself or the team after a loss. The comedian said he wanted to see it just once after a loss where the player said, "God really fucked us today. It was all God's fault we lost." I thought it would be good for a wrestler's gimmick.

Yeah, I thought that too. If it was done on WWE they probably have a whole lot religious organizations complaining.

[Chavo Classic]

I always thought more nasty clowns and evil harlequins were missing from WWE programming. I was watching Tim Burton's Batman films the other day, and thought how cool a twisted pyschopath dressed in scary clowns make-up and wacky clothes would look. It'd have to be done to the degree where its not taken too seriously. I mean, the guy wouldn't actually be a clown or anything - he's just a bit of a weirdo who dresses in this stuff.

Pretty much the same way Big Boy is dressed in the video for Outkast's 'The Whole World' would suffice

[Xero]

I've always liked the idea of a guy who reveals the ins and outs of wrestling. It's no secret, even to the dumbest of marks, that wrestling is fake, so why not capitalize on it? The night he debuts, he's just a fan and gets interviewed before the event and says that wrestling is fake. JR says something along the lines of "Sorry folks, we got our tapes mixed up." It could even cut in midway through the interview.

He starts to jump the railing and steals a mic, ala Matt Hardy, but during a high spot in a match, like Benoit doing the head butt. "Oh come on, that looks so damn fake!"

He keeps doing this until someone says "you think this is fake?" and challenges him to a match. He 'wrestles' the match, but he no sells everything. Angle or Benoit or someone technical comes out midway though the 'match' and locks on their submission. Let's say that it's Angle, and he breaks the guy's ankle.

About four or five months go by without him appearing, then one day, during a Kurt Angle Invitational (just for the sake of this storyline), he's the hometown guy. This guy then 'shoots' on Angle and beats him within ten seconds. Then this guy goes on a dominating winning streak, winning the title. Of course, to get his revenge, Angle topples him, but right there you have a new star made from a 'Smart' gimmick.

Thinking about it now, this could really work well for Daniel Puder...

[PerfectOne]

I think I'd have a giant...I dunno...fake-looking plastic mole on my face. And then I'd get into fights with Sharmell Sullivan! YEAH! I think that would be a good gimmick...

I whole-heartedly disagree with this entire gimmick, simply because revealing kayfabe is a bad idea. Vince Russo did it and it was horrible and, for some, confusing. Basically, every other match from there on out, to the end of time, in WWE, would lose all credibility and the fans would probably longer care about matches. I can see fans leaving in droves. You know how marks are. I say avoid kayfabe angles. :)

[BigDaddyCool]

A tag team that is hunched back so they can never get pinned.

[BigDaddyCool]

Oh, or renaming Ric Flair to Sparticus, shaving his head and giving him an ear ring.

[Vastardikai]

Here's a great idea...

Vastardikai, the Stupid n00b. His gimmick is he acts like a dumbass and sometimes asks questions that make no sense as questions. Like, "Stop Looking At me like that?" His finisher? Show the guy a funny caption, he laughs histerically, Roll up. :shifty:

[Savio]

Some one tries to steal the ring apron every show.

[TerranRich]

LOL, GOLD.

You're the best, Vastardikai?

[TerranRich]

Savior: That inspires me... What about a cleptomaniacal gimmick? The wrestler just likes to steal things. One day, while in a tag team match, his partner will win, but before the bell can ring, he runs to the timekeeper, grabs the bell, rings it, then runs off with it, never to be seen again. The next week, he steals his opponent's hat or sunglasses or something. Might be interesting and would be easy enough to set up angles, especially with, say, Kurt Angle's medals or Viscera's mojo being stolen.

[Watson]

Didn't Repo Man do something similar to that? I know he wasn't a full-blown cleptomaniac but didn't he steal few things?

[Mr. Nerfect]

I wouldn't mind seeing a completely two-faced wrestler. A guy that is a good guy one week, and a bad guy the other week. Have him turn from the nice guy living his dream to the bad guy wanting to break a guy in half regularly. Call him Domino, and really get into the character as an unpredictable lunatic. A tag run with him as one-half of the Champions would be extremely, interesting, IMO.

I came up with this idea for Spanky one day, but I'm not sure it would work, because it requires a lot of dedication and good storytelling elements (something the WWE isn't too good at). Anyway, bascially have Spanky (or the character using the gimmick) wear attire which dictates how the match goes. If he's wearing green attire, he'll be controlling the match like a heel, playing the arrogant guy trying to pick up a win by any means possible. Pink attire means he's going to be going at it honestly, and trying to pick up a hard-fought victory.

Anyway, when this idea of his attire changing his mood in the ring catches on, you can go several ways with his character. He can wear the pink attire, then cheat to win the match, which goes against his colour code. It might actually be a good heel tactic for him to use. You can have him try to confuse his opponent by wearing red or yellow attire occasionally. You can have him wear gold when he's a Champion, so his opponent can't tell what style he's going to be wrestling, adding to the "Champion's Advantage". It could work out.

Another idea I came up with is a wrestler who comes to the ring with weapons on his attire. The referee tries to take them off but he can't, so it is ruled acceptable attire, then during the match he takes off one of the weapons and bashes his opponent with it. The guy, under a technicality can't be disqualified.

I would love to see more storied tag teams in the WWE. Have one guy come in and have heaps of success in the WWE. Maybe have him win the US Championship or something. He loses the belt, but plays a mid-card Randy Orton-type heel character. Good looking, destined for his business, etc. Then another day, have another new guy come in. He doesn't look like anything special, but he picks up the solid victory. Maybe die his hair red, and have him wear generic attire.

A few weeks into this second guy's run, the first guy is being interviewed on PPV. By some circumstance, the second guy is nearby, and the two are caught on camera together. The first guy says hello, and the second guy says hello. Nothing happens between them, but the interview ends and the commentators make note of it.

Anyway, it turns out the first guy gets a Tag Team Title Match with a partner of his choosing. He picks the second guy. The second guy tries to talk his way out of it, but he ends up tagging with the first guy, and they end up winning the Tag Team Titles. They have a short run, and it is revealed that they were friends in high school or something. Anyway, it is revealed by the second guy that the first guy turned his back on him and joined another group of friends, and left him to fend for himself. The first guy says that's all in the past, and they continue their reign as Tag Team Champions until, the second guy turns his back on the first guy during the match, assaulting him after he's been isolated with a steel chair. He screams at the first guy, and actually scares off the other team. The referee asks the second guy what they're going to do about the match. The second guy offers the other team the Tag Titles saying he forfeits.

The next week, the second guy cuts a promo on the first guy, saying he had put his past behind him for a future in this business, but the first guy brought it back up and chose to partner with him, forcing him to relive the worst moments of his life. The first guy comes out and says that he had pu his past behind him for a future with his once good friend, a friendship he did indeed ruin and regrets ruining. The first guy points out he was doing fine by himself, unlike the second guy, but thanks to the first guy the second guy now has a title reign under his finger, and fan recognition. Instead of fighting the first guy says he's willing to call it even now, saying he had that ass-kicking coming. He breaks the ice a bit by saying he thought winning the Tag Team Titles would be a good enough apology. He reminds the second guy they have a contractual rematch, and if the second guy doesn't want to challenge for their Tag Team Titles, fine, he'll just find another partner, and beat the second guy somewhere down the road, but the offer is open to rebuild their friendship with a second Tag Team Title reign.

Later that night the two guys win the Tag Titles again and have a run as a babyface tag team. But it would be pretty interesting consdiering there is that heat between them, and either guy has been shown to be able to play the heel role, and has motivation to turn on the other around every corner. Everytime they lost, or they got a new valet or something, it marks a potential break-up spot, but everytime they'd come out the next week and cut a funny promo or something, it would be an inspiration shwoing they're really trying to make their new friendship work. It would just be a genuinely nice angle to see, IMO.

[Chavo Classic]

A tag team that is hunched back so they can never get pinned.

I've heard that idea before.... oh wait, didn't you read Flair's book the other day? I call plagariasm! Plagariasm on you sir! :eek:

[Chavo Classic]

....I would love to see more storied tag teams in the WWE...

This is true, the tag team division has so many possibilities and nothing is done with it. I've always liked the idea of a fanboy of one of the more popular wrestlers, say Kurt Angle, following Kurt round desperate for his approval. He starts dressing like him, shaves his head and uses similar moves to him.

On one Raw, he could come down to the ring and try help Angle out, but ends up costing him the win. Angle could finally snap and beat the crap out of this kid and get enormous heel heat because of it. But the kid doesn't give up, he tries harder and harder to get Angle to like him.

Finally, the kid stops caring and starts showing up at Raws looking down and depressed. He's no longer dressed or looks like Angle except for maybe one tattered reminder of his past (like he keeps his gold medal replica - a bit like how Mankind kept wearing his tie after the Corporation angle - to remind him of his betrayed past) Then maybe at a PPV where Angle has a match against JBL, JBL and Orlando start double teaming on him and beating his ass, the kid could run in and make the save out of no-where. Angle reluctantly thanks the kid and from there their relationship grows to the point where they become tag team champions.

Possible storylines in the future for the team might include Angle turning heel again against the kid (or mini Angle) after they lose the titles, or even better, the kid starts to get an ego and beats on Angle one day, deciding that he's larger than life and bigger than just a tag-team player. Instant heat, and an instantly hot feud with Angle follow.

[Watson]

I once had an idea for a tag team which my friend called "The Tweeners". Basically one of them was a heel who cheated, cursed at the crowd, bullied the ref, etc. But the other guy in the tag team was a popular face playing by the rules, interacting with the crowd, defying the odds, etc. Now that's nothing new, heels and faces have been teamed together before and it has been beyond their control but these 2 guys choose to be a team. They get along with each other very well. They never argue or anything. The heel never tries to get the face to cheat or break the rules and the face never tries to get the heel to play by the rules and be nice to the fans. They're complete opposites but they work together perfectly as a tag team. You've got the ruthless heel who takes no prisoners and just beats his opponent senseless and you got the face of the team who gets all the pops and does all the cool spots that fans love. I think it'd work. It'd be something different.

[TerranRich]

I don't know if you guys remember my idea about the wrestler with a drug problem that losees interest, leaves, then returns triumphantly. That'd be my idea submission, but that's more of an angle than a gimmick.

[Afterlife]

I have always liked the idea of an impressionist. A guy who would mock his opponents, not bWo style, but by immitating their voices. Look around the world, there has got to be at least one human being with a body/skill equal to the Rock and a voice talent on par with Frank Caliendo. Start him out mocking the heels, then turn him heel mocking the faces; it works either way. You could even have him snap completely against "the one guy he can't 'do'!"

That strongly reminds me of someone.

[.44 Magdalene]

Have a guy who works the lights and music and everything start messing with wrestlers. Have him fuck up the Undertaker's big scary pyro, at least after Taker's made a heel turn so the fans eat it up...or someone similar's. HHH's also comes to mind...y'know, have "The Game" switch to "It's Raining Men" and have the lights flicker pink or something. Eventually have the guy show up on the Titantron, on accident of course, while he's trying to fuck up the video feed of another entrance. Have him disappear for a week or so afterward.

Later on, when somebody's cutting a promo backstage in the halls or something, or when the camera's following a wrestler around...show the same guy doing janitorial work. When the wrestler's done talking or not paying attention (maybe he just got taken out by another wrestler, who promptly leaves), have the demoted guy grab the cameraman's attention and start talking about being demoted. Have him talk about how wrestler's couldn't make it without average joes like him. Disappear for another week or so.

Then, during another match of another big name, have him run in...as the popcorn guy. Have him leap out of the audience and take out somebody with a metal tray or something. Have him totally beat the hell out of a guy before getting taken away by security, or layed out by surprise by the other wrestler.

Then next week, have him run in as a fan, maybe wearing one of those fake moustache-glasses-nose sets, and bum rush the same guy. Eventually, have the wrestler confront the guy, who will introduce himself as Joe--a lowly shmoe who's always wanted to be a wrestler. Have them come to a deal.

See, the wrestler in question wants to beat the shit out of Joe by this point. Joe wants to wrestler. Joe's apparently pretty good--he's been backstage so damn long that he's learned all the big moves. Have Eric Bischoff agree to give him a contract and a match at a PPV. If Joe wins, he gets to stay in the biz. If he loses...well, he's barred from WWE events forever.

Obviously, he's gonna win. Either that, or have him lose in an amazing match, then have the other show pick him up. Even as a wrestler, have him talk about being the Average Joe--just a normal guy who got lucky.

[TerranRich]

I actually like that idea, The Critic. Rep for you and your brilliant brain, which I might ask to borrow for a week or two.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I like The Critic's idea. I've always wanted to see John Cena/Triple H/The Undertaker marching to the ring, only for it to be to some pussy song. It's genius when you think about it.

[Afterlife]

They need a guy with echolalia, echolalia.:shifty:

But the promos would take forever, take forever.

[TerranRich]

Immediate echolalia was once defined as "the meaningless repetition of a word or word group just spoken by another person." Delayed echolalia has been defined as the "echoing of a phrase after some delay or lapse of time."

[Mr. Nerfect]

You know how some athletes put their stronger arm in a sling to build up the other one? How about a wrestler tha does that. It could be craptacular, but I think if they did it in a cocky heel sort of way, it would be an awesome idea.

Have him occasionally bust out the strong arm when he's pissed, and have him completely demolish the other guy, getting submissions with a simple armbar, etc. It would give off the impression he is better than what he lets on, and could be a World Champion if he cut loose.

[Afterlife]

lol, How about a guy with spastic amnesia? During interviews, he'll forget what he was saying and move on....but then, halfway to the ring he stops, looks around, sees the ring, get's an "Oh, yeah!" on his face and runs in. Once or twice a match he'll just forget where he is or why he's there. And then, as a guest referee, he'll get to 2 and forget what he's doing. He could even argue with people about having amnesaic symtoms. "What the hell are you talking about? I don't recall that diagnosis!" There was something else I was gonna mention, but in a swift kick of irony, I actually forgot what it was. So, uh....poetic justice, I guess.

That could actually work, alright. Have him forget his finishing move, so he just uses some high impact stuff to win matches regularly. You could run plenty of storylines from it, too. The heel that uses him for tag team glory, etc.

[Afterlife]

lol, Yeah, I never thor of that. He can never figure out why people boo his tag team, b/c he forgets that his partner is using him.

The best would be for the partner to whack him with a chair and then toss the chair into the hands of the opponent while the ref isn't looking. The ref DQs the opponents and our guys keep their belts and/or win the match. It'd be gold. (No pun intended)

That is, until the fateful whack that the guy doesn't forget, and he beats the hell outta the partner for it.

Jaton and I were talking, and I came up with one:

A wrestler who is a former (or current?) Marine. He's tough, badass, knows lots of holds and moves to take down others, very experienced in hand-to-hand combat, trying to make the transition into the wrestling world with his holds.

You could have his military training and discipline come into play. Maybe Eric Bischoff doesn't like him very much and gives him shit (like putting him in impossible matches, trying to break him down), but it doesn't work and he doesn't cave in, until one day he just snaps. Applied under the right situation, it could be killer.

[.44 Magdalene]

I have a bunch of ideas, actually, just most of them suck. :lol:

I.E., a Japanese wrestler with a Gundam gimmick. He comes out in a really heavy suit of ornate, overly decorative gundam-esque armor, with shitloads of pyro and lights...maybe one of those pyro launcher things that Chyna used to have. Give him techno / JPop theme music and have it to where his entrance attire is so clunky that he needs help out of it. I dunno, I just thought it would be cool to see. Something vaguely different.

Or a wrestler who actually does use a Muy Thai stance. Got the idea from a few video games, but it would certainly stand out. Have him use a mixture of actual wrestling and martial arts that blend well with the stance, give him a Muy Thai-stereotypical outfit and bam. Fresh look.

Or a wrestler who dresses like a warped version of those old Raggedy Andy dolls. Like, dark red dyed hair, black overalls, red and white striped shirt, face painted like a doll or puppet. Have him be an anti authority heel who rambles about the fans being the real puppets.

:drool:

Awesome ideas. How about a wrestler that has an great sixth sense for things. Not a complete psychic way, but just a guy that is quite good at predicting things that should be unpredictable.

I'm sort of like that, I can guess what people are thinking, etc. and grab information from context it wasn't even given in. Not sure if anyone's following, but yeah.

Have him predict matches, his opponents moves, his when his partner is going to interfere, and have him get inside his opponents head by predicting something that really upsets him. I dunno, but I think it could work.

Wrong Ep numnuts. I'm talking bout the ep where Shrapnel ate the electron generator or something like that.

The namecalling is still uncalled for, "numnuts", b/c the quote "A little heavy on the electrons, electrons," is from the fucking MOVIE. Any generic TransFan should know that. Oh, and thanks for the rep.
