Seriously I really love a lot of OVW's stuff right now. Some of the storylines/charactes/gimmicks I absolutely love and think should be used in WWE. I'm going to go through and list them and talk about how I would use each one.
1. Mike Kruel and Milena Roucka's Pro-American Heel gimmick: Simple. They are two very pro-America people, but the thing is...they are heels. See they use their Pro-America stance as a way to get heat with the crowd. This actually caused hated heel Boris Alexiv to turn babyface. To counteract Boris, they joined forces with Mr. I Luv Duble Duble E Vladimir Kozlov. And then Kozlov taked Boris into actually joining them a few weeks later.
I love this gimmick as we see very Pro-America babyface gimmick run into the ground. And we haven't really since an over the top Pro-America gimmick before in WWE (Kurt Angle doesn't count). So here's what WWE could do with this gimmick.
When the time comes to do away with the ECW brand, move Elijah Burke back to Smackdown. Bring Milena Roucka up to Smackdown and have them join forces. Now for those of you who don't know or don't remember, Burke's tights in OVW was of the American flag. Have him break those tights back out and have him form a Pro-America stable named Elijah Enterprise.
The stable consists of Elijah Burke, Milena Roucka, Mark Henry, and La Resistance. Burke and Roucka I've already mentioned, now for Henry they can use his Olympic background and he would be the bodyguard of sorts, and La Resistance? Well simple, remember The Fabulous Rogeau Brothers? Yeah, just think of them and turn it up 110%.
Have Burke and Benoit feud for the United States Championship as their main feud. Also they can involve Chavo Guerrero and Rey Mysterio in the storyline, Chavo gets in it when Burke calls the Guerrero family nothing more than a bunch of illegal immigrants. This would cause Chavo to stand up for the Guerrero name and Rey Mysterio backs him up. Yes, Rey still is cautious with Chavo but they stand side-by-side for a greater cause.
2. Paul "The Ripper" Burchill: When he redebuted in OVW, he was given the current Snitsky gimmick of just ripping through his opponents. But unlike Snitsky, Paul would take his time in destroying his opponents instead of ending it quickly. Burchill ended up winning the OVW title and he was given the nickname "The Ripper" loosely based off of Jack The Ripper.
What I would do is bring him to ECW with the same gimmick and build him up as a major threat to Lashley.
3. The OVW Divas: OVW's got a lot of talented divas. Serena, ODB, Victoria Crawford, Beth Phoenix, and Katie Lea are the top ones. ODB is basically beer drinking trailer trash, Victoria Crawford is trying to make ODB more "classy", and Katie Lea is the British beauty who keeps putting ODB down. Serena is a good wrestler and is pretty popular with the fans and Beth Phoenix is the selfish heel.
What I'd do is pair up Katie Lea with Burchill in ECW. She could have pretty good matches with Trinity. Or they can even stick her on Smackdown with Regal and Taylor and feud with London/Kendrick/Ashley.
ODB I would stick with Cryme Tyme if they want to use her as a babyface or Murdoch and Cade if they wanted her as a heel. She is very good in both roles. I could see her with Cryme Tyme on Smackdown to feud with Regal/Taylor/Lea.
Beth Phoenix and Serena would be good fits on Raw. They can bring in Phoenix to re-start her feud with Mickie James while Serena comes in to feud with Melina or Victoria. We could get some good tag matches with James/Serena vs. any combination of Phoenix/Melina/Vicky.
Victoria Crawford could be used in the Kristal/Teddy Long storyline. Possibly as Long's other love interest.
4. Gothic Mayhem: Johnny Punch, Pat Buck, Roni Jonah, and Melody. Basically they've got a punk band gimmick. Roni and Melody are their "groupies"
They could use the same gimmick on Smackdown with a little tweaking. Bring up Roni Jonah and have her form Gothic Mayhem with The Miz and Shannon Moore. Yeah let's laugh at that though, but they both have the look to pull it off. They can even convince Jillian Hall to join them since she's got that wannabe pop star gimmick going on. They can repackage her with black hair and piercings. They would call out Ashley as a poser and attack her which brings out London and Kendrick.
------------
Of course none of these are intended to set the World on fire, but it would be fresh and would benefit all three shows.
