Gimmicks not yet seen
 
I was thinking after hearing that Paul Burchill has gone back to become a fireman, in the 90's WWF and still to this day wrestlers have had many gimmicks after professions i.e Big Boss Man was a police officer, The Mountie was well you get the idea, even The Undertaker still going to this day was given this type of gimmick, so what professions have not been seen yet as a gimmick and what professions would you all like to see done now in this day and age??

A zoo keeper would be an hilarious option. Pulls out a tiger from under the ring whenever he's losing to re-balance the scales.

Haha, I was not expecting Gabbo.

A creepy evil doll who talks to his Schizophrenic owner and convinces him to do sickening things might work. Think Al Snow and Head, but darker.

I wonder if any wrestlers are Scientiologists? And if JBL has sodomised them because of it?

I do like the idea of a wrestler who believes in a similar "religion" (too many legal implications of specifying Scientology).

A zombie. Not that one in ECW but a gimmick with him attacking random jobbers in the back turning them into zombies.

Haven't you seen Randy Orton matches lately? He genuinely looks like he's trying to go super-Saiyan when he makes his comeback.

My vote for future gimmick is a knight, full plate armour and everything. He could stand for truth and justice before turning heel and replacing his regal silver armour with a black set.

Lock Jaw 10-16-2010 02:30 PM

Mad Scientist.

Enters in a labcoat, and has bubbling beakers of chemicals and stuff.

Backstage he'd always be scheming to take over the world/federation and be building machines/contraptions to that end.

I'm 99% certain that way back in the day, WWF had a "Come as you are" battle royal and Lanny Poffo came down in a suit of armor.

Would have to be a heel and throw the "chemicals" in his opponents' faces when the ref was distracted.

I still am waiting for a "sports" themed stable. Somebody dressed like The Goon, another "Knuckleball" with the paint, a football player with shoulderpads (not LOD pads), and a 7ft basketball player (that throws basketballs when the ref isnt looking)

You're just saying that because he's not a fan of "the black people" and he wants to make Jesus tap out.

Cool King 10-17-2010 11:09 AM

Though why not just have Nick Griffin as the special guest on Raw when the WWE come over to the UK. That's the closest you'll get to a proper racist. :shifty:

I thought a good gimmick would be a guy who served in the military, but acts like a pompous ass about it, and berates the fans for not enlisting themselves.

Like, he acts like he's owed everything on a silver platter, because he spent some time in the military.

A 7ft roided up big man who has epilepsy, so when someones pyro goes off he spazzes out and the other guy can pin him. Kinda like Festus in reverse.

A new take on the jobber character, in short.

I heard there was supposed to be a gimmicked based on the then hit series Chappelle's Show. Anybody remember anything about that and what the gimmick was going to be? I think Vince nixed it cause he didn't know what the fuck Chappelle's was.
