Help inspire new gimmicks, no matter how stupid they are!
Alright, so one of the primary reasons we turn onto WWE or TNA and even UFC at times is because of the working gimmicks, right? Gimmicks are fun and really draw a franchise for the superstar, so when you watch a wrestling promotion, when "don't" you see a wrestler using one? It must be fun to be a creative writer for these gimmicks (though at the expense of the wrestler's pride and real-life reputation). So put yourself in the shoes of one of these disregarding asshole creative writers and, if by chance they read these forums, put forth some ideas for new gimmicks, or maybe even an idea so dumb, a wrestler wouldn't dare step into the promotion to play such a demeaning gimmick. I would say be as serious as possible, but with characters like Bastion Booger, Doink the Clown, the Gobbledygooker, or Michael Cole (probably his real life persona though) why should you be :roll:?

So basically be Vince Russo.

Yes!!!

We really need a mad scientist gimmick in wrestling. Seriously cannot believe that back in the day when everyone had a gimmick, that nobody did this one.
Pretty much come out with a labcoat, maybe some beakers full of mysterious chemicals, and always be laughing maniacally and working on some sort of evil machine backstage. |
The Groper- a guy that crawls out from under the ring when a diva gets knocked to the floor and fondles the shit outta her before retreating back to his hole.

We had a mad scientist character back in the day in the E-Fed I played in. I remember an angle where one of his experiments went awry and turned most of the roster into children.
Stuff like that would be GOLD on TV! |
the wrestling forum has really gotten out of control

Since the PG Era deal in WWE, I thought Yoshi Tatsu would have one of those guys from Kaiju Big Battel come out with him.

A velociraptor gimmick

Is that Tyler Reks' actual gimmick? Does he pretend/believe he's a T-Rex?

A Star Wars enthusiast who uses a lightsaber to hit people with.

The Traffic Man. An unstoppable monster hoss type character whose manager has found that the only way to control him is by bringing a set of traffic lights to the ring. Everytime the light is on green Traffic Man goes apeshit, Red - he can cause no offense, Amber - he can only taunt and prepare himself for moves.

Jack Swagger totally needs a 1940s style gangster gimmick. Give him some real Swagger.
|
A "doctor" who claims he can help jobbers by giving them suppliments to help win matches. The jobbers start winning matches but they start having sudden bouts of rage punching holes through walls and attacking random wrestlers backstage. Not the best gimmick after 2007.
|
Get behind the recent success of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic with a Brony gimmick where they carry stuffed pony toys to the ring. They could feud with Zack Ryder in a Brony vs Broski feud.

Here is a gimmick that is new to this forum.
New Posters who arent fucking retarded. BOOK IT |
A genie, and his manager can push him down to the ring in a giant lamp.
He would bribe opponents into losing the match by promising them wishes. |

YES. That is another thing we desperately need. A secret agent type who is just infiltrating the federation to uncover the secret plot of world domination by some heel (preferably Mad Scientist).

A fiesta themed Mexican wrestler that celebrates a win by having his opponent suspended a few feet above the ring, like a piniata, and has a group of Mexican children run down to the ring with baseball bats to beat the crap out of the opponent, while mariachi music plays.

Yeah, when I seen that, I was thinking,"Why is it when I go on hiatus watching WWE is when all the good shit happens?"

The Iron Sheik should come back, dressed in drab like that of Osama bin Laden, and make a stable with Jinder Mahal, Great Khali, Ranjin Singh, Daivari, Muhammed Hassan, and Sabu and have them wear explosives that go off when they lose a match, killing them and their opponent.
|
an emo character, who writes poems, constantly depressed and cries a lot if losing or loses a female companion, and hangs around with a group of scene kids in the front row.
|
how about a fan gimmick that found cody rhodes mask and now he haunts the arenas like phantom of wwe "lol" and he plays a pipe organ in the middle of codys matches.... lmfao
|
They should also have a guy about the size of the Big Show or Big Daddy V wear a diaper and play as a giant baby that whips the crap outta people when they throw a tantrum.
|
and takes a crap in The King's crown so Michael Cole can change him.

An ice cream man. He can come to the ring in his van with the jingle playing. If he's a heel, he can win matches by throwing sprinkles in his opponents eyes.

Before the NWA became WCW they had both Lazertron (Hector Guerrero) who was supposed to be from Space and the New Breed a tag team from the year 2000. This was in the early mid 80's. |

A librarian. He would come out with no music, and he would be 'shhhh-ing' the crowd. He would bring books into the ring with him to enjoy, and the other wrestler would knock them out of his hand, sending the librarian into a blind rage where he would pummel his opponent, but do it with out making a sound. The ring stays quiet, the other wrestler stays quiet, even the announcers and the refs wont talk. When the ref counts three, he does it with his fingers, not by hitting the ring.

Since zombies are so popular and they only used the zombie for one show, I think they should have a zombie stable. It starts of as one zombie attacking a jobber, and the next week he's turned into a zombie, then they attack another jobber and so on. It becomes a stable of zombie jobbers who become a threat to the higher up wrestlers. Curt Hawkins, zombie, Tyler Reks, zombie, Santino zombie.

I'm not sure if this has actually been done, but I would not mind a heel that pretends to be a babyface. Like, he plays the heel in all of his matches, and cheats his ass off to win -- but then is all "I love you guys! Call your mothers!" To be honest, I think it would be perfect for someone like Christian. He could start sucking up the fan's asses and start them chanting "One more match!" all the time, and he uses that to go to Teddy Long and he gets his title shot, and cheats his ass off to win the title.

I got a good one, how about a morbidly obese heel (I'm talkin at least 600-800 lbs) who usually loses because he's out of breath and/ or cant get back into the ring because hes soo out of shape. Now hear me out, they could turn this into a long term storyline. One day a face sees him crying backstage because he always looses because of his weight and the face tells him that he can help him get into better shape. Then over a span of 8 months to over a year we see segments of the obese guy losing weight naturally. Eventually, the guy gets down to a healthier weight and returns to the ring as a face. You see, this way the face becomes more over because he's helping someone out of the goodness of his heart, the former obese heel becomes a face because people can sympathize with how hard it is to lose weight. On top of all that their helping save someones life and possibily inspire some other people to seek help and lose weight naturally.
Side note, yes I was watching alot of fat shows like The Biggest Loser and I use to be fat but it's still not a bad idea |

Kane can be the CEO of a horror-themed fictional "wrestling federation" called the Freak Circus Federation,FCF, that invades the WWE arena. This will not be a mere stable like the Ministry, but a faction like the WCW/ECW Alliance. People in the faction can include ICP, Evil Doink, the Boogeyman, Papa Shango, Great Muta, Judas Mesias, Seven, Viscera, Midean, Gangrel, Abdullah the Butcher, Raven, and Daffney. During this invasion we could see really bizarre things like dozens of demonic midgets coming from under the ring and dragging people (including those from the audience) under there, people popping out of the commentating table, weird lights and visuals in the dark arena, a giant circus tent over the ring, scenes where there'd be an unknown victim, the light goes out and when it comes back on, the person's body parts would be all over the place.

a football/soccer hooligan or a rugby player gimmick.

Since his team with Curt Hawkins seems to be going nowhere fast, and given how he has such a warm, encouraging voice -- which completely contrasts with his current character; I'd go for broke with Tyler Reks, and have him re-debut with his hair cut and his beard shaved. He comes out in a suit and says that he left the WWE and went to the mountains to find himself, and he wondered why he never got opportunities in this company. It's because he shuts himself off from the universe, and his energy was all negative. But now he's back, and he's feeling "T-Riffic." You basically have Reks become a guru of "positive energy," always approaching guys that have a beef with each other, and telling them to "Calm down and wish nothing but love for your adversary. That love will transform your enemy; and isn't that the real victory?" In the ring, Reks can basically be a fair sport, and offer his hand at the beginning of matches, and uses his can-do attitude to "move mountains in the ring." |
He can then tell people that "That's not a bad thing.... It's.... A GOOD THING!"

We need a wrestler with leprosy.

They should have a bloodthirsty wildman from South America or Africa who acts like a savage animal and has to be kept in a cage as he is taken down to the ring and is kept in restraints that will be loosened the moment he is in the ring, and when he's done with the match, they lure him back to his cage with a fat bloody steak or animal part on the end of a stick. He doesn't do technical wrestling or anything like that; he's an animal and fights like one, hissing, screaming, drooling, biting, scratching. He looks convincing; almost malnourished, dirty, scraggly hair, piercings everywhere, tribal scars, and loin cloth and all, maybe even a shrunken head. Officials, including the ref, usually try to stay out of the ring, and they don't need to get in it because this guy doesn't pin or use real submission holds besides strangling, but gets DQed almost every time because of excessive violence. His name is Huju Kuju.

Repackage Jey Uso as an intelligent and cultured Samoan individual who scoured the deepest heart of America for a monster.... Mike Knox!
So you'd have a civilized foreigner leading around a wild and unstable white person. WHAT A TWIST! |
Mike Knox should have been given a hobo/homeless gimmick when he had the beard. When wrestlers arrive he tries to wash their windows, and he gets to places via freight cars. Always begging wrestlers for change.

They should repackage Sin Cara when he comes back as 'Strip Cara', the gimmick being that every time he botches, he has to take off an article of clothing.
|
I think they should La Parka Sin Cara when he returns, you know give him a mic and someone from creative giving him a voiceover, one from me and one from my homies. That would be funny.

Violent masturbator gimmick.

Howabout a vegan wrestler?
He can promote the vegan lifestyle, then pass out during major spots. |
Dress a midget up in a sack and give him a "LittleBigPlanet" gimmick.

Both seem good for Daniel Bryan.

A Donkey Kong chracter who is thwarted by John Morrison. Every week, he sets up different traps and obstecles backstage, at construction sites, in super markets, etc. Morrison then has to Parkour his way to save the helpless Melina from the big dumb ape's grip.
His tag line? Barrels Will Roll. |
A mime troupe. They'll eventually break up and fued amongst themselves resulting in a match where they all fight each other, mime style.

Mime you say?
