God I look like a douche (it's probibly because I'm beating up a midget)

Well, I guess in the words of Kevin Nash he's a "vanilla midget" :p

Well, what I'm going for is a bulling big man but once I'm confronted, I cower away. It's suppose to be arrogant with the strut, just lounging in the corner and not taking my opponent seriously (hence why I have my hands down and circle slowly). The other thing is that I am suppose to look dominate when I do moves (the chokeslam, delayed vertical, walking gut breakers) but I still wanna take short cuts to make things easier (plus the eye rakes/ chokes give that sympathy factor to the face). Obviously, on the indy circut alot of it is trial and error, to see what works for the gimmick and what doesn't. I've only been "Paul Titan" for a few months now, I gotta slowly build it into a polished gimmick

I might go back to full beard and slick back hair. I was told I look too "pretty" today from a promoter to be a heel.

Yes, I'm around 6 ft 5 with the boots. I've done the "monster" gimmick before and there is tons of big guys on the indies that wanna be the next "Goldberg". I'd like to make something diffrent, combine aspects of a power heel, with an old school rule breaker, combine those with my own personality and make something unique

I enjoy watching you paul titan lol I watched your 3 way and now this, fun stuff

This was actually pretty decent compared to most of the 'indy' stuff we see on the forums. You actually had me interested during the match so good job. :) I will say that I agree with Blackula that you should focus your gimmick a bit more though. Maybe keep some of the arrogant heel stuff but tone it down a bit. A good monster heel is always fun.

I appreciate that you want to create a unique gimmick -- but it's too complex for the casual fan to wrap his/her mind around within the first few minutes of watching you. Then they end up making obnoxious, random remarks because they want to interact but don't know exactly what your character is about.

Instead of trying to strike a balance between brute and coward, this could be a perfect opportunity to debut a new gimmick: "Playboy" Paul Titan! You could turn the promoter's comments into an angle leading up to your gimmick change. Why not pitch it to the promoter?

Lol, that's kinda funny. The first time I came out as "Paul Titan" I was flexing and being cocky while flirting with the fans... and I literally got zero reaction. No cheering, no booing, the crowd was basically looking at me with a blank face like "who the fuck are you?" In this match, I did do alot of cheap/ sympathy heat to get the crowd behing him but what did you guys think about my strategy of working the body? (focusing on the core and lower back to set up for the chokeslam)

Oh, I didn't know you had tried that already -- I apologize.

You do have sensible ring psychology, and I don't think you're over-selling for Alex because if you didn't grimace a bit when struck or toe held, then maybe the others would accuse you of no-selling and give the "Mark Levine Treatment." So you're striking a good balance in that sense.

I really cannot be more of a critic because I've never done any ring work or even gone to a wrestling school. What do the users who have actually pro wrestled think about Rollamacka's ring psychology?

I hate when Indy guys wear t-shirts during their matches, unless it's a legit part of their character ie. Mick Foley, Tommy Dreamer etc.

One day you'll be able to face the great Adam Evans. :shifty:

Pretty sure it was Adam Evans.

Ah, you edited your post. :foc:

Yeah took me a second before i realized the mistake.

Grow the mo.

And change your name to GM Reinfeldt.

dammit, I had a critique written and the PC blew it up. :(

Let me try and remember:

I don't like your ring attire. I understand in the grand scheme of things, that isn't one of the MOST important, but there's something to be said for the sheer number of people rocking black on black. I'm glad you're not going completely generic big man and wearing a single strapped singlet or black leather pants, but black tights/boots isn't that far off.

I suggested, half jokingly, that you look kinda like Wolfgang Krauser- and to that end asked if you could paint an X on your forehead, grow a mustache, and dye all your hair (including the lip ferret) purple, and use "Dies Irae" as your entrance music.


It was also going to tie into the whole "basic black" clothes thing. I was about to edit some segeue into that, but thats when it stopped letting me edit. So, no cute transition: you don't have to cosplay the cape and gold armor and whatnot, but I wanted to suggest you look at the fact he's not just a big bad in black clothes. He's attracting attention in attire alone.

In the match, there are a lot of things I like here.

I like the fact you audibly talk shit in the match. I like people who do this, like Bubba/Bully Ray and Scott "WHO'S THE MAN!?" Steiner.

The double backbreaker/shoulderbreaker spot... and all the trash talking in between. Seems like a) it should be a staple signature of yours if you continue fighting smaller guys and b) you should say something at the end while the guy is rolling around on the mat selling how much you just destroyed him. Be it to your opponent or the crowd. Even a motion, like wiping your hands like you took out a sack of dusty trash, would work here.

I already mentioned how I like the loud trash talk. I also like the slow, deliberate movements. I like how you prep for a big corner splash like a bull about to charge. I like the fact that, as you said, you want to be different than monster heel #536. I see less Goldberg and more Big John Studd. Also, the first time I was writing this, I put this in earler and mentioned how Studd wore white tights, and put that in the ring gear part. Has no place in this idea, but I thought I'd still mention it, because that's pretty much the part that bugged me the most... the fact you look soo... "meh".

The part where the heckler goes "put all your weight on him so he can't get up!" made sense... even though he was just being an ass, I can't help but to agree, albeit for a different reason. It seemed to me that you should have PULLED him up on that spot. Like you weren't done with him yet. Like you were going to have to teach this guy a lesson on why he shouldn't step in the ring with "Punishing"* Paul Titan.

Good job on the power display moveset, too. It's kinda old school, and I mean that in a good way. Elbow drop into a pin, stepping on the little guy, pushing him over with your foot. Nice headbutt to the lower back, too, but it seems a tad out of place to me unless you incorporate more headbutts into your offense and basically telling everyone your head is as big a weapon as your fists.

And, oh yeah, you don't look like a douche. But maybe you should. I mean, since you're going the arrogant route anyhow, something as simple as a loud button down shirt obnoxiously buttoned low- butterfly'd out by like 2 buttons to over-show the chest when you come down to the ring (and make it easier to remove). Even better if it's one of those deals with a bunch of filigree and skulls and crosses and whatnot. It's easier to get over as a douchebag if you look like one as opposed to looking "meh".


-my two cents, to be taken with grains of salt from someone who never stepped foot in a ring. Also worth noting that I actually like the example shirt and would rock the hell out of it with a nice pair of jeans. But I also realize that it has become the official uniform of the modern day tool.


*I was going to say "Painful", or "Painmaker", and truthfully, "Big" was the first thing I thought, but with all the shit I talked about looking generic, I felt stupid that I instantly thought to call you something very cliche.

Probibly

DO IT!

You won!

+1 Seconded! As a fan, I'd buy into Tom's proposal.

Needs more top-rope tombstone piledrivers/kick out spots.

Endless chops. WOOOOOOO!

You should change your gimmick to a prancing fairy who skips around the ring and throws glitter everywhere, possibly in a tutu or full ballerina dress. It would throw your opponent off guard and make them think you're an easy little faggot and they'll have no problem. But then you destroy them with your power moveset, possibly skipping or blowing kisses to the crowd after each move. You should blow bubbles as well, that can be done as a "cheap heel move" where you blow bubbles or throw glitter in the guys face before chokeslamming him. And if you do any top rope moves you should put on a pair of fairy wings beforehand.

Wish I'd have took up wrestling when I was younger now, I could be getting some great heel heat right now just from rubbing my bollocks on some balding fat guys shiny head.

to think, this could have been you

Lolll Jules Lambrini is such a perfect name for that gimmick.

Still needs fairy wings for top rope moves though.

Actually I think its the hair that makes you look like a douche or the tattoos. No offense though. :)

CSL, is there anyone in the UK with a scouse gimmick? I think a scouse psycho gimmick like Stephen Graham in This is England would be brilliant.

What do you guys think? A pair of long tights made out of this material?
