Would you enjoy JBL's Gimmick if it were given to someone else?
 
Sure, Why Not.

I like the gimmick already and I think JBL pulls it off well... so I guess my answer would be... maybe.

Kazara 05-15-2004 08:30 PM

Yeah, but it's hard to look past his ability as a wrestler in the long-run.

ilt_undertaker 05-15-2004 08:32 PM

I like his gimmick, and right now I can picture anyone else with.

He needs his long, black hair back BTW

#1-norm-fan 05-15-2004 08:36 PM

Nah. I prefer the shorter hair. It makes him a more believable "clean cut, stuck up, rich cowboy".

#1-norm-fan 05-15-2004 08:37 PM

He's not the best wrestler but he's not the worst.

He would make a great authority figure in some capacity sometime soon, IMO.

Kazara 05-15-2004 08:37 PM

It adds to the Millionaire gimmick.

Yeah I agree, I just miss the long black hair *memories* :'(

And the mustache :'( :'(

The gimmick would work well on anyone as far as a heel goes.

Azriel 05-15-2004 09:40 PM

I'd almost like to see him maybe do a "Million Dollar" Man for the 21st Century. He's doing well with the gimmick.

IMO it is a yes to that question, for the fact that most of us (including me) probably can't stand Bradshaw all too much. After all,if it were Jericho, Benoit, or Angle, we'd believe every second of it because they are our favorites. It is the perfect heel character because of the arrogance,the attitude,and the power (money,strength, etc.) and since it is Bradshaw, it makes it even better (even if he can't wrestle too well). To me, this character would work better now if it were a manager or maybe a GM, because that person could control anyone and you could believe it and it will make the audience despise this person so much.

I actually enjoy the GIMMICK for Bradshaw. He does a great job with his charisma and makes for a really good character. It's the main event push that I'm against. If he had this gimmick and was pushed to a feud with, say, Cena, I would definitely have nothing to complain about.

See, I don't know if just anyone can pull it off. The reason the gimmick fits so well on him is because that's who he really is in real life, although not as extreme. I like the gimmick too, but as Cork said, he should of never been put in a fricken main event angle.

Gimmicks fit people well, just like a suit.

Isn't it funny how some people wear the wrong suit?

It's also ironic that I found that pic of GWB at success.org

Kazara 05-16-2004 01:47 AM

Here's a fun thing to do.

Go to http://www.google.com and type in "Miserable Failure"

Then Press, "I'm Feeling Lucky."

XD

XD

I knew that too. And i still remembered how much i laughed at the first time.

John la Rock 05-16-2004 04:00 AM

maybe

El Santo 05-16-2004 01:23 PM

I like Bradshaw's gimmick, too. He coud only go so far as being 1/2 of the APA, and at least with his "Evil Rich Guy" gimmick, you know it isn't BS because, in real life, the man does know his stuff.

In fact I think he would have one day made a credible main event, but Vince decided to push the gimmick up too quickly. Give the guy a few decent feuds for a couple of months with guys his size, and then pit him against Eddie.

BTW, Kazara, I loved the Ilpalazzo picture. :D

thuganomicalcrippler 05-16-2004 01:29 PM

Nah, he's doing this pretty well, isn't he?

Eunos 05-16-2004 03:59 PM

Bradshaws definatly got the look for the Gimmick

Plus his asshole personality also fits the character very well.

So i think Bradshaw is the best man for this Gimmick.

Sephiroth 05-16-2004 04:01 PM

At the moment Bradshaw is the right man for the job imo.

Batsu 05-17-2004 09:50 PM

This is the only gimmick change for Bradshaw outside of the Acolytes/APA that has ever worked... I don't know if anyone else could pull it off with the right brand of assholism.

It already was. Ted DiBiase. And it was better then.
