He's coming to Double Double E! (RAW Spoilers)
 
Yeah, so what's everyone's thoughts on Oleg (the wrestler that Jerry Jarrett brought in) coming in with an MMA gimmick to Double Double E? Last I heard he was still really green (so not out of the norm of new WWE wrestlers) so I'm waiting to see how he does. The gimmick will probably bomb anyway and he'll wind up going to the stereotyped "I LOVE RUSSIA! I KILL ALL IN DOUBLE DOUBLE E!" gimmick.

So yeah, good, bad, Double Double E?

Kane Knight 12-21-2006 10:56 PM

I swear, it's like they're parodying their own stuff. What with The great AHAGAGAGAGA KLAHI!

Leading candidate for "WTF moment of 2006" :wtf:

addy2hotty 12-22-2006 05:21 AM

They should just call him Ivan Drago and be done with it.

Actually if Ivan Drago did come into double double E, I would mark out like a bitch.

Yeah, too unrealistic.

DRAGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Jura 12-22-2006 09:30 PM

An MMA gimmick? Shouldn't Undertaker be upset at this?

M-A-G 12-23-2006 02:17 AM

Yeah and never mind that they've got Terkey already doing this schtick.

KingofOldSchool 12-23-2006 06:05 AM

MMMMM Turkey.

Crippla 12-23-2006 06:50 AM

I hear he's awful in the ring but I don't know since I've never seen him wrestle.

Who do you think's going to kill off his push and heat in a month?

The Ravishing One 12-23-2006 09:24 AM

Why did Jerry Jarrett bring him to the double double E anyway? Why not TNA?

On second thought, i think i know why. Feed Vince the shit giants and he'll release the decent wrestlers.

"WWE has come to terms with the releases of the entire Smackdown roster except Batista and The Undertaker. We wish them the best of luck in Orlando."

Kane Knight 12-23-2006 10:58 AM

Come to think of it, why is Flair in WWE? Wouldn't he be better suited in TNA, what with all the retirement homes down there?

Crippla 12-23-2006 10:59 AM

WCW version 2.

Kane Knight 12-23-2006 11:14 AM

TNA--Where talent comes to die.

Dying Soon:

Kevin Nash
Kurt Angle
Christian Cage (He hasn't mentioned it, but he has cancer).

I hardly consider "MMA" a gimmick. Then again, the only time I even considered nationality a 'gimmick' was when Al Snow was IC champ. In my book, your style and nationality are simply part of your character. And, since the guy can't talk and will stand out from the crowd as a foreigner anyway, I really don't think he needs a gimmick. At least, not to start.

NeanderCarl 12-28-2006 08:58 PM

Nah, a nationality is a gimmick when guys play a Japanese, or a Russian or a German when they are not. (Yokozuna, Nikolai Volkoff, Nikita Koloff, Mr Fuji, the Von Erichs etc etc.)

They use these "national identities" to establish themselves in the stereotypical image of these nations; the worst offender is usually the sneaky, salt-throwing Japanese back stabbing wrestler, who invariably comes out to the Orient Express' old theme and is known for "Pearl Harbour jobs" on his fellow wrestlers.

Afterlife 12-29-2006 06:25 AM

Yeah, that's a storyline angle, not a gimmick. But, hell, in my first days here I got a shitstorm for mentioning that HBK doesn't have a gimmicl, so I'll stop before history repeats itself.

Dorkchop 12-29-2006 01:06 PM

THey couldn't have given him a more stereotypical name. It's like having an American wrestle in Japan with the name Steve Jones or Mike Smith.

I have no opinions on this guy because he will get a big push instantly, stink it up, eventually become a comedy character, then hopefully get released.

That sounds like an opinion to me.

What kind of name is he supposed to have, Jacques Deveroux?

Kane Knight 12-29-2006 06:47 PM

No, Akio Kaientai Hayabusa

Crippla 12-29-2006 06:50 PM

They should have called him Nervous Ferret for a gimmick like name.

Kane Knight 12-29-2006 06:54 PM

I'd love to hear a smarkcrowd screaming "STFU NERVOUSE FAGGOT"

:lol: You may be kidding, but to be honest, THAT would be a great idea: get a guy who's blatantly Russian and have him trying to convince the world he's a samurai. Yes, it'd be comedic, but, damn it, sometimes life is funny, and sometimes funny people can beat the shit out of you.

Name him Oleg Zai Chan-- and give him a Chinese manager, named something like "Uncle Tso" ('The General' as a nickname). Uncle Tso adopted him as a teenager when his father died; see, poor Oleg had no other family, and his dad met Mr. Tso in the army...or something. Anyway, Uncle Tso promised to raise his friend's son as his own. Being a Ruski raised in China, tho, you gotta be tough, so Uncle tso trained him to fight...thus, Oleg Zai Chan, The Great Red Terror.

Oh, and his finish is an airlift/power thrust STO called "The Misfortune Cookie".

I swear to God, itwould not only work, but I even made it dumb enough for them to consider.

M-A-G 12-30-2006 01:43 PM

Afterlife....you are now truly a member of TPWW.

Is this 'nationality confusion' idea not almost an identical principle to the Jimmy Wang Yang gimmick?

"I love Double Double E!" :lol:

Mr. Nerfect 01-07-2007 07:32 AM

Kane Knight's first two posts in this thread were pretty good. The first one made me chuckle.

I've always wanted to see a character like that, Afterlife. Well, kind of, but I wanted to see a caucasian guy dress up as either a samurai or a ninja (Hell, have him take on characteristics of both). Have him use smoke pellets to disappear (in really obvious ways), but outside of matches, he uses his sword to intimidate foes. I just want to hear a guy yell out "NINJA MODE!" during a wrestling match.

If he fails to win a match, have him end his life in the middle of the ring. Call him "Ray Hayabusa", or something.
