This helped me pinpoint what I think they'll do with Harris. I can see him given a stripper character. Kind of like Big Dick Johnson, only he's an actual wrestler. I'm thinking "Hot Cop" Chris Harris. He'll refer to himself as a "Wildcat" and make seductive kitty noises and scratch the air, and bring handcuffs to the ring, and remove his cop pants in one smooth rip.
They brought Chad Dick/Toland/Wicks back for an appearance at a few shows as a stripping fireman. There you have his "let's shake it up and keep him fresh" costume. Eventually they expand him out to different attire, and go through the whole Village People with him.
I haven't see him in some time, but apparently he looks fairly out of shape these days. Either the WWE lets him juice, or just get back into his old physical shape, or he remains as he is, and it's meant to be funny he's a stripper. I can see it either way.
Another idea, oddly enough, is that we haven't seen a magician character in some time. I can see him being given a random whore for a valet, and brought in as a magician turned wrestler. I say oddly enough, because both the hot cop and magician idea can be traced to Arrested Development, although I doubt the writers are smart enough to watch a show like that.
I can also see him being given Michael Washinton Kruel's character from OVW. Basically, it's a pro-American gimmick that's played for heel heat. He'd probably get Milena Roucka as a manager, and might even keep his Russian associates (Vladimir Kozlov has appeared on a few house shows recently). I'll admit I am not too familiar with Kruel's work, but I basically imagine Harris' version of the character just being a crude American asshole, kind of like that guy who taught Rex Kwon Do in Napoleon Dynamite. I hated that movie, but Rex got some laughs out of me. All his promos would probably consist of him talking louder than he needs to and making bad jokes. I can see them declaring him with as much "fuck you, United Nations" attitude as possible, "American Wildcat" Chris Harris. Basically take Team America, and throw in the attitude of the Canyoneiro advertisement from The Simpsons.
Two more possible Chris Harris scenarios: A Chuck Norris parody, maybe even going as far as to call him Chris Norris or Chuck Harris. Another is that he's a cat-lover, and always comes to the ring with a kitten, or something.
