First, an idea I've stated here before:

A guy called Jacob, who would carry a ladder to the ring for every one of his matches called "Jacob's Ladder". However, he would never actually use the ladder, and never participate in any ladder matches. The mind games this would play on his opponents would be overwhelming. Eventually, he would get booked in a TLC match for a title, and he would end up stacking a plethorea of tables and chairs to reach the belt, without ever once touching a ladder. After this, of course, the gimmick will have run its course, and he would be repackaged as a wrestling fireman.

Now for new ideas:

The Devastator. Intimidating, except this guy would be a cruiserweight, albeit with massive legs. The only move he could use (with devastating effect) is the Electric Chair. Vignettes would be shown of him preparing for matches by coming up with situations where he could catch his opponent in the Electric Chair without having to lift them with his upper body. Hell, give him a manager like Matt Striker or something that would coach him in how to get his opponent into chair territory. Maybe eventually, you can have it dawn on him that if he has giant legs, a figure four would be an excellent move to add to his arsenal.
