Gimmick/Character changes

**Gonzo** · 06-18-2005, 10:30 PM

I was browsing through here and even though I don't watch wrestling at all these days I thought of something. When a wrestler is going to have a gimmick change, character change etc etc., how long do you think they should disappear before reappearing with the new gimmick?

I mean, they can't just change gimmicks from one week to the next and barring a gradual on screen change how long do you believe should they be absent from TV for their change?

I say one month. That is four shows and possibly a PPV. I think that is adequate time for a wrestler's old gimmick to be forgotten enough to the point where you can build a fresh gimmick out of them.

Thoughts?
