WWE Needs More Gimmick Names

**KayfabeMan** · 12-16-2003, 04:29 PM

If you even have 90% gimmick & out of ring ability and 10%
in-ring skills,it doesn't matter what the hell your name is.That
is what allowed people like Shane Douglas to remain over for
so long.He's an average worker (if that) but he used to cut
a good promo,and had the right amount of character; all while
wearing just black and yellow tights.

It used to be that if you were 100% talent,it didn't matter if
you had a gimmick or not.Guys like Benoit & Malenko used that
to their advantage.

Other guys made a career out of just being them,like Ric Flair....

It all depends...
