1) FUNNY ONE: They make a gimmick which is a major RIB of Michael Jackson. They make this guy come across as "girly" and feminine. They make this guy moonwalk in the ring everytime he executes a good move. He cuts promos in the ring, by singing old Michael Jackson classics. Backstage - he acts all nice to people......and tells other wrestlers that if they ever need a babysitter for their kids, feel free to give him a call.

2) SERIOUS ONE: Let's say we get a guy who has excellent wrestling ability, but has shitty mic skills/charisma (i.e. a guy like Dean Malenko for instance). Make him a SILENT ASSASSIN type character.......kind of a mix between Steve Blackman (when he first debuted), Edge (when he first debuted), and Undertaker. He'll have a mysterious side to him. He could either be a hitman working for the General Manager, or he could just randomly attack people from the crowd (like Edge did).

1. A gifted athlete puts on 5 star matches, dominating the whole time, only to trip on the top rope or something and end up doing the job to lowercard guys all the time. Hilarity ensueswhen said wrestler throws tantrums and literally cries after each loss.

2. A very creepy guy does very weird stuff backstage, following people around, staring at people and then when he gets in the ring, he's all spaced out and creeps out the other guy who jobs due to the psychological warfare.

2) Have a guy come in all rookie, green, clean shaving, all happy go-lucky and whatnot. After a while he hooks up with a girl and he gets even more happy go-lucky and whatnot. Then after some more time his girl eventually cheats on him. He then becomes quiet and uttery distant. Insert a whole whack of cliches such as getting numerous piercings, tatoo's on the face and the whole deal. He can go all goth like or whatever. Then he can mic it up with references to roses and worms (if you catch my drift), talk about literature and topics in the bible, talk about not conforming to society.

Sounds alot like Raven's character but I believe that it differs because you would actually get to see the transformation from the clean faced guy to a tatoo'd goth guy. Plus he wouldn't sound all 'what about me' he'd just look it but never say it. And he can make fun of the happenings in the popular media or the mainstream music being the shits.

1. Joke - A wrestler who is constantly hyped to wrestle, and keeps being put over for how talented and awesome he is. Then when he's called to the ring he stays in the back and continues to do this for each show. So essentially his gimmick is to let the fans down.

2. Jack Pot and Ace Spade - The Highrollers, they are a tag team who are addicted to gambling... and they cut promos saying how they bet they will beat their oppenents, referring to odds and shit. Then they play poker to decide who is going to start the match off. Actually I can't tell if i'm joking or if i'm serious.

[Nark Order]

1.) A guy that has some of the best overall offense ever seen by a competitor but his defense and pain tolerance are so low that he is easily beaten by miniscule mediocre moves. So basically if his opponent gets in one good move in the entire match, then he's done for.

2.) An alchoholic type character that wins via a drunken blind rage or a vodka bottle to the back of the head...

[PureHatred]

1) "The Funk" A wrestler who never bathes with mass amount of body hair who uses his bear hug/body odor combo to force opponents to submit. Similar to Bastion Booger, except this isn't just accidental or lack of hygiene. This is strategic. We'd see weekly vignettes where The Funk rolls around in parmesian or runs on a treadmill then covers himself in mulch.

2) I like darker character, so I'd want a masked wrestler who constantly talks about the meaningless of life. He would go on and on about there being no god, no meaning, no reason in the world, just random series of events. The horror of the world isn't in the carnage that man creates, but in the very chaos of it all. Poverty, insanity, death, disease, crib death: nothing has any rhyme or reason. He would be ultra violent and would be frightening to dela with because there would never be any explanation or any mercy.
I'd call him "The Question" ( "Life, death, pleasure pain..I have no reasons. i am not the answer...I am only..The Question!")

I love Alan Moore's comic book The Watchmen, so I'd want his mask to look like his character Rorschach: all whit with black splotches similar to the Rorschach ink test.

ROFL.

[Savio]

1) A man in a big penis suit

2) Gollum like person.

1: The Pose: A guy who has great wrestling skills, but he is so narcisistic that on his finisher he freezes in place for an action pose and screams frantically for the ringside cameramen to take his picture. While the cameramen are confused and The Pose is screaming at them his opponent gets up and rolls him up for a cheap pin.

1: (Again) Arms Ackimbo (think Freakazoid): Guy whose arms are frozen onto his hips. He'd have to fight the entire match like this.

2: Something like the guy from Memento: The guy's wife was either assaulted or killed and for some reason the guy thinks that the killer was a wrestler and that the cops didn't do anything about it, but really the idea was planted into his head by his manager as a scheme to use this guy's situation to get rich quick.

2 Again: A guy who claims that he grew up in a trailer and whose father never cared about him and thought him to be worthless, so he went out to do what he always loved which is wrestling, and he is hell bent on becoming the champion and being famous. Later we find out that his father is filthy rich and that this guy is not all there in the head. In fact, his father paid a large sum of money recently to get him out of the mental institution and into home care, but the son ran away the minute he got home. (Think Brad Pitt's character in 12 monkeys)

[Nark Order]

1.) A guy that only works out on his upper body, leaving his legs extremely weak and vulerable to any attack. He goes for Gorilla Press slams all the time and has no problem getting them off the ground but his knees always buckle out halfway through the move...

Scott Steiner?

[Chuck Jones]

1. Johnny Casino- His gimmick is that of an arrogant, pompous Las Vegas lounge singer. Very cowardly in the ring. Tries to bribe the Ref all the time with Casino winnings. sometimes he'll even try to bribe the wrestler he's facing. Will use a roll of Casino chips to get a cheap win.

1. The Wrestling Fan: completely stereotypical wrestling fan, clad in sweat pants, dirty t-shirt, is overweight, and wears one of those Foam Domes. Thinks everything in wrestling is real, and tries to constantly interfere in matches. This would be a good way to let some wrestlers get their feeligns towards the fans across.

2. A demonic character known as Corven, "The Devil's Apprentice" (similar to Leviathan in OVW.) He'd be hyped in a series of vignettes, talking about how His lord loves pain, sin, and destruction and he'll take people over to the darkside. He'd be a big guy and would look like a typical depiction of the Devil (shaved head, goatee, even have a mask with horns). His entrance would begin with a pentagram being lit on the entrance ramp, black smoke rising up, and he'd come through the ramp. After his matches with certain opponents, smoke would fill the ramp, he'd put his opponent in a sleeper, drag him to the ramp, and drag him "down to Hell" so to speak. And only the pentagram would be left. His first feud would be with Mordecai, with Corven winning, and turning him back into Seven.

Eventually, he'd feud with Eddie Guerrero by trying to destroy what he worked hard in order to get. Try to lure him back to the darkside. The feud would go for several months, and at Wrestlemania, Eddie would make Corven disappear for good.

[OssMan]

1. A former champion from another fed comes to WWE to be portrayed as a retarded person, and the general manager is his uncle. In order for another superstar to be reinstated on the active roster, he must be the manager for the retarded wrestler. The manager is forced to make the retarded wrestler lose in order for him to have his job back. The manager does not feel good about this though. The manager grows as a better friend to the retarded wrestler, despite all the silly things he does. Then after weeks of hilarity from the retarded wrestler, he has a match with the leader of an unstoppable stable. The evil leader makes the retarded wrestler think that his manager is really a bad person. Then, we have a match between the evil leader of the stable and the manager of the "retard." The evil stable leader pushes the manager into our retard, making the retard believe that the manager is a bad guy. Out retard now starts to unleash a beating on his manager. The evil stable leader is very proud of his manipulation of a retard.

[Gone Mad]

1. Ken Shamrock the Clown: pretty much Ken Shamrock,the same ol' guy who yells and shouts and breaks legs,but with a clown suit.

1. (again) Petey the mad: He starts out tough in his teaser promos,saying people shall fear him and everyone will bow to him. Pretty much a Warlord-looking character. But in his first match, you see him with his opponent and they go for a tie-up and Petey just collapses from the pain. One move into every match, he just dies.

2. Necodemrus: A tall, dark figure who has his own past of pain and tragedy. Never talks about his problems until unexpectedly he breaks out and speaks. You find out he lost his family and asked the devil for help. He now must fight anything in his way until he gets what he wishes. Pretty much a fusion of Spawn and Undertaker.

1. My Office Plant character in TNA would be a huge draw. He'd be more of a backstage persona only.

Have the Office Plant cut promos on the tron, but all you see is the picture of the Office Plant. Or you can have one wrestler in the GM's office, then have the Office Plant sitting in the corner. A voice in the background will take care of the plant's dialogue.

Unfortunately, Goldberg got all pissed and speared Moppy . Luckily, The Office Plant managed to put Goldberg in the "Chlorophorm Chokehold" causing him to tap out.

[Mr. Nerfect]

1. A cruiserweight that people believe is credible.

OK, seriously now.

1. A violent psychotic wrestler that insists on slashing his opponent open, etc. He can sort of be like a Fat Pizza type character meets Chainsaw Charlie. But the sad thing is this guy passes out at the sight of blood.

2. A charming poetic guy that everyone loves outside the ring. Inside the ring he goes psychotic and takes things too far. Eventually he gets a psyciatrist manager/valet that manages to keep him in check, but then his psychotic side comes out as an entirely different person (so basically some nights this is a guy that is the heroic babyface, others he is the sinister and psychotic heel).

Now that's a bit too far fetched.

[Innovator]

serious: a guy who basically is a college/frat guy. Wears backwards hat all the time, is seen backstage beer bonging before his matches
