Thoughts on the Gimmick Battle Royal and WM17 and should WWE do it again?
I know the crowd in Houston wasn't too crazy about it, except for Doink getting the biggest pop.
But I think they SHOULD have one at WM27. How bout it? And if so, who would you put in it. |

Can they go back in time about 5 months ago and book it?
But seriously if they did that again I'd probably enjoy that. |

No.
Instead, they should have a Gimmick Swap battle royal. Now that would be awesome. |

Was at that show live. Marked out for pretty much everybody. Sadly the same couldn't be said for most of the crowd, you could hear a pin drop...probably why it's unlikely that we'll be seeing another proper Gimmick Battle Royal, since only a few (Doink) will get any sort of significant pop.

I didn't mind it for nostalgia. Hated seeing Sheik and Slaughter in it though. They were legit bad asses at their height and shouldn't have been in there with some of those jokes.
I don't think I'd want to see it again tbh. |

I wouldn't mind a more "serious" one at Wrestlemania 30 as an anniversary type of deal..
If I remember correctly, I don't remember seeing a single wrestling move in that match. All kicks and punches. |

Most of the guys were so old they could only kick and punch.
I do remember Slaughter putting the Cobra Clutch on the Sheik when it was over. |

If they DID do another Gimmick Battle Royal, I'd try to limit it to just gimmicks that cropped up since the last one. The Boogeyman, Deuce 'n Domino, the World's Largest Love Machine, etc.

I'd love to see a new one.... but like Vito said, you'd have to keep it semi- recent. The only problem being, 'Legends' roles have gotten to be more of a big deal since WMX7, with the HoF coming back and all.....so I'm pretty sure a fair few of them wouldn't come back just for no reaction and to be dumped out of the ring in a few seconds....

Good point. That divas battle royal at WM25 was crap. They could've introduced 'em including Sunny. Wasn't Sable in it as well? |

I'd rather see an Attitude Era gimmick battle royal with Billy Gunn, D-Lo Brown, Gangrel, Hardcore Holly, Ken Shamrock, Mark Henry, Perry Saturn, Rikishi, Road Dogg, Steve Blackman, The Godfather, The Undertaker, Vader, Val Venis, and X-Pac. Obviously, Undertaker wins. Maybe on an Attitude era-inspired RAW (like Old School RAW).

I always welcome seeing old guys no one ever cared about except me. Like Gangrel.
Its a shame Gangrel got fat and started directing porn. |

IIRC, the last 3 guys in the battle royal were IRS, Skinner, and Slaughter...the only agents in the match. |

Skinner is one of the main trainers/bookers for FCW, I think. I know he was an on-air authority figure for them for a long time.

Have a battle royal with current wrestlers... but make it a gimmick battle royal in that they each have to pick out a gimmick before the match and then arrive as it.
Can have old gimmicks, or just random professions. Kane picks out "Dentist Gimmick". |

Do it somewhere where the fans would remember who they are.
New York, or Toronto would be my guesses. |

They should have another Old School RAW. That's what I want to see! (Srs)

A gimmick battle royal with some of the more recent gimmicks would be awesome just as long as the winner is the wrestling GOD JBL

Would be nice to have another one, just for nostalgia reasons, however most of today's fans wouldn't know who the hell most of them are.

I also agree with that...Attitude Era style.

I would love another one, I would just make sure it was different gimmicks (mostly Attitude Era) this time. I would bring in people like IRS, Gillberg, Val Venis, Viscera as the love machine, Steven Regal (The Real Man's Man), Doink, Beaver Cleavage, and The Godfather all come to mind. I think it would be alot of fun and it could possibly replace a Divas pissbreak.

Someone said The Undertaker should be in a gimmick battle royal at Mania, this thread should be closed.
