How to get over?

[Dave Youell]

I've been trying to think of ways to get me more over at shows, so I started to think about indy guys who are really over, a bunch of people popped into my head, Joe, AJ, Daniels etc, then I started to think about Homocide and I realised the guy has got like zero original moves.

I was thinking about the guys move set and most of his moves have been done by others before him, like the kop killa and the ace crusher for instance. His canon ball to the outside is unique I guess, but Dan Maff used to do that as well.

This isn't a criticism of him, as I think he's great, but it posed the question, does having a unique move set get you over?

What's more important in your opinion to get over with a crowd?

Charisma is a big part of getting over yes, but if you can't work for shit it's not going to get you very far

Having a good look is important, but Dusty was a tubby piece of shit and he was world champ

Decent move set, whilst important isn't exactly needed

Uniqueness is very hard after 25 years of wrestling being on TV every single week

Obviously a good balance is needed of the above, but what do you think is a must to get over and give examples of guys who have done it without having all of the above
