Create a Character: Gimmicks you'd like to see

Or, you do it this way.

He's a manager that walks around with a cane, and talks about how "I'd be in there, but I was attacked after a match in Puerto Rico, but I could have been a champion, I could have main evented WrestleMania ten times over, I was that good".

The problem is... he's full of shit.

He never was a wrestler, the was no attack, and he's never even been to Puerto Rico, and there is no injury. So he'd go to the ring with his clients, and given the opportunity, he'd put the boots to their opponents, hit them with his cane, and forget himself that he's supposed to be disabled.

Then, after the match, he's back to limping and walking with his stick. Maybe selling that "I was trying to protect myself, he went for my knee, I had to defend myself, what kind of man would assault a disabled person like that?!"

Barely related, I still think they dropped the ball by never having Eugene turn heel by going full Kevin Spacey at the end of the Usual Suspects.

Wasn't that Fatu's gimmick in like 1995?

He was an ex-gang member who "escaped the life" and was preaching to kids to say no and stay in school, and his ex-gang friends would show up at his matches in an attempt to lure him back in. I remember this very vaguely. I was smoking a lot of herb at the time.

Huh I guess you're right....I barely remember his run as Fatu. Well after 20 years I think it's fair game to recycle the gimmick.

I wouldn't doubt that Vince is toying with the idea of an ISIS heel. I remember when Sgt. Slaughter claimed to be Saddam's friend during the first Iraq War. It was hilarious and everyone hated Slaughter and thought he was going too far:

Lol, i was just re watching the shows leading up to wrestlemania , and slaughter was cutting a promo with the shiek , showing his boots he was going to wear as a gift from saddam , typical shiek boots with the hook on the end
 
Bring back a career jobber, someone in the Pete Gas mould who never got a win... Make them bitter as hel about how they were treated and have them constantly sabotage events and speeches, possibly as a masked character, and then have an emotional revealing, complete with bitter angst, and start a bizarre, yet watchable feud between HHH and McMahon involving various other dudes who got the shitty end of the stick through the years as slot fillers.
 
I'd like see see a new character debut who gets everything pinned to him for a big debut, he gets the elaborate vignettes, he gets the pyro, the entrance. Everything a character needs to make his debut seem like a big deal.

Then here comes his big debut squash match against a jobber... who squashes him.

No one knows who this guy is, and he beats the shit out of this supposed big deal. He pins him, there's no music, the ring announcer doesn't even know the guy's name. He just walks out, and leaves.

As he's leaving, HHH goes to shake his hand, and he just ignores him.

The next week, trying to make good on this huge amount of money, the character who had all the vignettes, the pyro and whatever else gets a rematch against the jobber. Who beats him within seconds, and he leaves again without talking to anyone

Thinking "Third Time's a Charm", they book another rematch, this time, No Disqualification. And it happens again, perhaps the fastest match ever.

The new character is fired, and the jobber becomes a target for The Authority, because he's just cost them millions not only destroying their big signing, but then he ignores HHH whilst leaving.

From there, the guy who was meant to be the big deal can come back later, where he can say "I wasn't ready, they offered me everything, I couldn't turn down the money, I have a family to feed, but I had all this pressure heaped upon me, I just cracked."

not a bad idea, could roll with that for sure....i'll add more when i have time ...but I like the idea.
 
Back in the day when Dan Severn and Ken Shamrock were rumored to form "The Shooters," a friend and I came up with the gimmick of the "Cum Shooters." We were gonna be a tag team with all sorts of moves: "Bust a nut." "blow your load" "Slinging ropes" etc. We'd come out with like those pyrotechnic shirt guns, but it would be modified to require pumping fast and would spray a white liquid.
 
I want an ISIS member so bad. His gimmick would be fake beheading wrestlers on stage.

I was just about to post this. He could form a stable that captures infidels like the Divas and burns or buries them alive. That's probably not very PG though.
 
A sexual predator/ peaking tom that harassed and stalked the divas and wwe female employees.
 
A heel who gets tired of losing decides to identify as a woman, demands to be allowed to wrestle the divas or will sue the WWE for discrimination...

Now that's an idea. The WWE could use it to shit on all their whiniest critics.

Take the femininazi diva and give her a neutered male valet who is always telling other guys to check their privilege and whatnot.

i'd actually like to see a male valet/manager for divas. this would work, but in general, it'd be fun to see a guy accompany them to the ring to hold her fuckin belt, open the ropes, hold all her other entrance gear, shit like that.

McMahon could probably benefit from a six month run with this sort of scheme. Brings all the viewers together and a character everyone can love to hate.
 
The SJW stable is the best idea itt
 
Minotauro Rex. His finisher, he just flexes and his opponent just cringes and walks out everytime so he always wins by countout.
