Create a gimmick (that has never been tried before)

Theres another some what native american one - eddie thorpe?
 
The ancient one.

An immortal man who has witnessed first hand the colleseum, and who has decided to try his hand at the current sport of wrestling, in a bid for modern day competitive glory.
That was Farooq
 
How about a murderer gimmick, where he "kills" all the guys getting sent down to developmental? He doesn't even wrestle. He just kills the talent, once they've been designated for assignment. A "Grim Reaper" of sorts, that kills any and all hype behind a guy. When you see him coming for a certain wrestler, you know it's all over. He's the last thing they see in the WWE.
That’s just Dexter Lumis
 
The Ghost of Abraham Lincoln. Since Abe was a legit wrestling shooter, his ghost comes back in the year 2023 for wrestling glory. He can walk to the ring in his trademark black suit and top hat. He can have the suit gimmicked to easily tear off like Tetsuya Naito's walk out suits.

The wrestler must keep kayfabe 24/7. If he goes to Walmart, he does it as Abraham Lincoln's ghost. If he goes to a restaurant....Abe Lincoln's ghost.

If he turns heel he can get some gimmick $5 bills to rain on the crowd and talk about how he's "literally money".
This has legs
 
A guy with a bunch of mean insect tattoos circles in red with a red line through every bug...

The Exterminator.
 
what about like....a group of Water Polo guys who are like kinda doing the Spirit Squad thing but accentuate their looks more

or maybe...a mind control guy? There has been some of that with like Raven doing the cult thing but I mean like an actual scientist mind control deal.

Trying to think of another....Wrestling Uber driver and you do the vignettes of him picking up other wrestlers and driving them places other than the arena so they miss their matches or something?
 
Ohh man, I have a load of ideas.

1. Time traveler from the future. From a post apocalyptic future and he is here to prevent the future devastation by only one way, winning the world championship obviously. He would have a Turbo Kid style gimmick and entrance theme would be something like Thunder in Your Heart by John Farnham as well. A rival villain would also appear from the future to stop him, and would clearly be evil, with a dystopian future warlord gimmick. Eventually he wins the title, and right after, that night in the ring he disappears and never returns. He succeeds in saving the future.

Then he reappears months later. Back from the new future, but now he is a heel and is trying to stop the former evil heel, who is now a face, from fixing the future as the world is now run by an evil future cooperation than makes everyone follow their strict society rules. He now looks and sounds like an agent from the Matrix or some other creepy control agent.



2. Accidental time traveler from the past. Some regency or Victorian era man who invented a Time Machine to today and also happened to be an old times wrestler in his day. Eventually he fixes his Time Machine and disappears during a televised episode, only to reappear during a PPV months later out of nowhere with his Time Machine.

3. Kickboxer, like Glory/K-1 from the Netherlands. Not just a “martial arts” gimmick.

4. Multiple personalities. But not just Mick Foley style. But one who actually changes personalities during the match. Can even make it a comedy gimmick by making them have actual wrestlers. Think Jay Lethals Ric Flare or Gilbergs Goldberg. But with like 8 different wrestling legends personalities and totally different wrestling styles.

Someone like Ernest Miller or Steve Blackman, only better.

I wanna see the opposite. The martial arts fraud.

Rex Kwon Do or fat Seagal eating a carrot. Just talk a big martial arts game, and always throw weird uncoordinated martial arts moves, all there success will come from fighting dirty.
