I want a wrestler who likes garlic and he eats garlic and then he can't be pinned because other wrestlers don't like his garlic breath. There'd be an angle where R-Truth would have breath mints.

Lesnar basically sounds like a more countrified version of Scott Steiner.

Having said that, this is easily his best promo (apologies for the bad audio mixing)

He's much more charasmatic all be it goofily so than I expected.

The OCD wrestler gimmick sounds like it could be really entertaining.

I'd like to see a wrestler afraid of germs, or just an OCD wrestler in general. Like he's a face but refuses to high five the fans on the way down to the ring, he wrestles in a full body suit to avoid getting sweat on him, he uses Purell after locking up with someone. When he goes up to the turn buckle to hit his ten punches, if he can't hit exactly ten he freaks out and it throws him off for the rest of the match. When he goes up to hit a top rope elbow or something, but he won't jump because the guy isn't exactly in the center of the ring. He'd be a comedy jobber, of course.

I love this so much.

Hitting his finisher an even number of times, spraying hand sanitizer in opponents eyes etc...

It would be better if he obsessed over a number other than 10. Like he could only punch the guy 7 times or if the ref was counting him out of the ring and hit 8, he would roll back in and out so he could come in on 7.

Or maybe make the number revolve around 4 so he would steal a page from King Kong Bundy and make the ref count to 4 instead of 3.

Well the one gimmick I would like some promotion, either CHIKARA or WWE try is a Peter Pan type character. (Surprise surprise given my avatar) But the more I think about this character the more I think that he would basically be Hornswoggle if he was average size, could talk, and could wrestle. It would have to be played but someone who can act and look very immature, and very childish. And maybe by someone with an insane spot monkey move set. You could also have him do heel moves and not understand why they are considered heel moves or have him attack his own partner at one point in a tag match.

But like I said, the more I think about this the more he would basically a normal sized hornswoggle.

I want a mime gimmick, mostly for the invisible wall spot. Opponent comes off the ropes, runs at the mime, but runs into some sort of force field, which the mime then runs his hands across. The other guy gets up, tries feeling along the wall too, can't find a way through. Mime opens a "window" punches the other dude in the face.

Give him an invisible tag team partner (which I know has been done) to complete the package.

I'd also like a gimmick of just an unlucky guy who wrestles hardcore matches. He goes to spray his opponent with a fire extinguisher only it's all out and he looks into it himself to see if he can see any and it sprays him in the face so he loses. He goes to set up a table to throw his opponent into, only the legs are broken so it won't stand up. The chair he goes to swing at his opponent falls apart when he lifts it above his head. Comedy jobbers are what this company needs, damnit!

I'll just take these genius ideas to Vince Russo then. He's a man who can see my vision!!!

One more gimmick which revolves around a cruiserweight division existing.

Ever seen Dazed and Confused? The Ben Affleck character. Some giant jock who is just picking on smaller guys than him to try and impress girls. I always though Chris Masters would be perfect for this. He's backstage picking on the guys under 6 feet tall, pushing them around, interfering in their matches, challenging them to fights and always destroying them and trying to use it to impress whatever nameless blonde characters are on his brand. I don't think it would ever really have a blow off feud, but maybe it goes on for like three months until a small guy finally beats him by being faster than him, he's off TV for a month and pretends it never happens and just repeat. Of course whoever beats him wins the heart of the girl who admits she never really liked Masters.

Also, a wrestler who is clearly only using the WWE as a platform to promote another (fictional) product, and treats every moment he's on-screen as Infomercial Time! Kind of like that Castrol GTX Magnatec episode of The Dirt Sheet, but full-time, and the guy wrestling in an MVP body-suit covered in endoresements.
Disco Inferno pitched this idea in 1998 and again in 2000 and 2001.

I don't think his life had fallen to poo poo. I think the point of contention was one Lance Steel liked slaying dragons while the other Lance Steel liked dragons.

House shows are used a lot for dry runs of PPV matches. Also, I've heard of guys working out spots in the ring prior to the doors opening. If I remember right WWE wants all the guys in the building like 6 hours before the show so they've got plenty of ring time before the show starts to work stuff out.
