Y'know, I've always wanted to see a really tall dude who smashes the poo poo out of people, perhaps concussing them with kicks, or even KOing with elbows. Perhaps the two could team up?

Interesting idea, now on a completed unrelated note I heard that Awesome Kong may have signed with WWE. She really needs a force to counter her massive dominance, some kind of powerful woman who can kill her opponents like she had some kind of death ray on her. But where, where to find such a woman?

We need a wrestler who is so non-descript and, well, generic, that it becomes the entire basis for his character. Maybe put him in a mask, say he's Japanese or something.

I always thought that anti-western heels were a bit too simplistic ("USA is not OK. Pah-Tooey!"). I think that a truly anti-western heel with actual criticisms of the US (similar to Punk's criticisms with Cena) rather than the strawmen that they normally are (like Harvard Chris vs Scott Steiner) would be a real heat magnet. It mixes the two main heat-grabbers in pro-wrestling. Communists and people who tell the crowd the truths that they just don't want to hear. Example, I'd imagine that the heat would be nuclear for a promo addressing the children, telling them that their parents were given everything and instead of doing something positive with it, they sold out your future for a second car and a Carribean vacation. It's a versatile gimmick as well. I suppose the easiest comparison (if not the most elegant one) would be to describe it as if LF was a wrestler.

Mr. Carlisle posted:Here's a wrestling question: Why isnt WWE poaching like every successful collegiate (is that the term?) wrestler out there? Just to go back to this, I think I heard or read somewhere that it's a problem with selling. Amateur wrestlers and martial artists are generally trained to not show pain, whereas pro-wrestlers need to convince the crowd they're in a heap of pain when they're really not, which goes against an amateur wrestler's instincts. (Take that with a grain of salt, though, since I'm not sure of the source.)

CSammich posted:Guys did jump from WCW to WWF during the MNW, but they were generally lower on the card (when they jumped) than the guys jumping the other way, or spent some time in ECW in between - Austin, Foley, Vader, Marc Mero, Goldust, Pillman all jumped near the end of '95/early '96. In the later years, it was more rare (especially as during '96 and '97 WWF was getting their butts kicked and they looked like they were in trouble), but you still had Jarrett, X-Pac, Jericho, the Radicalz, and the greatest of all the jumpers, Haku. Austin was fired rather than jumping. Foley left WCW in 1994 and worked in Japan and ECW for a year. I don't really think you can say someone "jumped" in either of these circumstances.

Him punting John Cena's father is a good example of this. Hitler has a poor grasp of the concept of the Übermensch anyway, to him it was more of a physical state than a mental sate.

Brock Lesnar hates socialism. And Brock Lesnar wasn't exactly bound by some code that kept him from mauling anyone who got in his way and dominating. Really the only thing keeping him from the title is the Hitler connection and the fact Lesnar hung out with a Jewish dude all the time.

Talked about this very subject with friends a few days ago, and one of them suggested a guy who's all about beating an opponent in fair competition, to the point of running in and helping his current feud opponent against a beatdown, because fighting a wounded man isn't fair. Thinking about it, it would be really easy to set that up into new feuds, simply by having the guy run in and help the underdog in a beatdown he has nothing to do with.

A Personal Injury Lawyer gimmick would be the greatest heat-magnet in the history of wrestling :{ 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.

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. BigRed0427 fucked around with this message at 18:58 on Jan 9, 2011 |

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.
