A proper boy band gimmick, featuring three young wrestlers who could actually sing and dance.
Like 3-Count, only less crap.

It's hard to think of a gimmick that hasn't been done. A multiple personality disorder gimmick I don't remember anyone doing. That one would have some potential if the guy who got it was a good actor and could work the mic. Dude Love-Mankind-Cactus Jack-Mick Foley? Now I feel like an idiot. lol. But I'd like to go further than that still, and have the guy/gal not actually be aware of the other personas, and have various degree of heel face personas, like say, Mankind was with the Rock as Rock and Sock, but then Cactus Jack beats the piss out of him backstage. Then next week, Mankind shows up to shoot the shit with the Rock and doesn't quite understand why the Rock beat him up in the lockeroom. I guess Santina/Santino would also fit this gimmick. I guess there really isn't any gimmicks that haven't been done, the only thing you can do is pull up and down on the throttle.

I'm still waiting on Celtic Warrior Sheamus.
A big, tough Irish Bastard who's down for a brawl sounds like you could get more mileage out of a face run.
Hell, he's tailor-made for a nexus feud.

Obscure reference coming up.
R-Truth should have a detective gimmick. He could replace, "What's up?" in his shout to the fans with, "With a keen eye for details, R-Truth prevails!"
This has been an obscure reference.

Straight-edge Steve Austin I've had an idea for a PPV named 'Opposite Day' with gimmicks like this.

I'd like John Cena to go full blown "military" and wear army clothing and drive down to the ring on a Humvee

I can't remember if this was legit or something someone made up on here, but Sabu as a sadistic pizza chef. Sabu has said that back in 96-97 he was offered the Sultan gimmick that they gave to Rikishi.

A worker or tag team who live kind of a sitcom lifestyle. They always get into wacky hyjinks backstage like maybe one week they accidentally dent Mr. McMahon's car and lie to cover it up. They lie and say it was someone else causing that person to be put in a squash match. Before the match starts they realized the error of their ways and make up for it by taking the face's place. They then tell the crowd what the learned and end on a laugh/freeze frame.

Invisible John Cena. That way he could take time off without losing his heat or his spot, and everyone would still job to him.
AND we wouldn't get to see him on our televisions, so it's a win/win situation.

Chuck Palumbo with the Willy Wonka style hat, I heard he wore one during dark matches. And have Hornswaggle dress as an Oompa Loompa.
For me I really would like to see a crooner gimmick.

Muta was a heel, joining NJPW nWo, but his other persona Mutoh was a face.

I had an idea for "Ministry" Undertaker to add to his feud with Steve Austin. If he's all-powerful, can kidnap Stephanie, sacrifice Mideon, shoot lightning bolts at will and what-not, why not bring a wrestler from the dead? I figured the World Wrestling Federation was bordering on bad taste anyway, why not just go all-out and have a Brian Pillman risen from the dead and feuding with Austin for a couple of weeks? (Since SvR 09 was mentioned, just take the Zombie Finlay & Santino idea.) Then again, I thought better of it after Owen's unfortunate accident. For me I really would like to see a crooner gimmick. JT Smith comes pretty close; he'd sing his theme song (Frank Sinatra's "Fly Me To The Moon") while Little Guido would play the role of his groupie.

I remember when WWE had Tommy Suede under a developmental contract in Deep South, he was wearing a Deadpool mask and was suppose to do a gimmick based off the "Ask a Ninja" series.
Heath Slater was doing "A Night at the Roxbury" gimmick with poofed up hair there too.
I did wish Shelly Martinez had used the pirate wench gimmick she was doing in OVW.
After being sent back to OVW, Mikey and Nicky of the Spirit Squad became frat boys.
Plus that long rumored idea that Gunner Scott suppose to turn into a Benoit wannabe and become his stalker.

Hardcore Holly. Eugene. A Monkey to cheer them on. I heard an interview with a guy who wrote for WWE and the story went like this: For whatever reason, the WWE was stressing the writers to come up with a way to introduce Hardcore Holly into the new ECW. They couldn't come up with anything so one of them joked that, since it was on the Sci-Fi Channel, they should have a spaceship crash into the ring. Hardcore Holly comes out dressed as an astronaut with a space monkey as well who becomes his manager of sorts. It was never a serious idea but they did make a mock up picture of it. ..But..yeah..SPACECORE HOLLY.

Back when Festus was spilt from Jesse but not yet Luke Gallows, I heard Hornswoggle was to turn heel and wear a circus ringmaster suit and start speaking normally he would then have Festus as his avatar of sorts

I always wanted to see a psycho wrestler who gets wheeled out in a Hannibal Lecter-like contraption by a group of burly orderlies. They let him loose for the match,then afterwards they subdue him,tranquilize him,strap him back up,and wheel him out. No real potential,but I would still like to see it
