As "Average Joe" Hennig.
He could do some vignettes similar to his fathers, except instead of being "Perfect", he would just be "Average."
Make it happen.

Otunga & McGillicutty have a pretty good gimmick. It's called "Tag Team Specialists."
They have already begun to change the landscape of the tag scene.

Marketing someone as 'Average' just doesn't seem like a great idea to me. I would change his name to 'Michael Hennig.'

Being comically average could be good. He should have a completely netural win/loss record. Maybe have a few double pins with him botching his dad's finish. Vignettes of him hitting 7 out of 10 free throws, running a 4.6 40, bowling a 150, bench pressing 300 pounds, etc. Things that are pretty good, but not super impressive or out of the ordinary for an athlete of his caliber.

This has been pitched a lot. Everytime I give my idea in response. Have him introduce himself as Joe or Michael Hennig. Explain who his father was, Mr. Perfect. Finish it off by saying. "I'm Joe(or Michael) Hennig. I'm not perfect" Proceeds to duplicate one of his father's feats in his introductory promos. "But I'm as close as you're going to get."

NEW STABLE:
Michael Hennig
Ted Dibiase Jr.
David Flair
Brian Lawler
Theme Song: Jerry Lawler: "SON"; Ted Dibiase: "I"; Curt Hennig: "AM"; Ric Flair: "DISAPPOINT:" + David Flair's old theme
Lacey Von Erich could be their valet and Nick Hogan could be their limo driver.

I'm still waiting on this thread's first mention of "Above Average" Mike Sanders.
