I know that the Human Tornado is essentially it but I would to see a gimmick based on Black Dynamite make it to national television. You know Human Tornado and Black Dynamite are both largely rooted in the same film as their source material, right? (Language, Blurred-Nudity and Excessive Awesomeness warning) It's the sequel to Dolemite. I know both borrow a lot of influence from 70s blaxploitation films in general, but the visual cues, language, mannerisms, vibe from 'Dolemite II: The Human Tornado' is their most visable core. The entire film is uploaded on YouTube and is absolutely worth a watch. I knew that they were both based off the actual "Human Tornado" movie but I never actually saw it. After that trailer, I pretty much have to. Thanks for the info! |

Claude Frollo from Hunchback of Notre Dame but obviously tweaked for the modern day and a US audience.

The Secret Window that starred Johnny Depp.
He had Dis-Sociative Personality Disorder. Imagine a wrestler that is a baby face that makes random attacks in ring and in the back and when you confront him about it later he doesn't know that he did it.
You could get a nice run of segments out of it, Him asking the crowd why they boo him and trying to get them to accept him, Vignettes at Psychology Offices after he watches tape that he was attacking randoms.
Eventually the big swerve is he never had Dis-Sociative Personality Disorder and just wanted an excuse to get away with attacking people and not getting punished by other wrestlers or the powers that be.
Vince Russo V.2 checking in.

A lot of good replies here. I'd also like to see a tag team based on the Boondock Saints. A ruthless pair of brothers who viciously attack heels in the name of what's right. The symbolism attached to the movie would be a nice touch.

A Hollywood slasher gimmick would be cool. Someone who randomly shows up, beats you within an inch of your life no matter if you are a heel or a face. Would make things unpredictable and exciting.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (cheating, because it wasn't a movie first). There needs to be a guy with a video game character gimmick. He would have to lock-up before every single move, be able to block anything with the same pose, and would constantly taunt to build up his finisher. A friend and I were quoting Airheads on Facebook the other day, and I dropped an idea for a Lone Rangers stable. I have no idea how it would work, but it would give me a chance to cut a promo on a GM character saying "For all you care our matches could be Pip farting on a turnbuckle!!!!!" Hmmmm, now that I think about it, it could work as a slightly comedic, face version of Nexus. Wishes do come true!  |

I'd love to see someone do a Being John Malkovich angle, where one wrestler discovers a portal into another wrestler's head, and starts controlling him during matches.Do magic? |

Oddly enough one of The Lone Rangers' (Cut! That can't be right! You can't pluralise The Lone Ranger can you?) hostages ended up becoming The WCW World Heavyweight Champion! Here's some found footage of a WCW booking meeting: (Language) |
