A ventriloquist.
Back when I was training in wrestling a few years ago, I had this idea that when I first started having matches, I would take a doll to the ring with me and appear to make it talk. As a heel, they would imply that the doll is “possessed” and controls me. As a face gimmick, you could use it as a comedy prop where the wrestler would humiliate his opponents with a standup routine using the doll.
I want to hear your crazy ideas.

One I've seen mentioned a few times here is a Ballet dancer that learned to wrestle because they're sick and tired of the phrase "It Ain't Ballet" belittling Ballet.

I'm sure it's been done in the indies, but mid 90's WWF there should've been an evil mailman

Wasn’t Precious Paul Ellering a ventriloquist when he managed the Road Warriors during their first run? My pick is a gimmick that was pitched to Bryan when he just signed with the company before nxt was even an idea, a writer pitched him to be like Bobby Fischer the chess player that went crazy, I wanted a chess player wrestler damnit! |

Have a heelish male/female couple hire a bodyguard character. Then after some months, the couple starts acting like he is their adopted son who they take to little league games and pose with Santa for Christmas cards. Throw in some great promos where the couple brags about how great they are parenting and this type of stuff I feel can have mileage in terms of comedy angles.

Intended for a British audience; A jobber team of Polish handymen. They arrive to the ring in a white van doing a random Labour job each week. One week they wash cars, another they're painter/decorators etc.

A guy who wants to lose just to get a paycheck but ends up accidentally always winning. I always wanted to see a match where both wrestlers are trying to lose on purpose. You could have it on a show from Vegas. They film a bit with each guy of them going to a casino & betting on their opponent but each of them doesn't know that the opponent has done the same thing. Then the match happens & they both start out by doing the Nash bump from the Fingerpoke of Doom & then they both spend the rest of the match trying to get pinned. |

To subvert a gimmick that has already been done and I know it plays on the "look at my crazy passport" territory and in the hands of lesser writers could get too political/xenophobic but if you get the right talent and the right writers together then as soon as one of the Chinese talents in the PC is TV ready give them Ted Dibiase's gimmick. The Billion Yuan Man (allowing for exchange rates) playing on China's massive economic rise. Yes, it has the potential to be awful due to 'reasons' but I think it maybe a more nuanced and interesting foreigner for Cena (or whoever the patriotic face is by then) to vanquish than Snooty Frenchman/Dour Russian/Angry Arab/Sneaky Japanese ect ect.

Bad News Barrett should have transitioned to Fake News Barrett and became an Alex Jones style conspiracy theorist.

I've wanted to see a heel adopt a gimmick lampooning the sovereign citizen movement, with him claiming how he can't be counted out due to sections in the the Articles of Confederation, and constantly asking referees if he's being detained.
