A guy who wants to lose just to get a paycheck but ends up accidentally always winning. That's kind of similar to the original Mikey Whipwreck gimmick. He accidentally won the TV Title, then tried to give it back to keep from getting his ass kicked. Then Cactus Jack dragged him out for a tag title shot against The Public Enemy and he had another title that he didn't want to defend for fear of severe ass-kickings.

Didn't similar happen to Norman Smiley too with the WCW Hardcore title?

Wrestling version of Popeye. Takes a beating for most of the match, but eats food halfway through and instantly mounts a comeback for the win.

Maybe like, a tag team of hunchbacks who couldn’t be pinned because their shoulders couldn’t reach the mat....

Sounds like Hogan, except replace spinach with "vitamins" if this actually happened during his matches. About the ventriloquist gimmick: There is a possessed doll on Lucha Underground that turned Taya Valkyrie against Johnny Mundo at the end of Season 4. The doll had previously controlled Ricky Mundo (Johnny's stunt double) before Taya defeated him.

My partner always wants a technician gimmick. Someone who hates how mics and stage props get mistreated and eventually loses their shit with a mic dropper, and can f*** with someone they're feuding with by messing with the lights during a match with someone else.

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. This started bugging me after I learned how f***ing brutal ballet can be.

Let’s give jobbers a manager. How do we do that? Simple: make it like a lawyer working pro-bono or a public defender. Manager gets assigned to advocate on behalf of enhancement talent in the interest of fairness. Have this go on on Raw for about a two month period, get the idea over, then have the manager manage a “jobber” who ends up getting a decisive win over an established talent. Now you have higher ranking managers vying to take the wrestler on as a charge, but his pro bono manager wants to hold on to him, maybe out of self interest, maybe for the interest of his client.

I love this so much.

Fandango should have been a badass ball room dancer. Someone that would kick your ass and do a little jig over your fallen carcus. Similar, a 1950s gimmick where they use swing dancing moves to control their opponent, watch 5 minutes of that and it'd be really easy to modify it into pro wrestling moves.

Has there been a woman wrestler with an attractive “just here for eye candy” male manager?
Flip around the heel valet “trying to distract with the sexy” dynamic.

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. I had a similar idea, that it would be Mr. Rogers meets Waylon Mercy. A psychotic former kids show host who starts out friendly and happy, then devolves into a ranting violent lunatic, who talks to his puppets, who he believes is telling them that the mean people (his opponents) don't want to be his friends.

I'm surprised we never got someone whose gimmick is that they have a huge dick.
Then it gets revealed he's just shoved a few socks down there.
