Inspired by the typo in the AEW on TNT thread.
Wrestling Cab Driver
Name: Cab Calloway
Before the match he starts the meter, which runs in the lower right corner of the TV.
Carries a four way wrench as his gimmick.
Finisher would be called Death and Taxies.
In my head I'm picturing the Ghost of Christmas past from Scrooged, but with less ghoul makeup.
Arch rival would be the german villain Uber Von Lyft.

Dan "The Milk Man" Patterson
He comes to the ring in an all white outfit, carrying bottles of milk
He's a heel upset that people don't rely on Milkmen anymore so he takes it out on lactose intolerant Faces

I'm honestly surprised that no one ever did a disgruntled-postal-worker gimmick that I know of. Not even in just the Big Two--it could have even fit into the extreme mid-'90s sub-ECW indy scene.

A wrestling beekeeper. His finisher would be called the "bees knees", maybe a backstabber or a kneedrop type move. He would have a female valet named Honey.

I think in ECW they sometimes said D-Von was a disgruntled Dudleyville postal worker early on. My answer is Israeli commando. That would be a pretty cool gimmick I think. |

Pyramid scheme salesman or down on his luck gambler. Always thought it would be funny to have a wrestler so deep in debt that he'd try to rope other wrestlers into get-rich quick schemes, or basically just be so desperate in making money through wrestling.

Wrestling Museum Curator! *promo being done in his "museum" "I've come to the WWE because I want to add the WWE Championship to my collection of treasures." Oh man I want this now. Keep it silly, like Stone Rockwell, and it could work. |

Can I interest you in some shares in the beautiful Puerto Rico? |

I came in here to pitch this. I could picture his finisher being named something stupid like The Mail Slot and Vince screaming it at the top of his lungs like he did when Doink would hit THE WHOOPIE CUSHION!!! |

'The Royal Mail' He would no show most events but leave a note in the ring to say that he will be back in the next 2-3 working days. |

Wrestling comedian Tom Foolery who cuts promos filled with horrible puns. His finisher of course would be a running strike AKA the punchline.

The postal worker idea is pretty great, I'll elaborate on it.
Nickname: "The Alpha Mail"
Name: Devon Stamp (Nod to D-Von)
Hometown: The Sorting Office
Theme: Mr Postman Remix
Catchphrase: "I'm the Alpha Mail and I never fail to Deliver!"
Finishes:
Fed-Execution (Rebound Lariat)
Going Postal (Chaos Theory Suplex)

A sleazy Washington lobbyist. He always gets out of matches by talking to the referee or the GM, politicking behind his opponent's back to get an easy win.

Wrestling Psychiatrist: Dr. Quack
A former All American wrestler turned psychiatrist who worked for years at a state run hospital. The work brought him to the brink and he decided to return to his first love wrestling.
His finisher is a straight jacket suplex and whenever beats up a jobber, two orderlies come down to the ring and put the guy in an actual straight jacket to bring him the ward.
