A little bored at the moment, was thinking about some of my fantasy bookings I did in Fire Pro a few years back and thought this might be cool for any of the creative types on here.
One of my favorite things to do (even if its just a thought or idea, it doesn’t have to be fully fleshed out or anything) is to give guys a new gimmick or look that you think would’ve been cool in real life.
For example:
- The Undertaker
I actually thought this is how he should’ve went in real life, needless to say he never leaned into it but still. I pictured the later years of Taker’s career.. like maybe post Shawn/HHH matches, maybe even during that time as like the “eternal Father Time” type guy. I thought it would’ve been so sick to see Taker maybe let his hair gray out a little bit, grow a long beard and just be this un-beatable final boss. Same ring gear style he had in those matches, the tights and singlet. Even if he was going to be a little gassed or rusty in-ring wise he could make up for it by kicking out of the craziest moves.
- Hulk Hogan
I can never find it again to link to it but theres this promo Hogan cuts on Jerry Lawler when they had a feud (where this happened I have no idea, 10 years before I was born minimum) but he comes out with the bandana, a bloody bandaged forehead, cut tank top and some jeans and he’s just jacked to the gills haha, he looked almost like a bar fighter, his toughest look ever. I always thought it would’ve been cool if he went that route instead of sort of becoming the cartoony type guy (which obviously worked so what do I know). Would’ve loved to see Hogan vs Savage, Dusty, Funk in a Bunkhouse Style bloody street fight.
Hopefully this isn’t too oddly specific of a thread for people to bite on but I thought it would be cool to see if anyone else ever thought of anything cool.

Undertaker had so many looks, including the mask, but he never had a look with full face-paint. I thought it could have been cool to see him in his later years after he cut his hair with a death mask or some kind of paint (better than his seeming perma-tan. Tanned, brown 'Taker always seemed wrong to me.) |

When she was a popular act in TNA, I thought it would have made a good plot twist to have ODB renounce her redneck ways and join The Beautiful People as their muscle. Jessica Kresa, the woman, actually can clean up nicely when she wants to, and it would have been at least a little more interesting than just having the umpteenth reunion of the BP.

Just stop baby oil
Evil Uno fights a muscly wrestler, slips on some baby oil and sprains his wrist.
Smart Mark Sterling and he lead a crusade against muscle men with lots of distruptive protests and attempts at legal action.

I think Ministry Taker could've made the face paint work to drive home the fact that it's a more evil version of the Undertaker that's become too far gone. Nothing overly drastic like his face completely covered in paint, but some markings on his face to signify this. |

I felt that the Damien Sandow gimmick should have gone to a Samoan wrestler. Someone who’s trying to dispel the Savage Samoan stereotype. They could have called him “The Sophisticated Samoan.”

Doink the Clown becoming a grungey Dark Knight Joker gimmick for someone in the late 2000's.

"The Model" Dory Funk. Back in the day when the Funks worked for Vince. After a coconut or an anvil drops on his head, Dory starts to think that he is an international fashion model. Terry is beside himself trying to get the old Dory back but the ladies love him and his fragrance, "Definitely Dory"

Steve Blackman's rotating gimmick. Blackman loses a match that has a stipulation where Raven gets to be in charge of his gimmick. Angry at being put in dumb outfits (like the Popeye inspired Cracker Jack or the Clucker where he wears an getup like a mascot for a fried chicken chain) he takes his frustration out on his opponents and goes on a winning streak.
