a gay one. i'm not a homophobe, i'm friends with two gay people, but i wouldn't want people coming up to me in the street and asking me if i was the gay wrestler. unless it was under a mask. i can see "el homo" doing huge business.
or a nazi one, or any kind of racial one, actually.

I would never do anything I find offensive like homosexual angles. I mean, I have a little brother and I don't want him to watch his brother look like a total jackass for doing that angle.

I'd take any goofy gimmick if they said I'd get a follow up, like when Hunter Hearst Helmsley got to play in the big leagues. Hell, I'd do anything that gave me a legacy in wreslting, wrestlecrap or otherwise. |

Wow what gimmick would I not do.....well as John Tenta once said, "If you don't do it the next guy will."
I'm guessing I'd likely do most any gimmick providing the storyline had some sort of full circle effect, like lets take Eugene if I was Eugene and a heal made fun of me that heal would need to see some retribution ie he gets beaten in some way, or Eugene outsmarts the heal.
Sorta a balence, yeah heal did this, but he didn't get away scot free.
That being said if history has taught us anything there are a few issues I think most every wrestler should steer clear of.
-Sex with the dead.
Didn't work well for HHH, that is not gonna work well for anyone.
-Terrorism.
Didn't work well for Husein.
-A character dying.
This REALLY backfired on Vince and the limo.
-Sex with animals.
Mercifully it's only been done as a DX joke the Vince love Cock bit, and not with someone really loving animals. But I could totally see Russo writing that for Jimmy Wang Yang.
-Sex with relatives.
It's creepy. Wasn't this sorta hinted at with Beaver Clevage?
-Rape.
This never worked well with Kane, or Lita. No reason to revisit it again.
Then there are gimmicks that I'd prefer not to do simply from overuse, or out right theft.
-No one should do the bald angry kick ass drinker....Austin did it, and you'll never do it better. This applies to others as well, Hogan, Piper, Savage.....anything close to those gimmicks will automatically be like drinking carreer draino.
-I also would prefer to move away from gimmicks such as Cryme Tyme have.....1st it stinks, 2nd it's a poor image on black youth, 3rd well it stinks. This goes for other overused gimmicks as well, the fat overeating guy....the sneaky Oreintal guy, and so on.
But as I started with, bills have to be paid, so if Vince asks me to be a sterotypical goat molesting, woman raping, mother loving 3rd rate Hogan knock off.....you never know.
