Let's face it, Paul Burchill is going nowhere now. He's flailing between brands, he has no storyline, he's pretty much been doing nothing.
I got an idea for what the WWE can do with him.
It starts off by showing Paul Burchill getting dressed in his lockeroom. He puts on his tights and goes to put on his knee pads lets say and suddenly pulls out...a PIRATE SWORD! Burchill freaks out and tosses it into the garbage, shaking his head and asking "How did THAT get here?".
Next week, Burchill is dressing up again and looks into the mirror when he freaks out again. The camera pans to show Paul Burchill dressed as a pirate IN THE MIRROR but Burchill is not actually dressed as a pirate. He freaks out and screams at the mirror "NO! GET AWAY! I'M DONE WITH YOU! LEAVE ME AT PEACE!". At this moment Katie Lea walks in and looks confused as Paul Burchill is freaking out over the mirror...but now we don't see the pirate there anymore!
Next week Burchill has a match where he loses by suddenly falling to the mat like something hit him when no one did. His confused opponent pins him for the easy 1-2-3 and Katie Lea confronts him backstage about it. She asks Burchill whats going on and he says that "HE" is haunting him again!
It turns out Burchill is haunted by a spirit of his pirate ancestor that wont leave him at peace unless he "pays tribute" to him by playing him in the ring but Burchill doesn't want to. This can develop into Paul going more and more crazy every week as he refuses the spirit's advances.
What do you think?

I think moving him to ECW was a good idea. I wouldn't mind them doing something a bit closer to his "Ripper" character in OVW, too. Start him out wrestling guys like Ortiz and Bourne, maybe have Katie Lea hang out with Miz/Morrison and have them use Paul has hired muscle. Something.

Only if they get the pirate ancestor to eventually be played or at least voiced by Jackson Publick from The Venture Brothers. "If ya played by the rules..... THE GHOST PIRATE RULES!!!" umm no anything that involves "magic mirrors" and "us" being able to see things that the person lookin in the mirror can but no one else seemed to work welll with Warrior right Didn't something like that also happen during the Taker/Orton feud in 05 on Smackdown? Yeah. Randy and his dad were backstage, and as Randy was talking he turned to his dad and he was covered in blood.....but another pan of the camera revealed he was fine. ....to be fair, I liked both of those instances. And really, if you're going that far already to do a "Burchill haunted by ghost pirate" angle, drawing the line at magic mirrors is a bit odd. |

I love it.
Although the "magic mirror" part could be skipped over.

No, and seriously no offense but why you ever post wacky ideas for angles, are you writer or something?

I'd rather see them team up Burchill with The Empire and have them run a stereotypical British hooligans theme. Wait for a face to be left alone in the ring, they run in from the crowd, hit a few moves and then run away from where they came. As it plays out, reveal that Regal is paying them off to do his dirty work.

I think they should bring up Drew Mcyntire and Sheamus O Shaunssey from FCW and do a foriegn stable with perhaps King William Regal as the leader.

They can have a special UK Street Fight to determine who gets to be "The Pride Of The United Kingdom" on the PPV, that would be cooler than just "Oh, we are together because we come from the same country". |

"A stereotypical British what?"
Hooligan, its the word used for a boy/guy who just likes to cause trouble and fight, generally apart of a gang
"Sheamus O'Shaunessy isn't from the UK"
Neither was Roddy Piper

For the record I would like to see Paul Birchill using a previous gimmick that got him over big time, only I would revert back to the Ripper gimmick, I think it was in OVW that he used it to great effect, he also needs to be allowed to bring back the C4 as his finisher, as soon as I realised that head stomp was going to be his finisher I knew instantly he was never going to get much of a chance, while its a move that looks devastating and would legitimately hurt, its not a big time wrestling move that will ever get you over

I got it, and I think Birchill is the kind of wrestler who can pull this off.
It involves him leaving TV for awhile to let the half dozen or so people who still think about him time to forget him.
6 months or so he comes back through a series of vignettes claiming that he's the man the *Sports entertainment industry has been waiting for and an immediate World Champion.
He cuts promos when whomever the champ is in the ring saying the belt belongs to him and is told by Stephanie McMahon he has to wrestle. He says absolutly not, not until he has a world title match.
He forfeits all his non title matches leading to one of the McMahon spawn saying they're sick of him wasting TV time, he has his title shot tonight, but if he loses hes fired.
He gets in a match against the Intercontental champ and wins the match.. Holds the title and Lillian says..
"And the NEW INTERCONTENENTAL CHAMPION..... Paul Burchill!!"
Burchill stares in shocked awe and looks at the title. he thought it was a WWE title match and not an Intercontental title match. He throws the title down and runs out the rings looking back somewhat scared at the title.
He cuts vignettes where hes curled up in a ball in the lockerroom with the IC title hanging. He says that by becoming the IC champ he's soiled himself by winning an inferior title.
It haunts him
And for whatever reason he just cant lose the title. He tries every week only to have fortune keep the title on him... He's the IC Champ for a record 24 months and hates every minute of it.
During those 24 months his relationship with the IC title can change, I hhavent booked it that far yet.
