Alright... I have two great gimmick ideas for two future WWE Superstars... don't think they'll turn the company around, but here goes.
The first guy is known as Inverter, basically he has the charismatic personality of the Rock combined with the speed and quickness of X-Pac, and of course, the power of A-train... which isn't that great, but still impressive.
His catchphrase would be... " I will... turn you... insideeeeeeeee out! "
Then here's a guy who would make a great heel.
His name is Darkslide, he's not a rip off of the Undertaker like he sounds.
Darkslide wears a metal ( Well not real metal ) face mask that covers up his entire face and has long white hair that reaches down to his neck. Basically, his gimmick is he is very disturbed and angry at everyone, kind of like the new Kane, but with a hint of Undertaker thrown in for that dark persoanlity. He would have the power of the Big Show, though his speed would be average at best.
So... what do you guys think? Good or Wrestlecrap?

Those could work, as long as they had good storylines and not crappy ones.
I was afraid that "The Inverter" was going to be a guy with inverted nipples. I guess Vince Russo's booking has scarred me forever!

Not bad ideas I guess, I have long waited for a wrestler named Richard Cranium or have a guy named Ben Laden, or say that Chris Benoit is taking a trip to the International Space Station then put a mask on him and call him "the Wrestler." Any one of those ideas will save wrestling no doubt. If nothing else they would provide serious comedy.  |

I want to see a wrestlign serial killers - they could hire jobbers to lose matches to him and be ragged off afterwards in bodybags, never to be seen again.
Either that, or a homosexual evil wrestling clown from outer space who who molests young boys and has to constantly remind anyone listening that everythign he says is a shoot comment. Yeah, Russo would love that...

how about Bread Man. he would walk down to the ring throwing bread to the crowd. constantly shouting i am Bread Man. after each match he would shove bread down their throats (ala Million Dollar Man).
his vignettes could be him stocking the store shelves with the bread. it would be the greatest thing ever.

I've always wanted to see a character based on the movie "Falling Down"...a guy who got fed up with the rat race, went crazy, and turned to violent hardcore wrestling to serve his needs.

Chris P. Lettuce, The Vegetarian. A self-righteous hippy character who'd come out and berate wrestlers and fans for eating meat, and would wear a WWF(World Wildlife Fund) T-Shirt, and beat people by hitting them with Turnips....

Basically its a Mr. Champion gimmick. It would involve a comedic heel who starts wearing old, discontinued belts from old promotions and then claims he's the repective champion even though all of them are long dead. When asked how precisely he got these championships he claims that:
A) He won it in a tournement, even though there was no one who witnessed it, nor was it taped.
B) He won it in a battle royale, despite the fact he can't name any other wrestlers who were in it.
Or C) He was the number one contender for the title when the previous champion vacated it and it was awarded to him, but wasn't in the promotion the title was in, nor did the last champion even vacate it.
It gets to the point where he's carrying 8 or so dead titles to the ring, forcing the ring announcer to name him the champion of each one, and taking a ridiculous amount of time taking the belts off and putting them back on.
The backstage segments would be great.
Wrestler A: Man, would you stop it with this title nonsense, people think you're a damn joke.
Mr. Champion: Oh I see, you're just jealous that you're not the AWA Television, FTW, WCCW, Million Dollar, SMW, USWA Southern, WCW Six-Man champion; (whipping out a trophy) and winner of the Crockett cup.
Whenever he loses a match, he quickly gets on the mic and explains that none of his titles were on the line. He eventually does end up losing all of them in one match to a confused face, who claims that he doesn't want any of them.
The heel meanwhile then challenges the him to a winner take all match, because he (the heel) does have one title to put on the line. That's right, the WCW Women's Cruiserweight Championship! When asked how he can hold it even though he's not a woman nor a crusierweight, he shrugs: "Champion's perogative."

"Mr. Champion" can claim he won all the belts in Buenes Aires or Puerto Rico, where all the phantom title changes occur.
My idea was originally posted under the Rene Dupree repackaging thread. The gimmick is the wrestler is a fashion critic, ala Joan Rivers. He would critique wrestlers in airports/as they come out of the limosines on the way to the arena, "Hey boys, did anyone tell you fanny packs were never in style?" He'd come out to interrupt Paul London matches, "Hey Paul, the fringed boots went out of style with the Ultimate Warrior and the '80s." He could also just cut a promo in the ring and rip on the fashion sense of the fans in the arena, which we know wouldn't be too hard to do.

It would be cool if they mafde a wrestling character based on Zangeif from Street Fighter 2. A Russian 265 pound guy with a Mr. T haircut whjo does spinning clotheslines, hard suplexs, and spinning piledrivers. Question is, who would sue WWE first? Capcom or Mr. T?

Wrestlecrap....most masked wrestlers who are booked as being unstoppable or have some sort of chip on their shoulder hardly ever get over. And if you could get some sort of hybrid version of Prince Albert Waltman...then that would be ok, nevertheless it isn't that easy coming up with a gimmick and trying to get it over. Trust me when I say it is much more common to fail with something than to get it across.

I had an idea a while back as a sorta 'permenent guest ref' and it would be a great gimick for stone cold actually. Basically have a feared ref. IE a guy that could be a wrestler with rules such as "if your manager jumps on the apron, i'll beat him up, then eject him" ect. A ref that would pay attention to stuff on the jumbo tron ect.
The idea came to me as a great way to deal with heal characters and make for big time main events. "Tripple H, you've pissed me off for the last time. Next week(or ppv) you'll be facing benoit! and ********* will be the ref!"

ok here are a couple. First you have a heel like HHH as the hevyweight champion who has 2 bodyguards that follow him around. Not any old bodyguards but they would be Viscera and Mark Henry repackaged as two personal bodyguards that would follow him around and interfere in his matches and basically take care of his business. Both of them would walk around and wear lavish suits and dark shades and would even wrestler in them. In addition Viscera should go back to Mabel or Nelson (real name) shave his head bald. HHH or the heel champion would refer to them as "his protection" and basically they would go by the name of Protection. The great catchphrase would be for HHH to say "I don't go anywhere or do anything without Protection.
The second is a lawyer/wrestler by the name of Allen Legalwitz. Basically he could start out as the attorney for someone like a heel Y2J and argue on his behalf that his client is being mistreated and therefore he is threatning legal action against the wwe. He could also threaten the other wrestlers with assualt and other baseless suits. In addition he would find loopholes in the rules and with contracts and use them to his advantage. Eventually he could be a wrestler and use his legal skills to his own advantage. Think of him as a modern day IRS.
