Has there been an Egyptian gimmick in WWE? Mummy, Pharaoh, Moses?? There might've been a mummy on ECWs first few eps but I mean regularly.

I wanna say Alex Shelley, for his paparazzo gimmick, but I think he did more videotaping than photography. |

Faarooq Asad was sort of Egyptian at first. Or what was he, anyway?

I want to see a gimmick where a manager is a mad scientist and has his own stable of wrestler clones.
Like Fake Diesel and Razor taken to a whole new level.

Ones I haven't seen yet:
North Korean sympathizer/Kim Jong-Il loyalist. Of course anti-American gimmicks have been done over the decades, but surprised nobody has attempted this one.
Soccer hooligans.
A Larry David type wrestler who lacks social graces and it ends up getting him in trouble a lot.
A twitter junkie who actually tweets during his match.

I really want to see some sort of Power-Ranger stable, but I think they heyday of that has passed.
As for other gimmicks, I think either an Anarchist or Hipster gimmick could legitimately get over, if given to a wrestler charismatic enough.

I actually created a Hipster character in SvR 2011 and named him Helvetica... He never went beyond the midcard.  |

An Air Force gimmick? I think Evan Bourne would slide into that well.
An otaku?
A brony?

body dysmorphic disorder where a 6'6+ giant thinks he's only 5'7 and wrestles like a cruiserweight. He also cuts promos about overcoming the odds and stuff like Mysterio or Bourne.

A jazz musician wrestler with a really annoying saxophone melody that starts off his music. He could come out with a little mic on a sax and play his own theme, really getting into it, culminating when he gets to the ring and starts wailing/shrieking/honking on the sax unmercifully until his opponent's music hits, undoubtedly giving them the pop of the night.
His name?
Thelonious Ellington.

I still want to see someone work an IWC fanboy gimmick. Obviously playing to the negative stereotypes, i.e. every match/segment is the worst ever unless he's in it, he badmouths people for not having workrate, constantly talks about how Johnny Ace is a great wrestler because he wrestled in Japan, etc. Combine Punk and Michael Cole. |

Didn't Miz already tweet a pic of Cena having his face pushed into the steel cage? Anyway, how about a porn star gimmick... oh, hang on. |

We do now sorta have our IWC gimmick with Punk, but before that I thought of an indy-style super smark called Ian William Charles. Calls wrestlers by their real names during interviews, tells Cena to add to his five moves of doom, says American wrestling sucks etc. |
