Oh just do the Beaver Cleavage gimmick again minus the Cleavage.

Just because of that problem, I'd like to see it be a modified way to both "nurture" the fact the audience would likely relate to them, but also sneak through the real message that would need to be said (and never does throughout it):
The biggest problem with that behavior is that the happy ending is always seen as "the loser gets the girl of their dreams and they presumably live happily ever after", and this has led to the expectations for it.
Meanwhile, we know that the audience would presumably relate to the guy, and it's more likely if the girl rejects the guy, the fans would turn the girl into a mega-heel (see the Eve/Ryder end result.)
Conclusion: The face in this form would be the tradtional "nice guy" and goes after a heel Diva. He does get the girl. She then proceeds to treat the guy like dirt afterwards as he continues to act the same way. As it goes through, the girl makes it clear that no, the guy can't do better than her- she's all he's wanted, he should be grateful that she treats him like crap. Meanwhile, some face Diva is interested, but he's as oblivious to her feelings as he was to the original girl's feelings [and possibly some other guy is in the same boat with that Diva.]
You probably can't market that gimmick, but with wrestling never ending, you can probably market the real message that would need to be said: Maybe the girl you want isn't the girl you NEED- and if you spend too much time dwelling on her, you'll never notice the one who's right for you.

I remember having a thought about this awhile back; like, having two "nice guy" characters, one who's an oblivious entitled jerk who thinks he's owed something for being "nice", and another who IS a genuinely decent guy, but doesn't know how to stand up for himself outside of an organized wrestling match. Genuinely decent guy has a female wrestler he works with and clearly has a crush on, the woman doesn't really pick up on the hints, she winds up going on a couple of dates with the entitled jerk, the genuinely nice guy overreacts and turns heel for awhile...don't know where I'd go from there. Like, the woman winds up not liking the jerk pretty quickly, but now the guy who was actually nice is a heel, blah blah blah. Basically just writing a character tragedy, I guess. wouldn't the entitled one be the one to throw a fit and turn heel when the girl doesn't like him?
