Doudrop reveals WWE gimmick Vince McMahon Initially pitched for her: "It was really funny because he wanted me to come out and dance. One day I got backstage and he goes, ‘goddamnit, I see you out there shaking your ass all afternoon, why can’t you do it out there?’" www.wrestlinginc.com/news/2022/02/doudrop-reveals-wwe-gimmick-vince-mcmahon-initially-pitched-her/Someone needs to explain to me that after I've seen..Akeem the African Dream, Brodus Clay, Tensai (at one point), Rikishi, Viscera (World's Largest Love Machine i think), Great Khali (at some points)..why Vince McMahon is really into seeing heavy people dance. |

Vince, could you not be a parody of yourself and actually pitch a dancing gimmick for larger people?
Our job is to imply that you do it and you don’t actually do it!

This company BTS has become so insane it is almost too magical too believe.
I am waiting on the reveal that Veer is dating Stephanie and that HHH and her have been divorced for years and now Veer is in line to take over the company.

Boy are the comments on that site awful. Why did I read them? I don't know why I saw this and decided to go hunt down the comments, but when I did the page loaded one of those 'we're going to redirect this whole tab' ads for World of Tanks and for that I am eternally grateful the probably-virus site spared me. |

Vince LOVES the “dancing fat person” gimmick. And no, I’m not saying Piper is fat. But WWE gave her that name for a reason.
Vince has the sense of humor of an immature 12 year old.

Vince: "Goddammit I see you playing with yourself when you're in the shower, why can't you do it out there?"
Austin Theory: "What?"

Augh... This is so close to being good advice that its frustrating.
I feel at the core of it, what he's trying to say is something to the effect of "you're so fun and charismatic back here so just channel that out there and you'll be great" as a way to motivate her but it just comes across so poorly.
It's basically the same "gotta make some changes and be you" promo he cut on Keith as well where it makes sense what he's saying but the way he says it just doesn't come across good at all (especially in hindsight).

It's really funny to hear shit that vindicates the literal memes people spew on the internet
"In about a month that serious hoss is gonna be dancing around because Vince likes dancing fat people" lmfao
It's really weird how Doudrop was the inverse of the gimmick though, she started out as the dancing hoss, THEN she became super serious heel... While still being named DOUDROP...

If I was stuck in catering, I'd pitch a gimmick that's an amalgam of everything Vince seems to love.

What this really shows is that Vince is a very at face value guy...he sees you joyful and dancing that is your gimmick he wants you to translate out there. And nothing else. It shows he doesn't understand actual character...like he sends her out there to smile and dance ok...aaaaaaaaaand? Vince: AND WHAT?. It is the samething with Damien Priest he likely heard the name and thought oh..you're good AND evil go translate that out to the audience. There is nothing wrong with simplyfing things but this also results in him changing things because he himself has to understand it instead of just listening to his audience this was already pointed out it is what HHH was really good with (not perect mind you) in his NXT. |

I’d love to see Doudrop shake her ass. Just not in the way Vince wants her to.

I love that anecdote of “I see you shaking your ass all day!”
Lol oh my god.
“Goddamn it Doudrop. I see you sitting around the house all day! Why can’t you sit AROUND the house?!”

Vince- Hey, what's your name again?
Doudrop- Piper Niven, sir
Pritchard- (snickering) that's the one we're calling Doudrop
Vince- (snickering into hysterical laughter) shake your ass out there like you do back here.
Doudrop- Um, yes sir....
(Loud sounds of shouting) & Shane runs in the room
Shane- All of you are terrible, I'll go out and do the ass shaking. I'm the one people are paying to see.
Everyone else leaves...

Wendy Choo reveals the NXT gimmick Vince McMahon pitched for her: "It was really funny because he wanted me to come out and fall asleep. One day I got backstage and he goes, ‘goddamnit Io, I see you napping all afternoon, why can’t you do it out there?’"

The most disturbing thing about this whole thing is the implication that Vince just hangs out and watches his wrestlers during their free time.
Imagine if your boss followed you around after work or on your day off.

Saw someone say this elsewhere, but this comes off a bit as the "Jedi mind tricks" of Vince that Moxley talked about.
Like, "you show personality back here, show it out there!" isn't automatically bad advice, there's an air of "be yourself" about that and things that can be of use to some wrestlers.
But...Jesus Christ, half this guy's history with bigger people is "go out and dance, it's funny!", and it's impossible to shake the feeling he was just trying to find a way to say that diplomatically instead of just telling her outright.
