1000 Gimmick Ideas for NXT 2.0

[Deleted]

Since they seem to be going full New Generation, drop your ideas below.

1. A 1930s wrestler gimmick with slicked back hair, waist high trunks, no knee pads. All of his matches would be in a black and white filter and his moveset would be really old fashioned moves like The Heart Punch and The Claw.

2. A self help guru who preys on other mens insecurities for financial gain. They could show vignettes of him at seminars with a full crowd of people who treat him like a God.

3. A ventriloquist gimmick.

4. A Norman Bates type gimmick where the guy is clearly a weirdo who's obsessed with his "mom" who also happens to be his manager. He would wrestle in a yellow turtle neck and black leather gloves.

Your turn.

[Heartbreaker]

Since Val Venis has been all over the 1998 Raws I’ve been watching…

5. A porn star. NXT is already so horny, might as well go all in on it.

[Gremlin]

6. A heel wrestling nun. "Each and every one of you people!"

[J is Thunder Justice]

7. Not sure if this has ever been done, but a conspiracy theorist who believes wrestling is fake. He'd come out randomly one time during a match and say stuff like "how did they know the exact time to play my entrance music?" Or he'd claim there was a cameraman backstage filming everything but wouldn't notice the one filming him. He'd claim the matches were fake but then he'd get the shit get kicked out of him, etc.

Not exactly a gimmick, but a storyline I thought of last week:

Waller starts treating Stratton badly, and she gets sympathy from the crowd. Jensen stands up for her and finally gets a date. Segments highlighting the odd couple of the rich, spoiled princess and the aloof country boy Jensen.

A few weeks later, Stratton and Henley show signs of mistrust and this causes some dissention between Jensen and Briggs, which includes failing to win the tag titles.

Jensen and Briggs argue and come to blows. A match is scheduled to let them work it out. Just as it looks like they're about to put it behind them and move on, Stratton low blows Jensen and Briggs beats him down in a major way. Henley, in tears, tries to intervene but Stratton overpowers her and prevents Henley from getting involved.

Jensen realizes the girl who was always there for him was Henley and a feel good love story follows, including a mixed tag fued with Briggs and Stratton - "THE POWER COUPLE".

Yes, I thought out this entire storyline while I mowed the grass, after realizing the name on the lawnmower's motor.

8. Mr Arse - A British Billy Gunn.

[Wieners=$$$]

A gimmick where the individual has 1000 gimmicks. Each week they're something different. One week they're a garbage man. The next, a sadistic clown. The next, a friendly clown with a little clown version of themselves running around. And so on.

An adult baby who wrestles in a diaper.

When's Paul Wight's AEW deal up?

[thegame415]

A Toxic Masculinity gimmick who questions the manhood of his opponents, loves steak, beer and chicks.

[ThankGodForSidJustice]

A love doctor gimmick. I think it would be very useful with a lot of the storylines they've been doing on NXT 2.0. I remember suggesting Drew "The Matchmaker" McIntyre on here a few years back but of course they weren't cool enough to do it.

[Bang Bang Bart]

A guy who’s the “Mayor” of NXT 2.0, but is corrupt because he takes bribes from heel wrestlers.

Ronald McBondald, Criminal Clown Lawyer

16. A 90s sitcom tag team, managed by the cringey Dad who tells really bad Dad Jokes and every promo they cut has really forced delivery and a laughing track at the end of every sentence.

17. A Devils Advocate gimmick. Sean O'Haire done right. Except this time he would be more like Lucifier Morningstar, a manager who manipulates wrestlers who are down on their luck to join him and do bad things.

18. A computer hacker gimmick. He would basically look like Ethan from Watch_Dogs. Call him something like Webb Page or Paige Webb. His finisher? The Error 404.

19. A Buddy Holly singer gimmick.

[Legion]

20. Jezebel, the Undertaker and Kane's little sister. Who is a Hot Topic like Goth girl and friend of Tiffany Stratton.

21. Tiffany Stratton, daughter of Kane.

22. Male prostitute

23. Time traveling samurai

[ppl591]

24. Celebrity chef. But the celebrities are wwe legends and main roster people

25. A critic like avgn or nostalgia critic who critiques others matches

[cassonova]

26. Arm Bar: A wrestler whose goal is to ban wrestlers using their arm during matches. Prior to matches, tries to get their opponent to agree to not use their arms, but before the opponent can answer, BAM! armbar!
