ok, i mentioned this in another thread, but now i'm curious.
i am a pro wrestler. my uncle is also a pro wrestler. does that make me a second generation wrestler?
the only reason i really ask is because i am looking for new things to incorporate into my gimmick. this could help out. i know that when guys dads were wrestlers they refer to them as second generation, but i can't recall them refering to rey rey as second generation, even though his gimmick was passed on from his uncle.
so what do you guys think?

Eh...I guess you could count it. Being a first generation wrestler I don't have this "problem." I don't think anyone would really have a problem with it.

Maybe part of your gimmick should be claiming that you've got a lot of wrestling uncles, and then list a bunch of them (my Uncle Kamala, my Uncle Backlund, my Uncle Nash, my Uncle Hogan). Add more names each time, but always end with "MY DAD....Bill from accounting."

Isn't Rey Misterio Jr. billed as second generation even though his dad never wrestled, it was his uncle who was the original?

I guess it counts.The Rock had uncles who were wrestlers along with his grandpa,and he was counted as third generation.

That's what confused me about him at first.He is both second and third generation wrestler. |

Why refer to his as DeWayne? I know first names too, go us huh?
Anyhow, yeah, if you indeed carry the family name your uncle had, I think you'd be second generation.

This isn't going to become a "Damn the Rock" thread now, is it?

Plus I don't like him. Actually, I think he wants to be Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, since that's how he spells his first name. |

I like the uncles gimmick, but i would leave "2nd generation" for fathers & sons. yeah, i've been thinking alot about it, and i think i know what i'm gonna do. right now i'm working a classic "big guy who waxs up anyone in his path" kinda gimmick, which works well enough since i'm 6'3" 320lbs. but i've been really working hard in the ring lately, getting in better shape and using the fact that i'm unusually quick and agile for a guy my size. i'm also getting more mic time now, because the promoter i've been working for discovered i could talk after a year of not allowing me to say anything. so i think a slight gimmick change is in order. i think i'm gonna work a sorta tazz meets cm punk type gimmick, where i will continue to just wreck people, but also talk about how i'm better than everyone else because of my "family history in the buisness." what do you guys think? |
