now i know about all the other racial stereotypes out there that the E still insisnts on throwing at us...but rather than seing the usal types i wouldnt mind WWE proving they arnt still in the 1900's and showing not all russains are communists...not all british people are posh snobs..most japenese CAN speak english..and CANT perform every single martial arts.
I mean why not create a british stereotype thats more like a guy richie movie style gangster..or a hooded chav going aroud bullying people..these stereotypes are more associable with britain today and would make a nice change 2 everyone being a lord or king.
Would you introduce anymore modern stereotypes?

They have a Japanese Redneck now so they are going in that direction.

The majority of the American audience may well not be familiar with 'chavs'. I'd say the Guy Ritchie British gangster mould would be a better fit, but everyone loves a posh, rich British snob to shout abuse at, so it works for me.

If you recall they were/are thnking about bring Paul Burchall back as a footy hooligan. Which really wouldnt work on its own, the whole hooligan lifestyle is about that mob mentallity and a good numbered stable would be needed to make this work.

They need a "goth" or "trenchcoat" gimmick that will look more scary than cheesy. Raven paved the way, they just need to finish the job. Then again, with the recent school shootings that probably won't happen.
They also had a modern gimmick with Hassan...then they started using the "beheading" references and the guys in ski masks and that idea went to hell.

How about a soldier back from war who's disilusioned about america and society. As long as they don't turn him into "Rambo", it could work with the right mic skills.

I'd love to see a sterotypical anime chartacter who shoots pyrotechnics at people DBZ style.
He titantron could be him with his mouth open while he stands still with the background moving at the speed of light ala Speed Racer.

I want to see an Evil Foreginer stable that is actually called "The Evil Foreigners" made up solely of obviously american born wrestlers who dress up like outdated stereotypes of other nationalities and speak in awful accents

A Japanese Narcississt/bishonen who looks at mirrors, and obssesses over his own looks.
A Japanese mechanic type guy who is obssessed with cars, and negates those who say Asians can't drive.
A Filipino who always likes to act "cool", but doesn't seem to get over.

Here's where I thought they were going with Hassan at first. I thought he really was going to be a tweener where he would give an super sincere face promo about being proud to be a hardworking arab American and oportunity blah blah blah and then when Davari translated it would sound like an angry, hate filled rant THAT would actually be clever and funny and not pandering to the lowest common denominator, so of course it didn't happen

A stable made up of angy minorities, just like LAX. The stable should play up a stereotype, maybe that of thugs, like LAX. Then they should feud with an all white stable, like the Nation.

If only more people in Britain were still like the sterotypical snob the outside world thinks the British are like, instead of the truth in that awful chav gimmick.

Obviously if WWE were to actually do that, they'd throw English, Irish, and Scottish guys all into the same stable, citing that "they're all the same, nobody will know the difference".

Hey, you guys have a pretty good sterotype, you're obnoxious but well-spoken and intelligent. I'm from f***in' New Jersey. AND I'm Italian. I get saddled with the mobster stereotype, plus, I have to deal with everyones general hatred of Jersey.
