Which Current gimmicks would be over in the 80s?

[wildojinx]

Which current gimmicks can you see being over in the 80s? My guesses are MVP (would probably be managed by slick), big daddy v (another fat guy for hogan to squash), boogeyman (though probably as a heel), jimmy wang yang (lost hillbilly cousin?), Matt Stryker (kids will always hate teachers), cade and murdoch, the highlanders, umaga, and maybe john morrison

[The Ichi]

Pretty much any gimmick that isn't PG13.

[bubbles]

John Cena if he was painted orange.

[Funkyjumbo]

Boogeyman

Also that old fellow who yells patriotic stuff at the crowd whilst carrying that plank of wood, I reckon he'd be a real hit back then

[Mr Captain Falcon]

Chris Masters.

[krazysane]

kane. a big huge evil guy that likes to play with fire. often makes deals with the devil and often fullfills the devils wishes on to the earth

[Cranjis McBasketball]

The Undertaker.

I doubt him debuting a mere 10 months earlier would have changed much about his career.

[Lenny: Smooth like Keith Stone]

Deuce and Domino. Their gimmick screams 1980's.

Well OK it screams 1950's, but they would have done it in the 80's.

[Mr Captain Falcon]

The Hurricane. Bobby Lashley. Finlay would have been a MAJOR heel. JBL. There's plenty of things that would have worked back then.

Can you imagine if they did gimmicks like Rated R Edge or MNM back then (Granted, by the time period, something like MNM would never exist, but Rated R Edge certainlywould.)? That'd be an instant "red light of death" for them.

Well, they DID have Rick Rude. Although his gimmick wasnt THAT extreme, it still was an obviously sexual gimmick.

[Mozenrath]

The novelty of Mr. Kennedy's mic would be largley lost on them.

[The F'N Captain]

Khali would be HUGE over. Mark Henry, especially if they literally painted a silver stripe on his back and gave him King Kong like music.

.....They should actually do that right now.

Well, more like give him tights like Hennig, except the black part on the back would be silver.

Hornswoggle

[longdogga]

hell yes little bastard

Yeah, PG-13 would never get over. That tag team sucked.

The novelty of Mr. Kennedy's mic is largely lost on ME.

[Steveweiser]

Psycho Mickie would have got the whole world talking in the 80s - a woman? Wanting to have sex with another woman? BOO THIS GIRL!

[NiceToKnowMe]

Khali would be mega over. Seriously so.
