Create a stupid gimmick

Outlandish gimmicks are either fantastically hilarious or hilariously fantastic, but they're usually pretty memorable. After all, who could ever forget these guys:

And let's not forget the greatest character around today, from Planet Funk...

This is what Google gave me when I searched for 'Funkasaurus'

 

 

I want you to come up with similar gimmicks. I'm not expecting the quality of Brodus Clay, because quite frankly, I don't think the Funkasaurus can be toppled from the branches of the Awesome Tree.

 

But if you can come up with something as unusual as the Wrestling Binman, the Wrestling Porn Star, or the Wrestling Vampire, let's do this thing.

 

A short description is great, but if you have PAINT SKILLS then do us all a drawing of your guy.

 

Any aspiring promoters are free to purloin these gimmicks as long as the wrestlers who use them are announced as being "from [place], by way of the UKFF".

 

 

 

My idea:

 

From your local parish church fete.... he is... Tom Bowler.

 

Down he comes to the ring, as church fete brass band music plays (probably the Floral Dance), dressed in full Morris Dancing regalia and brandishing a whiffling stick in one hand and a church roof collection jar in the other, followed by an entourage of local Women's Institute members.

 

In-ring, he's a sneaky bastard, using all kinds of underhanded tactics, and his signature moves, the Coconut Shy (trio of headbutts) and the Bran Tub (kick in the bollocks). If he's struggling, he'll either use the whiffling stick, or one of the WI ladies hands him a jar of homemade jam, which he chucks in the opponent's face, blinding them - provided he can get the jar open.

 

Victories would be followed by a rendition of Jerusalem.

 

 

 

Alright, it's shit, but you'll do better, won't you?

GM does his own ring announcement from the stage ala Mr Kennedy and comes to the ring dressed in a suit and dicky bow. He's accompanied by a midget with a long nose who he pushes to the ring in a wheel barrow. The midget never moves because he isn't real. However, when GM is in trouble, the midget becomes a real boy and clobbers his opponent with a solid oak statue of P.N. News before dashing back to his wheelbarrow and "dying" again.

This is a slightly different setup with it more or less being a variable member gimmick stable headed-up by The Zoo Keeper. He dresses like a zoo keeper and brings in a variety of wrestlers with animal gimmicks including face and body paint to match. Examples could be a bear, a panda, a wolf, a scorpion, a snake, a kangaroo and some members stay a long time, some a short time but there's always new animals being brought in all the time. They can feud with Orton; wolf v viper, tonight on RAW!

I suggested two gimmicks to a friend a while ago.

 

Charlie Chester, who comes to the ring in an ice cream truck, music playing and everything. Hands out lollies to the kids with his number written on the lolly stick. His finisher would be called "Our special secret." It's inappropriate, I'm told.

 

Second would be Anthony Ian Duncan-Smithe. He'd never job, because you can't beat AIDS and his specialty would be a first blood match, because well, nobody would want to take him on.

 

For the record, yes, I'm slightly ashamed of myself, but I came up with these suggesting gimmicks to Fanboy. He'd have got them over.

I'd buy both the t-shirts

 

One saying 'Shhh.' On the front, with 'Its Our Special Secret' on the back

 

The other saying 'You can't keep AIDS down'

El O' El.

 

A failed, surreal comedian. Has turned evil and bitter ever since. Wears a lucha libre mask. Signature moves include the ROFLcopter (airplane spin) and PMSLbow.

 

The other character is a good 'un but I'm not going to say it on here in case anyone pinches it. I might use it if I take up wrestling again.

I've heard that suggested before, years ago. I think it was Anthony Kingdom James at 1PW that came up with it, or it was him that I recall telling the story anyway. I hadn't heard those moves suggested before though- I like PMSLbow! Surely somebody in some smart mark promotion will have already thought of that though!?

Johnny Hollywood:

 

Believes himself to be a world famous director (in reality he's quite a failed indy director with a huge ego), comes to the ring with full clapper board, script and megaphone (all used as weapons) refuses to start matches until he shouts action (in order to be able to land a cheap shot on his opponent)

 

Whenever he loses, throws a tantrum shouting about how 'that wasn't in the script'

 

Generally can fued with somebody who's turned down a role in his movie or somebody he believes shouldn't have the limelight over him.

Ben M Xtreme: The wrestling freestyle cyclist.

 

Special Tribute Star: Comes out dressed as and to the music of a different wrestler every week. Immitates their moves and manorisms. Potentially changes from one wrestler to another as the match progresses.
