Ted Dibiase Jr. does not have the look or the personality to play his current gimmick. And it's even harder to do so, when your father did it 10 times better than you.

Jay Lethal seems very bland since he stopped doing the Flair and Savage impressions. He doesn't have to go back to one of does gimmicks, just something that doesn't make him seem so boring.

Brian Kendrick has an awful gimmick IMO. He has good mic skills and in ring ability but he sits down in the ring before a match and meditaties, it makes me embarresed to be a wrestling fan.

They're the first 3 that come to mind.

John Morrison has amazing ability and looks but he needs to redo his gimmick, so how we do this:
1. Manager - Melina
2. Morph his looks and attire with Ravishing Rick Rude & HBK gimmicks.
3. New name - Johny ''Suave'' Morrison
4. New finisher - Rename the Rude Awakening, " The JOMO's MOJO"
5. His new T-Shirts will be hot sellers - " Got JOMO ", " I Got MOJO by JOMO'', " JOMO Has MOJO", and many more.
6. He will be more entertaining as a lover boy or Rico suave type and it will work well as a heel or face even as a tweener.
7. Melina is great on the mic and she is bilingual and can say some hot perverted stuff in Spanish & English.

This type of gimmick may get him over and jump start him into the main event where he belongs.

I actually went looking for this thread after reading some Tough Enough reviews. While reading said reviews, I remembered someone, and remembered a gimmick I thought for him way back when that I'd like to share with you guys today.

His name is Maven.

Let's say for arguments sake WWE brings back Maven. Maven doesn't really do much. Maybe a few matches on Superstars. Eventually, Maven gets a big match on Raw against (insert mid carder here).

So (insert mid carder here) is in the ring. Maven's music plays, but he's nowhere to be seen. Immediately, cameras catch up with Maven at the concessions stand, buying a slurpee. "Maven! Maven!" says the cameraman. "You have a match right now, Maven!

Immediately, Maven panics and starts running, but he trips over something. Maybe a garbage can, or a small child. Maven lands headfirst through the glass siding of a popcorn machine. Sound familiar?

Later that night, Triple H is cutting a promo. Halfway through, there seems to be a disturbance in the entryway. Maven is fighting through referees and security. Eventually, Maven blasts through, and goes right after Triple H. Somehow, Maven throws Triple H over the top rope. Maven then celebrates like no one has ever seen, and points out to the crowd, roughly top side of the arena, but nobody can see what he's pointing at.

In a following interview, Matt Striker asks Maven why he's so wiled up. Maven looks dumbfounded by the question.

"Wouldn't you celebrate the biggest win of your life? It wasn't easy. Doctors wanted to keep me in the back, but I couldn't allow that. I was never eliminated. After I eliminated Undertaker, he came after me like a sore loser. Undertaker thought he could crush Maven. Crush Maven's dreams, and chances. But no. Maven came back! Maven eliminated Undertaker! Maven came back and eliminated Triple H! Maven just won the 2002 Royal Rumble!"

Maven then spends the rest of his career thinking that it's somewhere between Royal Rumble 2002 and Wrestlemania X8, and that he's going to face Chris Jericho for the Undisputed Championship. Also, he jobs a lot. And hopefully, refers to himself in the third person or uses his name out of context a lot, because Maven.

Crimson has been in TNA for what you could call a little while now, and for a while he was actually pretty relevant. He was inserted right in the middle of the whole Fortune and Immortal thing for a while, but has seemed to be once more forgotten about. It is something the company seems to do regularly but the man's a beast and I feel like he shouldn't fall under the same fate, he's too talented of a big man to have that happen to him. You could also say the same sorta thing has happened to Amazing Red, but then again, he has never really stayed for a lengthy amount of time anyways. So this way, you're pushing Crimson up and you're again finding a way to include Red for at least a little while. Now here is my plan and hopefully you at least somewhat like it!

1. Red gets a couple matches, just to make him somewhat relevant again. He'll face off against guys like Chris Sabin or Max Buck but he'll lose and he'll lose bad. He'll get quite the beating each time but right after the bell rings, Crimson marches down to the ring. The first time he simply either scares his brothers opponent off or he literally ejects them out of the ring, and he does the same the second time but he doesn't leave so quick. He instead grabs a mic and says stuff like "What happened? You used to win." and "You're a disgrace to our family, I can't even believe I'm related to you." but finishes it off with "Even I could do better in the X Division. And I'll even show you." He leaves it at that, and leaves with a smile on his face, just enough to keep people guessing.

2. Next week, you get Crimson versus Jeremy Buck or some other sorta weak X Division wrestler and he crushes the poor guy. He just runs through him, to some crazy boo's from the iMPACT! Zone. He says no more, just points at the lifeless body of whoever he squashed and points to the camera, a message to his dear brother. He continues this for a while, through whatever PPV, and eventually he's caught the attention of the guys in the back. Hulk and Bischoff come out after one of his matches, and Hogan tells him that he loves his drive and if he wants a X Division title shot, he's got it. He just has to beat his brother at the upcoming PPV for that shot, and he does, putting him on the shelf in the process. He'll then have no obstacles and you've got a clear feud with whoever is holding the belt at that time. It gets him a heck of a lot more heat, a lot more television time and I got the idea from the similar thing Nash did ages ago. Except this time he won't mysteriously get a neck injury and, yeah, we don't need to discuss that. From here he could go many ways and it is just something that needs to happen because he has nothing to build on and other than Immortal/Fortune, he has no relevance right now.
