Heavens Vibe

Pre-Show Stalwart
So, reccently I've seen people complain alot about creative not pushing the right people *Cough* Zack Ryder *Cough* *Hint* Push the guy! *Hint* and making silly or boring story lines/gimmicks.

Well, nows your chance! Create a short Gimmick description for any wrestler on the current roster, you can use the template below for a bit of help.

Wrestler:

Brand:

Face/Heel:

Role/Title:

Enemies/Feuds:

Allies:

Story behind character:



Heres mine.


Wrestler: John Morrison

Brand: Smackdown

Face/Heel: Face

Role/Title: Intercontinental title

Enemies/Feuds: Wade Barrett

Allies: None

Story behind character: Wade Barret is going on a war path taking out wrestlers who show little to no signs of aggresion. He attack John and leaves him injured. John comes back and adopts a similar style to Bret The Hitman Hart and shows aggression to overcome Wade Barret with brutal and devestating moves that still create entertainment and becomes the new intercontinental champion, and continues to show a bit more ruthlessness in the ring, but out the ring, hes a loveable cool long haird geezer :D
 
Wrestler: Tyler Black

Brand: Smackdown

Face/Heel: Heel

Role/Title: No Tital

Enemies/Feuds: Fueds with Rey Mysterio

Allies: Nobody, lone ranger

Story behind character: Tyler Black debuts as a twisted and sinister heel who enjoys to hurt people. He brutally attacks members of Smackdown roster such as Masters and Kofi. Then finally he destroys Rey Mysterio. And their fued builds from there.
 
Wrestler: Kane

Brand: SmackDown

Face/Heel: Face

Role/Title: World Heavyweight

Enemies/Feuds: Feuds with Alberto Del Rio

Allies: Big Show

Story behind character: Kane gets a BIG push prior to his eventual retirement as a main eventing face who is feuding with Alberto Del Rio who's just won the World Heavyweight title at Extreme Rules, faces him in a lot of non-title matches and also tag matches partnering with Big Show against ADR and Brodus Clay, until Kane calls out ADR and challnges him for the title at the next PPV in an Inferno match, where Kane gets badly burned but wins the match and the title, his burns however, warrant him going back to his masked persona.
 
Wrestler: CM Punk

Brand: Raw

Face/Heel: Heel

Role/Title: No Title Role deranged lunatic

Enemies/Feuds: Fueds with anyone

Allies: Group of thugs

I've actually kind of taken this idea from some stuff someone said not to long ago about the Doink character so apologies if that was you. I'd love to see CM Punk totally snap mentally and turn into a Doink/Joker type character. It can start slowly with maybe just a bit of him talking to himself/wearing strange make up whatever and slowly descend into full blown madness. He'd have to have a group of guys kind of like the Nexus who were basically just thugs. All big guys who would beat people down but stupid enough they could be outsmarted by the faces. Then you would just have him dealing out random attacks on anyone. One week it can be a jobber the next week the World Champ before finally someone can rise up and take him down.
 
Wrestler: Brodus Clay new name Tsunami (it can be anything other than Brodus Clay)
Brand: Both
Face/Heel: Heel
Role/Title: Destruction
Enemies/Feuds: All the Faces

Allies:Michael Cole (manager so he does not have to speak)


Story behind character: After being ADR's slave and enforcer Clay becomes angry and goes to Cole and asks him to manage him. Clay then goes on a 3 month destruction on both Raw and Smackdown. Not only is he destroying the people he wants to by beating them to near death, but the ones Cole wants him to beat up like Lawler, SCSA, and JR. Clay does this for months not only drawing heat but also attention from some of the faces. On one episode of Raw he attacks Cena it is so brutal that they write Cena off of TV for like 2 months stating he was injured. They put up an address where you can send in you get well wishes for him (the kids will eat this up and it gets him off of tv for a little while) While Cena is out Clay takes on Orton, Christian, and all the faces going over each one of them. You have Cole stating that there is no one left in WWE that can beat him then you hear the distinctive Cena theme and out he comes still bandaged up from his beat down 2 months earlier stating not only did he have some broken ribs and couldn't stand what he has seen since he has been in the hospital, but he is going to rip him apart. Cole interrupts stating that Clay already beat him so there is no match. Cena grabs Cole and with all the hatred in him says yes there is because i was jumped by your guy and by the way Cole you come in this match you will get yours too. They do a Steel Cage Match so Cole can't interfere in the match. Let Cena win this match and Clay can now go onto Monster heel status and every face he beat down can feud with him now for revenge. So this continues to allow Miz to have other matches with other people for the title and keeps Cena from the title and gives him a good feud and now we can use this super angry Cena instead of Superman Cena too.
 
Hey guys! First time posting, but I have been enjoying this site for 10 years.

Wrestler: The Immaculate Connection (I picture two Simon Dean-type heels. Harmless, but people hate them...comedic value)

Brand: Either

Face/Heel: Heel

Role/Title: I would say Tag Team, but my hopes of regaining that division's significance are dwindling....

Enemies/Feuds: Santino/Kozlov to start (but mainly Santino to add to the comedic value)

Allies: An equally obnoxious manager that towels/wipes them off.

Story behind character: These guys are a "real" tag team here to win the belts and bring significance back to the titles. They would be good, sound, technical wrestlers; but, they would be neat freaks...to comedic levels. They would lock up with a wrestler and then back off because he is sweaty and run outside to have their manager waiting with a towel to wipe them off and then apply sanitizer or something. When one guy gets slammed or hit, he can run over to the other to see if his hair is still ok.

I am old school and liked the days where there was a place for this (and maybe a 7 minute Wrestlemania match for them) on the roster. Nothing too deep, just something to get the fans involved. Fans would hate this team. Eventually, they will get thrown in a mud pit or "dirtied" in some other way. (The trouble is a fan could throw a soda at them on the way down the aisle and ruin it haha) But I think if done correctly, it could be a nice, short-term spot with great entertainment value...while getting two solid, young wrestlers some face time.

Thanks guys! Look forward to contributing to posts going forward.
 
Wrestler: Michael Cole

Brand: RAW

Face/Heel: Heel

Role/Title: Raw General Manager

Enemies/Feuds: All the faces

Allies: Heels (Mainly The Miz)

Story behind character:
Michael Cole will kinda play a Eric Bishoff role at Raw manager, keeping The Miz in the hunt or the champ. Doing whatever he can to try to screw over the faces

Very simple to say the least but it would be a good way to dump the *BEEP BEEP* every week and still get Cole over as a huge heel
 
Wrestler: Pick any upcoming FCW wrestler

Brand: Smackdown (this gimmick doesn't seem legitimate enough to put on Raw)

Face/Heel: Mostly face, possibly heel at the turn

Role/Title: Comedic relief -> Mid-card challenger

Enemies/Feuds: All the mid-card and lower wrestlers.

Allies: Nobody. (maybe the fans intitially)

Story behind character:
Bring up someone from FCW. Give them a string of losses on SD & Superstars (make them look like a legitimately crappy wrestler) Build up an entire Goldberg-esque streak of losses. One week on SD after their loss, the GM comes out and announces that they just reached their 100th loss without a win. GM brings out the beat up Cruiserweight belt (think Hardcore belt) and announces that the wrestler gets the belt for their horrible performance, and will keep it for as long as they continue to lose.
This inspires the wrestler to actually start performing well, to the point where they will knock out their opponent with their finisher and drag the opponent into covering them, and yell for the ref to count.

Comedic? Yes. Way gimmicky? Yes. But could it get someone over and into the mid-card on SD. Totally.
 
Wrestler: The Zombie

Brand: Smackdown

Face/Heel: Heel

Role/Title: Mid-Carder working his way up the ladder

Enemies/Feuds: KANE

Allies: HHH.

Story behind character: He's the undead lovechild of Kane's one-night stand with Katie Vick. And he's pissed that he's never had any contact with Dad. HHH can manage. Just have this kid do constant run-ins on Kane matches, beating down Kane and screwing Kane over at every possibility.
 
Wrestler: Daniel Brian aka Brian Danielson the American Dragon

Brand: RAW

Face/Heel: Heel

Role/Title: All around bad ass that can beat you in anyway you can think of.

Enemies/Feuds: Sin Cara, Dolph Ziggler, Sheamus

Allies: No one.

Story behind character:
Ok everyone that Danielson has had a feud with and beaten has gone on to greatness: Miz now the WWE Champ, Ziggler mega push against Edge that led to a very brief World title reign, Sheamus current US Champ, but where is Danielson? No where to be seen except in the back hanging with guest host eye candy the Bella Twins. Danielson needs to turn heel and go the route of "when is my time? I bust my ass for years, paid my dues, put guys over into championships, and what do I have to show for it, nothing. A stupid name change and a spot with the Bella Twins and Gail Kim?" He would drop the name change go back to Brian Danielson but really get over more with the American Dragon name. His first victim would be Sin Cara as these two could really go at it in the ring. AD would talk about how he got nothing when he first came to WWE and Sin Cara is being handed everything on a silver platter, awesome videos, cool entrances, etc, while all he gets is generic music and a lame name change. I think this would be an awesome way to really build up both guys together. They could even be teaming up and have AD turn on him mid match or something, or just have AD straight up attack him on RAW to kick off their feud.
 
Wrestler: Shadow (Yoshi Tatsu)

Brand: SmackDown

Face/Heel: tweener but probably Heel in the end

Role/Title: silent martial arts assassin (think Storm Shadow from G.I. Joe)

Enemies/Feuds: everyone (Ted DiBiase at first) then Sin Cara, and so on

Allies: None

Story behind Character:

Have Tatsu find out that DiBiase & Maryse have been playing him all along...He confronts them...only to be thrown into something that "mangles" his face...it's told that Tatsu is no longer in a capacity to wrestle...his vocal chords are shot, his face is no longer what it was, etc.

A few weeks later a man dressed up in ninja garb (all black), with stringy, long, black hair covering his face with scars across it shows and destroys DiBiase and abducts Maryse...all is silent

The next week DiBiase comes out looking like a wreck, cuts a promo about how he misses Maryse and will give the abductor millions of dollars for her return....on the screen you see the man looking at Maryse in a crazy way....showing his scars...he grabs her face and points her to the camera where she looks, crying and says, "Yoshi Tatsu is dead, only Shadow remains"

he becomes a hired assassin for others doing their dirty work for them...
 
Wrestler: Tyson Kidd

Brand: RAW

Face/Heel: Face

Role/Title: US Title #1 Contender

Enemies/Feuds: Sheamus

Allies: Daniel Bryan

Story behind character: Tyson Kidd is put in a Battle Royal to get a shot at Sheamus at the PPV. Kidd wins and goes on to feud with Sheamus. Sheamus begins attacking Kidd from behind, leading to Bryan and Kidd aligning themselves against Sheamus. Kidd becomes a fan favourite, soon sliding in to the underdog role.

I really think this Gimmick would work and it would give Kidd the push he deserves!​
 
Wrestler: Rey Mysterio, Hunico & Epico

Brand: RAW

Face/Heel: Heel

Role/Title:

Enemies/Feuds: Sin CAra

Allies: Just those 3

Story behind character: Rey gets ired of Sin doing what rey used to do, gets jealous of the new masked guy, he brings in Hunico & Epico from FCW to help him fight Sin for mask or something, Have mysterio lead the stable & whatnot, it leads up to a "Loser loses mask & quits WWE" Sin wins shakes Reys hand, rey goes to remove his mask but sin covers resy face because he has respect for rey and doesnt want his face/honor removed

I've been wanting mysterio to have a stable for a long time, and with 2 masked guys from FCW I think this would be a good oppurtunity
 
Wrestler: Alex Riley

Brand: Doesn't Matter.

Face/Heel: Neutral.

Role/Title: Clever.

Enemies/Feuds: Champions.

Allies: Everyone/No one.

Story behind character: I got the idea from watching the show OZ recently. Ryan O'Reilly is a character that just makes me laugh. He's a guy that uses people and plays sides when they benefit his agenda. He'll go back and froth between allies just to get his goals accomplished.

Riley is a good enough talker to get that done and he's also been around The Miz enough to be hated and "know" about deception. So, I think the idea could work out well. He can also make it seem like he'll help those that help him. Fast talking guy that get's things done. Fun to watch. A real shit-stirrer.
 
Wrestler: Ezekial Jackson
Brand: Raw
Face/Heel: Neutral More Heel Though

Role/Title: Big Zeke Leader Of His Own Group Called "Tha Outfit" or "Tha Unit"
Enemies/Feuds: Anyone
Allies: JTG, R-Truth.
Story behind character: A Leader Of His Own Group, Big Zeke would basically be modeled after Suge Knight. he lives the life of a rap superstar. comes to the ring in a Bentley, or a Benz, women at his side, maybe give him a pitbull or a rotweiler to come out with. you would see him backstage basically living the life. smoking cigars and chilling out. he would have a mean streak though and travels with his group.
 
I can think of a few original ones but right now I would really like to see some good tag teams being created and developed. Perhaps something with a Road Warrior/Demolition type gimmick with a manager to do the mic work. Something like Mason Ryan and Ezekiel Jacson in a team called Device Versa with Micheal Cole as a manager. Drew Mcyntire and Sheamus as the Celtic Warriors.. though that one seems to obvious and may only work in my head because of that fact.
 
Wrestler: Jon Moxley

Brand: RAW

Face/Heel: HEEL

Role/Title: "Loose Cannon"

Enemies/Feuds: Anyone/ Everyone

Allies: None.

Story behind character: Jon Moxley is a little sick. He can't seem to do anything halfway. He can't just win one title, he has to win them all. He can't just beat one guy down, he has to demolish the entire roster. Now, this doesn't mean that he is unstoppable. In fact, he tends to sabotage himself inside and outside the ring. But that also doesn't mean he can't wrestle, because he truly can. And everyone needs to fear that, because once he gets under your skin you start to question everything you think you know about "action soap operas".
 
Wrestler: Sin Cara
Face/Heel: It's complicated
Show: Whichever one Rey is NOT on.

Sin Cara speaks no English. So he hires a translator (Up and comer from FCW) in order to conduct interviews and cut promos. The translator, however, turns everything Sin Cara says into a way to build his own character and get himself over. He starts picking fights with random people, having everyone convinced it is actually what Sin Cara is saying and that Cara is a complete heel.

Eventually, Sin Cara and Rey Mysterio meet at a pay-per-view without the translator present and Rey offers to teach Sin Cara to speak English (Which he actually has been learning off-screen during this whole angle). This leads to Sin Cara eventually figuring out what his translator has been doing, setting up an angle for both of them to feud.
 
Wrestler: Shelton Benjamin

Brand: Raw

Face/Heel: Heel

Role/Title: Intercontinental title

Enemies/Feuds: John Morrison

Allies: -

Story behind character: Both men win there qualifying matches for the elimination chamber. Morrison has a chance to go multi - tittle. Then I would say sort of have a randy/punk (Shelton = Punk) (Morrison = Orton) chamber situation. and there feud continues on to mania were both have a classic highflying technical match which steals the show.

I No it's lame im not really could at creating any feud's. if anyone want's to sorta "remix" my opinion go ahead, i want to see your ideas.

Role/Title: Big Zeke Leader Of His Own Group Called "Tha Outfit" or "Tha Unit"
Enemies/Feuds: Anyone
Allies: JTG, R-Truth.

I like this idea alot. He could play like a King Pin type character.besides truth and jtg give him like 4 or 5 random guys as his "henchmen" or bodyguards. Have himplay like a Ultimate Gang Leader. We are kind of pushing the p.g. though.
 
Not going to go into the brands etc but here's a basic idea.

It's something similar to Waylon Mercy: a Hill-William, meaning a sophisticated country boy who wants to prove that he's not just a country boy but has a purpose in life. If you've ever seen Cape Fear, it's like the southern gentleman that on occasion snaps into a psychopathic moment, but regains his composure. Bit different here as he becomes countified, but not for very long. Could have a problem with making him serious though.
