I'm neat.
We've all imagined at one point or another a really creative idea for a superstar, how he'd look like, what his gimmick would be, how he'd debut, and imagined what it be like if this particular character got a chance in the WWE. Every year we get about 5 totally new debuts and they range from a ballroom dancer, to an angry Asian, all the way to a creepy serial killer preacher. (Fandango, Tensai, Wyatt, for those of you keeping track.) However as I'd assume a lot of you have thought well what if ______ character had a chance. Well folks, here's your opportunity to create the greatest debut in WWE history, your own because I'm curious as to what you think WWE needs right now as a character, and what looks, personality, style they need to make this character succeed.
So then how does this thread work? There's three main elements that need to be addressed here.
Gimmick-most important feature I think of this entire thing. There's clearly a lot of possible gimmicks that haven't been done yet, so the idea is you write the gimmick of your created superstar and explain how it's beneficial to the WWE
Appearance-what does your superstar look like and why is his particular appearance overall beneficial to the future of the WWE?
Debut- We've seen a lot of quality characters get squashed because they couldn't debut right. (Sin Cara) How a superstar starts their career can help determine how they end their career. Simply a brief synopsis of how would debut your superstar in order to set him in the path of success.
Seems pretty simple right. I'm curious as to what everyone think would be the best character for the WWE and this is the opportunity to be creative whilst also expressing what you think WWE needs most in the superstar department. Let's temporarily make imagination a reality and really try to make the next big superstar for the WWE and for some people find the character that is missing which could benefit the WWE.
So without further ado, my Superstar which will make the WWE have more success and build them to bigger and greater things.
Name: Luke Macy (A play off my own name)
Gimmick: The Gimmick that I think WWE is missing is that of a homeless street bum. However this isn't your average homeless person. Macy tries doing whatever he can to make money but also has a big heart and wants to try and clean up the streets from criminals and culprits and gets into many physical altercations with those portraying the attributes of evil. Macy may not win every fight as shown by his bodily appearance but he feels good knowing he tried. The majority of his experience comes from maneuvers he practiced whilst fighting crime and he has over the years become a better wrestler
Why: This gimmick is something that the WWE needs because firstly the common WWE fan can relate to someone who starts on the streets working as hard as they can and can appreciate someone who wants what's best for the world. WWE as mentioned in the debut portion would find him on the street and I believe his intervening in the problem could cause for immediate fan recognition. The WWE needs someone who could fill stay interesting in the midcard whilst ultimately being built to enter the Main Event. I could see the character progression for Macy going from a very humble person who quietly beats your generic midcard heel bully. To someone who is still being humble, but gaining more confidence midcard title contender, to someone who now finds himself getting too good and turns heel because he's now better than everyone else, to he loses a bit to have to refind himself phase, all whilst exploring his past and reasons as to why he ended up on the streets, his past actions, etc. I think with a character like this the creative ideas you could run with are endless and therefore you have a character who is still fresh 6 years down the line. I think this particular gimmick isn't about finding a win streak, always being title oriented, it's more relating with the WWE audience whilst still keeping the every day superhero theme kind of there. Whilst not going as far as one Gregory Helms. I personally see a lot of potential in this and think it would bring a lot of successes if given the right creative backing.
Appearance: Macy would be about 6'7 and he would have a fairly normal build to him. He wouldn't be extremely muscular but nobody would say he's in bad shape and he'd have short black hair. Macy would have a few "scars" on his body to represent his past on the streets and upon initial debut possible have a few contusions. Macy typically would wear generic clothing to the ring which would include normal athletic shorts and plain white shirts. His in ring attire would be the athletic shorts, socks and sneakers. He would initially have a small beard however as time progressed I would have him clean shaven. In addition, as time passed I'd also gradually improve his physique as I feel that with his gimmick if you start of with less and end with more you have a better overall product with the gimmick.
Why: I think that having someone who appears "normal" might relate to the WWE audience a bit more than a super sized jacked up character. Letting someone progress from a ruffian to WWE superstar is always an interesting storyline and seeing progression in the gimmick and personality from normal person to superstar through his appearance enhances his character just a little bit more. I like the concept of having him taller, and I think ultimately having him as more a jacked up superstar 6 years down the line will only make him more interesting knowing his "start" was as normal. It could be viewed as an accomplishment making him relatable once more.
Debut: I think we need to give him an extremely unique debut. One that isn't advertised and one that hasn't happened before. I think what needs to originally happen is a promo between face and heel happens outdoors in any given city and ultimately the heel starts beating on the face in public maybe a back alley or something and the generic homeless guy from on the screen comes in and saves the face. The next week we hear that the WWE has through and in ring segment where the heel is complaining about the assault and ultimately GM brings in Macy and announces something to the extent of they'll have a match at the next PPV. During the build Macy is trying to get use to the big lights and stardom and ultimately does beat the heel. He then proceeds to take on the next "bully" whilst adapting ultimately leading to a Midcard title shot.
So there you have it we're creating characters which you think are best for the WWE and who you think would have a lot of success in the WWE.
