Alright, have you ever seen a wrestler where you thought, "Damn, only if he had a better gimmick he could be something?" In this thread, I want to know who you think could have done more if it wasn't for his gimmick holding him back. Explain why his gimmick was holding him back and how they could fix it and give him a better gimmick.
I have to say Rikishi. I actually loved his gimmick but I think he needed something more serious. It's hard to take a stinkface serious in a main event match. I have noticed that Big Show is starting to do something like it but at least he isn't wearing a thong. I think Rikishi could have started off with that gimmick but then changed into a badass heel. He could steel have the same attire but just be taken more serious. I would have liked to see him turn on too cool then go into the main event and have World Title run or two. He wasn't that bad in the ring. I just don't think this gimmick worked in his favor for the long run.
