Pot Head gimmick

[jameyt2003]

I think would be a great idea. I don't how popular pot is on this forum, but I know it is very popular where I come from.

So we turn a straight edge baby face (not necessarily CM Punk) into a stoner goof fuck up, keep him just as dominant, and see how it works. Now the weed would only be apart of his gimmick for a limited time, but he would kick a lot of ass when he is high. or not. maybe he takes a bong rip after a clean win. I do believe his finisher would have to be the Go To Sleep, because that is what someone I know does when he partakes in such delights.

All I am saying is that a pot head in any promotion would probably work out for a little while. I'm sorry I do not believe it is a log term solution, but I do admit I want to see it happen. Your Welcome.

RVD has been doing that gimmick for years.

 

[jameyt2003]

o yea, your right

but I still believe it should be revived and a lot more open and out there.

I'd be intrigued to see how this forum views pot. Someone should make a poll.

Daizee Haze who is a female indie wrestler used this gimmick I'm pretty sure.

It would work for someone like Paul London who smokes anyway. Like RVD it wouldn't be as much of a gimmick as it would just be him being who he is.

Having them smoking weed or taking a bong hit on t.v. would never happen because the networks would never allow it. So WWE, TNA and ROH would all be out of the question.

I know 100% sure ROH would be out of the question at least because they air on FOX and FOX wouldn't allow The Simpsons to animate Homer actually inhaling on an episode where he uses medical marijuana so there's no way they'd let ROH air a show with a wrestler taking a bong hit.

Pot isn't PG.

Daizee Haze and RVD have (as has been pointed out), indeed, been doing this gimmick for ages. Also, WCW tried it. Twice. Once with Hammer (during the MIA bit, as Major Stash), and one of the Armstrong's. I think it was Brad, all I remember is the atrocious name "Buzz Kill", and him flagrantly ripping off Brian. They both went over about as well as a fart in church.

WCW also had a team named Kronik. While their gimmick certainly wasn't as pot heads it's no secret what the name implied.

I didn't forget them. I just didn't feel like they fit the discussion, as they weren't gimmicked as pot heads. And, the reference wouldn't be so blatant, if Madden hadn't so blatantly bitten a bunch of references from Kevin Smith, or started calling the double choke slam finisher "High Times".

Isn't this basically what CJ Parker's current shitty gimmick is?

 

[Coco]

WZCW tried this with Rodney McClain. It didn't really get over.

A gimmick like this would be one of a kind...

My nomination for rookie of the year was obviously the right choice. Hopefully you all follow suit.
