Money for nothin, chicks for free
Suddenly, this huge muscle bound wrestler has jumped in the ring. He's attacking the face ... who the heck is this huge guy with short bleach blonde hair here in WCW ??
After a dozen seconds it sinks in, holy crap ! That's Scott Steiner !
There has been grand transformations in the world of wrestling , Beach Party Sting transformed to Crow Sting , The Ringmaster to Stone Cold Steve Austin, Rocky Miavia to The Rock, Hulk Hogan to Hollywood Hulk Hogan and so on. With most it has vastly improved their careers , in some cases it did not. ( Kevin Nash doesn't count, he went through half a dozen changes before hitting the WWF)
Today's roster could use a transformation here and there IMO. It's not done very often anymore and I'm not sure of the reason when it's been very successful in the past. It doesn't have to be a drastic change either, even the most minor change in attire or entrance music can do wonders for a wrestlers image.
A guy like Cesaro could benefit into a new character system. The guy needs a new Schtick, new entrance music, ring attire and whatnot. I like Cesaro but a change needs to happen.
The Ascension need to be repackaged ( obviously, not sure why it hasn't been done already ).
Darren Young and Titus O'Neil could use a new gimmick of some sort. Possibly try to get away from each other and give single wrestling a try as well.
The entire SmackDown Program needs a rework or deletion. It's become stale as hell. Replace it with NXT Thursday Night or something different.
I could say Stardust ...but I'd be wary, he might not get T.V time without the Stardust gimmick.
A tweak of Roman Reigns. The guys entrance , attire , music are all stale IMO. Slightly modify his ring gear, new music and walk down the ramp like everyone else dammit.
A very slight adjustment to Seth Rollins entrance, this doesn't count as a transformation but a slight tweak. I'd have it when the music pauses at the start of the theme, pause it two seconds longer in silence ....then hit two exploding pyros at opposite ends of the stage when his music kicks in again and he walks out. It would have a bigger impact for his entrance right when that heavy guitar kicks back in.
Randy Orton, same entrance music , new ring attire , long hair with a trimmed neat goatee. The guy hasn't changed his look in 10 years.
Who would you transform ?
