Schmiel The Shyster - he would be a hasidic jew, born in new york wrestled at Yeshiva University and joined the Isreali Army. His biggest skill is contract negotiating and he always seems to get title matches when he doesn't deserve them. He also scams other wrestlers out of money.

Sin Cara gets fired for botching too much, a sympathetic member of the production team in the music and video department give him a job so he can make ends meet. A few people get sacked in the winter cuts so Sin Cara manages to work his way up to a pretty important role by late January..2014 Royal Rumble, the lights dim for #30. The Undertaker's gong goes off...then this starts playing -

Nazi soldier. Goes after all the Jewish wrestlers in WWE and looks to get them fired from WWE.

Ricardo Rodriguez, repackaged as mental beyond an AJ scale.

As is, loony bin-ready crazy.

Keep him a face, but have him snap after one too many beatdowns by the heels. Maybe have him bite someone in the head during a match, do more ECW-like matches, have him make Mick Foley's stuff seem almost, but not quite, tame.

What say you?

The Blue Falcon:
Blue Masked super sadistic luchador heel who goes after all the undercard comedy bullshit that the mothers and children love. He's
spent his whole career catering to ankle biting little rat bastards in nothing federation in Mexico and now he's in the Big Leagues and is going to clear it out of all the Bush League kiddie bullshit. He exists to terrify children and make them cry. He'll be maiming Great Khali, Tensai, Hornswoggle, etc. His real feuds would be with Kofi, Ryder and Brodus Clay, but principally Kofi.

His first act of business is to take a lead pipe, his version of Triple H's Burying Time Shovel-Sledgehammer, and break somebody's ankles and knees.

The whole gimmick would be informed by this rant.

FUCK THE CHILDREN.
I know what you're thinking, "Jesus Christ, he's not gonna attack children is he?" YES HE IS!
You've turned children into cult objects. You have a child fetish and it is unhealthy and I'm here to break you of it.

-high ranking scientologist. He would be OT level 7 and have a bunch of supernatural powers.
-Wade Roe the abortionist
-wrestler who is openly gay but is not a stereotype.

Special Ed - a retarded Wrestler. He arrives to the arena in a yellow school bus, with his lunchbox, and he mimics Hogan, Cena, and the Rock. He calls timeouts during matches and he beats all the faces when they refuse to beat him up. His career starts out when he meets CENA and he wants a Wrestling Match vs. Cena... Cena being the nice guy lets him win. Next week the retard is in the top 10., so heel wrestlers start flying him to RAW so they can get the positional jump by beating someone in the top 10.

A Big Gay Biker - I want a guy who looks like RW Hawk and sticks his hand down wrestlers pants, grinds up aganist them, and sticks his finger in their butts - then smells his finger. He'll walk into the locker room grab a wrestlers truck and sniff them. If a Wrestler gets up he smells their seats and he carries straws around.

A Super Smart and Fat internet wrestling Fan (think Bastion Booger) whose watched 10,000 wrestling matches and has an immense knowledge of what to do. He'll cut promos and give obscure quotes like I'll make you tap out like the Iron Shiek made George South tap on Wrestling SUperstars in 1983. He's also a virgin.

Little Jimmy - a huge monster like the Boogey Man

They should have like a Super Villain gimmick. Something like Bane from Batman. Instead of at a football like from Dark Knight Rises, have a strange buff wrestler in the ring holding the arena in hostage. Have him say like he will blow up the place. It would never work but you asked for a controversial gimmick and i think that would work for sure.

What about one unamerican, anti-WWE marketing and political ideas gimmick ? :hmm:

One wrestler who eats horse-meat, you can include the visit of one horse slaughterhouse using lightly censored/pixelated images and real sounds with long emotionnal focus on the eyes of the horses outside that are waiting to get butched. Just after the vignette, he could interview one horse-butcher on the ring. The butcher will demontrate the use of one captive bolt pistol on one real horse skull. Later the wrestler will eat horse meat in front of everybody on the very same ring and have servants distribute horse meat to the audience.

If there is a show in China, he could eat dog and cat meats in restaurants there, before to post about those meats on twitter. He should also visit the infamous Guolizhuang restaurant.

This wrestler would also be one socialist, neither a democrat, nor one republican. He would love to explain how much Europe or even China have better social and healthcare systems than the old decaying USA whose economy collapses.

He would love multiculturalism and cultural diversity, praising immigration and the fact that Mexicans take back California.

He would wish that the country depenalize Marijuana and allows gay marriage. Guns are, of course, too dangerous for him and he would never use any weapons in the ring, because it would be cheating and bad.

He would consider himself as morally superior to the fans, even being an atheist and hating the fact that religion and politics are linked in USA. About politics, he would explain that Free Speech is bad and dangerous in this current formulation in USA (Westboro Church, racism, islamophobia). He would make a hell lot of references to Mohammed Hassan's speeches.

This wrestler will also consider that the current WWE marketing aimed to kids is immoral and overly capitalistic. Kids shouldn't be used to sell things as they are innocent and pure. They must be protected from capitalism. He will of course burn some WWE toys in front on the kids in the arena.


I will probably add many other things later ;)

Michael J Rocks: Ageing grappler has contracted Parkinsons. Struggles to cut promos due to the mic shaking too much. His finisher is an Ankle Lock that initially looks very weak until his tremors take hold and cause him to wrench his opponents ankle and foot at various angles until they tap.

How about Alberto Del Rio starts to break from kayfabe, and starts to talk about how he, and his fellow workers have no Union that represents them, and they have no Health Care given to them by the WWE, and the tyrants that run this company. Have him talk about how he is the voice of the voiceless, and that he will speak for the masses. Taking shots at both Punk, and Sandow. Del Rio says that for decades the WWE has gotten away with treating their talents like pigs, and making tons of money off of their hard work. Del Rio says that Vince alone spent over 100 million dollars on his wife's campaign in which she loss again. Alberto wants to know why this money isn't going to a better cause like providing Health Insurance, and better wages.

Being serious here. What if they did a homosexual character that was just an ordinary person? Any gay characters prior to now have all been flamboyant weirdos. What if they did a gay character that was a perfectly normal member of society and just a really good wrestler, and they actually tried to tell real stories with it. Like how some heels refuse to work with him because of his alternate lifestyle. That could even be a tool to have a heel title holder avoid him while he is built up to the title shot.

That would actually be cool, but I have a hard time that the homophobic Americans could get behind a character like that. Imagine if they did a show in Alabama, he would get boo'ed harder than Cena in MSG.

The Union Local Sammy Hoffa Gompers.

He comes out during a Hacksaw Duggan and Brad Maddox match and cuts a promo.

He tells Duggan he's an idiot that he's currently the lowest paid Superstar on the rooster with more then 3 years experience in the ring. Then he tells Hacksaw that if he joined a Union he'd be making more money then john Cena because he deserves it. He then tells Brad Maddox that it's not fair that Bo Dallas makes $1000 dollars more a pay check than Maddox. So Both Maddox and Duggan join the Union. More and more Superstars start joining the Union.

As things progress Sammy Hoffa Gompers starts promoting communist ideas. Then he calls in his Management Consulting Team Vladmiri Koslov, Alexander Rusev, Alexi Koslov, and a North Korean Wrestler

An American guy who was brainwashed into thinking he is Japanese- even squints his eyes to look more stereotypical and draws Japanese symbols all over his face. Finishing moves could be the Poison Mist and his could walk to the ring in a Great Muta like outfit.

If that doesn't get him over he could cut a promo about how his grandfather flew a plane into a battleship during world war 2.

The Arsonist.. A mid level face like CJ Parker from NXT. Gets off on lighting fires. The guys is fascinated by Kane. We see Wrestlers outfits, and bags start catching fire, then one of ADR's cars, then a napping wrestler wakes up to his room on fire. Then CJ gets arrested trying to light an arena on fire.

He goes away for a few months but Otunga gets him off.
