He can be sort the new big "Supernatural" like gimmick of this PG Era. He is pretty much a devil or like the Omen, and when he's seen, something bad happens, but we only find out about the bad thing happening once he's moved away and looking back at the footage, he might be in a corner just sitting down, the occurrence might happen outside his locker, something like that. And he can play mind games on his opponents, and you would see them not wanting to wrestle him because of fear of something bad happening. It will be 10x scarier if he wears his face mask while in a match, I hope he still wears that to the ring btw, but yeah. This could either be really good, or could go down with a lot of other stuff where the WWE just forgets about it. Though WWE should be careful, this could get old fast and fade simply fade out. Before he comes out to cut a promo/wrestle, the lights turn off for 20 seconds then he make his entrance through the crowd, with no lights on just the spotlight on him walking through the crowd, and hard slow song playing. And eventually he could lead a Brood/Ministry like stable, but with only 2 other guys, a tag team & himself. Also would be cool if in most of his promos he could read out a line from the bible, but do the exact opposite and attack the opponent.
A very horror movie like character, where's he's very deep, tortured, evil & feared.

Even when he was in Nexus I predicted after Nexus he would have a very dark creepy gimmick, HOPEFULLY it seems like it might be starting.

His theme music should be this, IMO, with a longer intro until he shown in the crowd and slightly edited to make the Dream's voice sound deeper.



What do you guys think?

But I would love it, if it did.

I like it!

Tarver definitely has the skills to pull it off. Call him the "Ill Omen" or something like that, a mysterious guy who seems to make bad shit happen to his opponents. You could have backstage promos where lighting rigs fall, or something from the ceiling falls as his opponent is giving an interview, the falling object doesn't hit anyone but it just makes thing creepy. There are many ways you could sell this. Very cool thinking, I like where you are going with this.

Everything but the song, the song had me until the dude started singing, cool beat but no on the vocals.

Wouldn't of minded Tarver and Skip tagging together once Sheffs ready though. They could well save the Tag Team Divison. Looking forward to see what they have planned for Tarver though in the near future. Doubt this idea or anything near would happen even though id love for it to be something like this, they are playing around though, over on SD my thoughts where that he would be named as a member of Corre. Well hopefully he will maybe make things more clear at the rumble.

Nah dont think the tormented monster gimmick would work for him...More suited to just being a hard as nails bad ass motherfucker who takes people out. The whole angel on one shoulder/ devil on the other doesnt have to be a dark gimmick. Just a cool way to say i can make your life pleasant if you dont mess with me, or i can make it a living hell.

Michael f'n Tarver...The absolute wrestler FTW

Actually a really good idea, though WWE would need a lot of faith in him for them to give him that kind of spotlight.

The "bad luck omen" thing was also pretty cool too, as it's supernatural but not Undertaker level unrealistic. In that sense it's more Paranormal Activity-like, more mind games than rising from the dead and shooting lightning.

Love it, though would be tricky to pull off and don't see WWE doing anything like it.

I hate that idea. Enough with the supernatural gimmicks already. Didn't anyone get sick and tired of Kane and Taker's teleport war a few months back during their feud? Or of the Boogeyman...pretty much all of the time?

Just make Tarver a mean guy who can screw with anyone and knock you out in 1.9 seconds...simple.

I dont think wwe is planning anything special about Tarver.. simply because he is not that special himself. Just because he has been seen in the backstage areas aimlessly standing doesn't mean he have to become an another boogeyman or an assassin or something weird.. Nothing wrong with ure idea.. but i would like to see him like someone here said "A bad ass".. kinda like Mike Tyson in his prime type bad-ass.

Or he can simply join Corre at the royal rumble, by helping Barret to eliminate punk.

Plus, he doesn't have a presence of a monster u suggest to destroy Kane or undertaker.

I have two good ideas if we need a duo for Tarver and Ezechiel :

But basically I see Tarver like Black Mask in Batman
- a criminal strategist with vast amount of resources (corrupting officials)
- cool and cold : able to use brutal and sadistic torture
- violence without emotions : fear and intimidation as weapons
- attacks the emotionnal weak points of opponents
- cynical and sarcastic
- italian business suit and tie
- armed with a taser

Ezechiel would be like Bane in Batman
- huge beast but far more clever than we think
- speaks a few languages
- able to quote famous books and authors
- extremely dangerous at all times
- but perfectly sane and in control of his mind and actions
- deep respect for opponents
- highly devious and a superb strategist and tactician
- Einstein in the body of a bodybuilder

In summary Tarver would be the strength and Ezechiel the mind, which would shock most viewers. They act like enforcers to hire before to slowly reveal their personnalities and how they will gain power in WWE.

Tarver belongs in Corre. After all, who's gonna believe that the stable with less people will ever have a chance against the stable with more people? Add Tarver to Corre, and have a proper faction war.

Not gonna lie, I love the idea. Whenever Tarver is around bad shit happens, Teddy getting attacked, the whole Bellas/Bryan thing on Raw. Maybe not a supernatural thing, but more of a Devil's Advocate type thing, picking up where Sean O'Haire left off. I'm all for Tarver getting his own thing outside of Nexus/Corre, and it looks like they are doing something with him.
