Sting was inspired by The Crow and Razor Ramon was inspired by Scarface, but what other fictional characters do you think would make dimes gimmicks?
>>19006928shawn, go to bed.
>>19006928Superman. An actual kind man who treats everyone with actual respect and doesn't like fighting but wants to prevent all the evil people in pro wrestling from holding titles and preaching hate. Oh, and he actually loses to people sometimes, unlike 05-15 Cena
>>19006928Robocop.
>>19006928hey shawn, you should do a gimmick based on classic PC game character leisure suit larry. he's a total pervert just like you lol. i dont think he ever posed for a gay magazine tho.
Literally any character from a Sergio Leone westernWould take a bit more than just sticking them in a costume but they would all get over big and end up with a face run
Baby Firefly easily, I don't know why anyone hasn't
>>19006976Tutti fucking fruitti
>>19006928The GREAT Oniabsolute dimes, merch out the wazoo
>>19006978captain spaulding too
>>19006933how did you know i... i mean he was shawn??
>>19007015Crazy to me that no one has tried a Captain Spaulding gimmick, would be over like crazy
>>19006928a typical shonen character (or someone who thinks hes a shonen character like kaido from saiki k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhBpp0yEQH0 )his ringwalk could be a naruto run to the ring and hes obsessed with training and never giving up.
>>19007126isn't this mike speedball bailey's gimmick
>>19007164Nah it's this
>>19006928Kane was obviously a Michael Myers/Jason ripoff.
>>19006928Travis BicklePatrick BatemanTyler DurdenWilliam FosterJimmy KingRoosh V
>>19006928Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
It'd save the industry
>>19007650unironically the truth. it won't heal the fan divide
>>19006952>leisure suit larryLiterally Joey Ryan.>>19007631>Patrick BatemanCody did this and then actually turned into it.
Doesn't this just show wrestling isn't dimes if the big names have to rip of movie characters to draw?
>>19006928
neytiri from avatarjake sully from avatarquaritch from avatar
>>19007622Glen actually complained that it wasn't enough of one. He wanted the boiler suit look too.
>>19006928>getting squashed>inhale from tank you brought to the ring>hulk up and go berserk to hit your finisher
>>19008849>Steveweiser??? Fuck that shit!! PABST BLUE RIBBON!!
>>19007015Doink was kind of a crazy clown gimmick
>>19007631Travis Bickle and Max Cady together make Waylon Mercy
Sling blade would make a great gimmick
Underrated gimmick.
>>19006974They're all so self motivated they would make great gimmicks. Most bookers would just dress a guy up like a cowboy and call it a day, but the cowboy part is totally superfluous.
>>19007077They tried with Kizarny and it instantly flopped
>>19009894Kizarny was kneecapped by the way they made him talk, also he didn't have full greasepaint and the presence of someone like Sid Haig.
These two would be a dimes tag-team of all times
>>19006928Road Warriors were Mad Max inspired. New Jack also got his name from the movie.
Basically Kurt Angle but a drunk funny Aussie but he locks in when the matches matter. Mix in some Eddie Guerrero in him too
This would be cool but they would probably make him a short skinny fat mexican jumping bean
Although this movie hasn't aged well, fight club was the hottest thing for young men the first few years it came out. A Tyler Durden gimmick would've been dimes.
>>19010722That's the case, that would be El Fuerte.
>>19007650pretty some people in AEW have that gimmick and that promotion is a failure
>>19010722
>>19010722>>19011407
Constantine/occult detective gimmick who believes that heel turns in wrestling are the direct result of demonic possession so he enters the business to exorcise heels back to faces while struggling with his own faith & internal conflict of where exactly the line between the two are drawn and how far he will have to go
>>19006976ahem?
>>19008739avatar is gay. but not as gay as you
>>19009850Is this not Tony Khan's gimmick?
>>19012056mommy titties
>>19006928A calculating psychopath would be dimes.
>>19012118lol literally one of the greatest franchises of all time
silent masked kung-fu nazi
Flamboyant sadomasochist. I guess this would basically just be Jun Kasai mixed with Shinsuke Nakamura though.
>>19012396i was just thinking about how an anton chigurh gimmick would work the other day. you'd have to use him sparingly. but every once in a while, have him come out and make someone flip a coin. if they lose, he shoots on them with a big ass lariat or something. he'd needed to have an extremely high power level.
>Well Hello Kairi
Scaramanga, the Man with the Golden Gun.Forget Blofeld. Bloated retard with a love for hatred.Scaramanga has an island, he has babes, he has Nick Nack, and he has class.Hospitable as no other villain ever was for Bond, if only because he always wins.Where Dr. No was perturbed and evil and Goldfinger was a megalomaniac, Scaramanga just had a job to do. The Anti-Bond, an exact equal and opposite to the babyface of the biggest spy franchise in the world.
