The supernatural gimmick era is done!

[theheel916]

As much as I love the Undertaker, Papa Shango everyone that does supernatural gimmicks I believe the time is up, it’s time to wrap it up because unfortunately we do not have a performer that can really pull it off like the undertaker and even he couldn’t pull it off recently with his age and everything so I believe the supernatural gimmicks that we have now are not believable and it’s time for them to be put away for good.

Honestly it was never really in for me. Undertaker was good enough where he overcame that crap. I've never been a fan of that type of stuff.

Seem to be leaning into more of this

Across the entire landscape, not just one company doing this shit.

As I said in chat earlier, I’m probably one of the only people who likes what Bliss is doing. They are some stuff I would change for sure about it, but I don’t mind the majority of it. I think she’s pulling it off quite well.

But I also wouldn’t be against it being over and done with either, and doing away with that type of gimmick.

She’s great at acting it’s just not believable

I mean when was any of the supernatural gimmicks believable, apart from when people were babykids?

Not real life believable I’m talking about being able to suspend my beliefs just for entertainment like a movie but I can’t Bray Wyatt was close

The supernatural gimmicks have always been for the kids, that has always been the point of them.

Kids are not watching.....the numbers and demos reflect that.

Fiend are Bliss are popular with the 18-35 demo.....

Nah they’re really not even though kids love them it’s entertaining even for adults when done right. Kids never cared about the Fiend or undertaker

A supernatural gimmick could work if done right and isn't over the top. What Bray was doing before he became the fiend was great. He spoke of faceless entity and posted cryptic tweets and all, and it worked well. There also a few people in the Indies who have a "supernatural" vibe to them, and they do it well. Now, if you are talking like The Fiend, Undertaker, and so forth then yeah a lot of that is done and over with.

My general rule is that they just shouldn't have powers. Something like Sting or Abyss is great, because they have their characters that inherently make them special, but they aren't shooting lightning or doing telekinesis. That's where, these days, it becomes a joke to me.

Loads of kid had Taker as their favourite wrestler - no idea, what you are talking about at this point.
