HEEL TURN! THIS CANADIAN JUST GOT REAL! :mad1-61:

It's more like this, the super hero thing may not work with TJ only because he ain't no Shane Helms.

Finn, Sheamus, and Becky are fine without the Brood thing.

Jack should not be a Clown...

Kane reverting back to his original look won't do anything.

Also, Eva doesn't have the in ring skills or mic skills yet to carry a gimmick like that.

I think his point was that Jack is a clown LOL and adding Becky as suggested above to Bray's group would benefit her and him both. Sheamus ehhh... Finn just needs more of a "demon-like" appearance 24/7 not just for special entrances.

I agree with everything @Beaver except The new brood with Finn Balor, Sheamus and Becky......That would be amazing @Grievous.... If done correctly ....I think a good third member besides Becky.... If it were to be 3 guys instead would be Bo Dallas....I bo-lieve that he could actually pull it off and save his career because I feel he is on the right path straight out the door.

It's too controversial but I would enjoy another Muhammad Assain gimmick. That Muslim shit is guaranteed heat and I enjoy that.

As far as a gimmick that I would like to return hmmmm......:hmm: IDK (LOL)

But If I could mix two from the past I think that Ravens gimmick mixed with Brian Pilman's crazy lunatic personality (but only when my kayfabe wrestler gets angry) I think that would have been awesome..... Throw in some good promos, a well rounded arsenal of manuvers, a bad ass attire and a dope ass entrance!....Sounds like a WWE Champ to me....Lol at least hardcore champion right?

I thought of another.....I guess this would be a group gimmick return!....We are the Nation Of Domination!!!!!!

So I would bring Mark Henry back for awhile and have him lead The new nation (Since he was an original member) My nation would include The New day and Apollo Crews led by The world's strongest himself of course. (If I were to add a member I guess it would be Titus but 6 people is alot so I stuck with 5 ) Anyway The same thing that happen with Farooq and The rock would happen in my New Nation but in this case it would be Mark Henry and Crews. So Crews would eventually get the group to turn on Mark causing a blood feud between Henry and Crews that would lead to Mark being forced to retire for good from a beating he received at the hands of a angry crews thus making Crews look like a million bucks! I mean wtf else is he doing right now anyway he needs something that will help his character. I think it works because The New day could still be a three man tag team contending for the tag titles!.....Just no more Booty-O's kids!

Well...some other Cruiserweight then...I would had suggested Neville...
but he's a heel now...and that works...
Jack should not be a Clown...
Yeah...better he not be on television at all...

That and the new Doink would be an amazing technical wrestler and
shock people with his skills...plus he could be a "creepy" clown...
Kane reverting back to his original look won't do anything.
No...it doesn't do anything...I just want to see it...
Also, Eva doesn't have the in ring skills or mic skills yet to carry a gimmick like that.
Than don't have her wrestle or talk...simply make her a visual character
who tells a story with body language and gentle whispers...plus Eva is
more an actress than a wrestler...so give her a character and let her act.

Speaking of which...

All Shotgun Everything!!!

I'm pretty sure I mentioned this possible idea/concept in a thread...
Did you steal my idea?
:p

Okay...so the my first lot of suggestions went down like a lead balloon...
but its not going to stop me from throwing a few more out there...

Asuka (not that she needs it) as a Kitsune (Japanese Fox Spirit from Yokai folklore)...

Alexa Bliss as a Fairy, Forest Nymph or Pixie...(I'm sure she could handle it)

Emmalina could be a Bi-Polar Supermodel (Neon Demon Style)...

Dana Brooke could be a Valkyrie...(Really stretching with this one)

Baron Corbin could incorporate the legends of Fenrir or the Black Shuck into his
"lone wolf" gimmick...Or may-be...some hints of clinical lycanthropy...

The new Chinese developmental signings could be the Four Chinese Sky Symbols...
These creatures are the Azure Dragon of the East, the White Tiger of the West,
the Black Tortoise of the North, and the Vermillion Bird of the South.

Sasha Banks could be a heel "Gang Leader" as the RAW General Manager..

And that's all I got this time...

I mainly make these suggestions because at least all of them would make the
WWE more interesting and give the suggested performers something "more" to
work with...and that's what I'd like to see.

The superhero gimmick for me is just not good because it will always be compared to Shane Helm's work as the Hurricane. So that won't be good for TJP. Does he need to showcase his personality more? Yes, but a superhero isn't the way to do it. Besides, Neville kind of had that going for a while and where did that get him?

Well, Jack Swagger isn't even on TV to begin with...sooooooooooo. Plus I think seeing Jack Swagger as a clown would cause NIGHTMARES for years.

But if you want him to be good, perhaps team him with American Alpha and Kurt Angle if he returns and work an All-American stable. Can be good guys or heels.

Also, in my eyes, a gimmick change is needed either to keep a character fresh when they are getting a bit stale and aren't over, if they really need a character change to save their career, or if they need to fill a role. Example: Husky Harris to Bray Wyatt saved his career. Mean Mark to The Undertaker saved his career. Deadman Taker to the American Badass gave a fresh change of pace for a while then back once the ABA got stale and Taker wanted to have one Last Ride as the Deadman. Bradshaw to JBL not just added longevity to his career, but filled the top heel role on Smackdown.

For Becky, Finn, and Sheamus, right now they don't need it. Becky is the top face female on Smackdown Live, Sheamus has been the best he's been for years, and Finn may be hurt, but when he does come back, he has the needed fuel to push him towards a program for the WWE Universal Championship since he never lost the belt and can be the conquering babyface with a split personality. As for Eva, last time we saw her in the ring, she still needed a lot of work. So unless she becomes a manager, or has improved a lot since then, she has to fine tune that a bit more before she can really be on the roster.

P.S: Just because you disagree, doesn't mean you need to give dislikes, thank you very much.

Well...that would kind of be the idea...lol

I know they don't need it now...I'm just throwing random ideas
at the wall...just for fun. I honestly doubt any ideas I've mentioned
would ever be truly be implemented in the WWE.
As for Eva, last time we saw her in the ring, she still needed a lot of work.
No shit...lol
So unless she becomes a manager
Bingo...just put her on TV...
she has to fine tune that a bit more before she can really be on the roster.
Realistically...Eva, Dana Brooke, Nia Jax & Carmella should all
still be in NXT...possibly Alexa Bliss as well...but the brand split
and injuries had these ladies step up too early...and for better
or worse...they all have my full support.
