elgato Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 ahahahahahhahahahahahhaahahahah this is it.... the perfect proof how stale and uninventive wrestling has become, so that todays wrestling fans totally dig a shitty and used before gimmick like that! Thank you all, now I can rest easy with the knowledge that I come from the days when Wrestling was real, exciting, unforeseeable and full of variety!! Thank you, for now I know that just like in Basketball with Michael Jordan, I have seen the best era of time that a certain sport has ever had and can easily lay back now and tell the people of today that back in my time things were different and way better ! Oh yeah, because gimmicks like Vinnie Vegas are so cutting edge. And Razor Ramon totally wasn't borrowed from the character of Tony Montana. so? Nearly every other gimmick is based upon some kind of movie/comic character What about Dolph Ziggler's gimmick? Daniel Bryan's gimmick? Oh, this is a good one.. tell me what movie character Triple H's gimmick is based on? The WWE are actually being more inventive with what they have than they have been for the past few years and it's really shown. Brodus Clay's gimmick may sound incredibly rubbish and cliched on paper considering we had awful gimmicks such as the 'Kerwin White' gimmick despite the guy being Hispanic but the thing is that Brodus actually made the gimmick work and that's what we love about it. Dolph Ziggler is essentially Mr. Perfect whilst following less sporting endevours with more trick based ones. Daniel Bryan is Dean Malenko or Chris Benoit with the submission specialist. Triple H originally came in as an aristocrat of some form, which was a cliche and trite gimmick from many novels, television shows and reality at the time... I'm a huge Ziggles and Bryan fan. I just disagree with the sentiment that you have to do something entirely new to be original. You can do something that is an idea as old as time and as long as you do it better, innovate on top of it or make it your own you deserve praise. Entertainment is entertainment, over analysis is easy, when you're an adult finding the simple joys of wrestling is harder. Brodus' weirdly awesome gimmick helped me find a simple joy of wrestling.

Axel Mulligan Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I thought it was ridiculous, yet funny? Not a fan of the gimmick, but calling things out in the ring was great. "My bad!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
