The WWE characters we see today are essentially, well they are lame. If they are good and a feud gets hot, or a character is gaining momentum they thrust John Cena in and he just kills all of it. Either by beating them via his “Super Cena” abilities or trying to overshadow them as he teams with them. Moving on…I hate Cena. John Cena kills careers – see everyone he has ever Super Cena’d.

Remember when we were all chanting “Yes” and the WWE started calling Blandy, I mean Randy Orton the “Face of the Company” to counteract that. God forbid we choose who we like.

The creative/marketing monkeys team spend too much time developing names for moves, costumes, fabricating unwanted relationship drama, and other frivolous stuff so much that they forget it’s a wrestling program.

Also, Vince loves him some bodybuilders over skilled performers. Look up the WBF and you will see his failed attempt at a bodybuilding federation and PPV. Besides, remember this:

They just released 8 wrestlers and one solid heel diva. 5 of them were misused and the idiots in WWE creative couldn’t figure anything out to go with their above average talent. Here are 5 guys on the roster who are being wasted due to bad gimmicks and will eventually go nowhere if something isn’t done.

Bo Dallas

Bo-lievers will hate me for this, but his gimmick sucks. Most fans are tired of cartoonish cheesy characters that Vincent K. McMahon keeps pumping out with a smile on his face.

Rotunda is a third generation professional wrestler; his grandfather Blackjack Mulligan, father Mike Rotunda and uncles Barry and Kendall Windham were all professional wrestlers. His real life brother is Bray Wyatt. Bo Dallas can wrestle so let him, but give him a better finisher. Fans like sudden endings and not a rehash of Trish Stratus’s Stratusfaction bulldog off the ropes.

His fake motivational attitude doesn’t play well at all and he just doesn’t look like star material in his current role.

The fix:

Bray Wyatt comes out after a Bo Dallas match and starts ranting on his childish actions. He reveals that Bo is a Wyatt. Dallas would come off as crazy, hell crazier than Bray if he was revealed as his looney brother. Wyatt asks him what he’s doing and Bo can reply that he’s having fun messing with these foolish fans. Imagine Bo Dallas as a Wyatt and using his persona in that vein. Now it seems to make sense doesn’t it?

You would have to be crazy to think that what you have Bo doing right now would get him over with the fans.

Adam Rose

Be a lemon not a rosebud. Let him turn heel and be a lemon.

His rosebud gimmick is the same tired crap that we have to endure when Fan”Total Divas”dango comes out to no reaction each week. Adam could be a great heel if they let him. Dear Vince this cartoonish crap is not working today. It is a wrestling program so focus on wrestling first before packaging someone with an over the top one trick pony gimmick.

The fix:

Adam Rose gets on the mic and in a condescending tone compliments someone in a patronizing manner let’s say. Then it grows in to a constant verbal lambasting of each opponent. Give him an edge and watch him work.

Fandango

Ditch the dancing, keep the girls.

Why does Vince McMahon constantly package talent with stupid gimmicks?

Fandango is lame.  He is obviously a bad marriage of steamy romance novels and Dancing with the Stars. This is wrestling and I know it has a female following but give them a man. Don’t let Total Divas ruin an already watered down three hours of thin content. Dancing does not put butts in seats. Other than singing along with his horrible theme song live like they do Adam Rose’s – it’s time to change the channel when he enters the arena.

The Fix:

If they want to cram Total Divas down our throats then let’s have whichever woman he’s with dump him. Give him an all black outfit and let him speak without that awful accent. Let him come clean that he put on that persona so he could get where he is in the company, but now he’s moving on. It’s time to let the real man behind the dancer shine.

Heath Slater

Let him win.

Slater already has a good mid-card gimmick. He’s a good filler match with someone like Fandango. the problem is that the WWE only knows how to write good TV for one or two feuds at a time. They have so many wrestlers begging to step up and they rely on guys like Orton who is stale as can be, and skip over Dolph Ziggler who is over with the fans.

The fix:

Let Slater win. Let him come out and show that he can wrestle. The fans like him and could care less what his specific gimmick is. His rock star persona is second to his charisma and that is why he is an easy fix. He is good on the mic and the right kind of cheesy. Let the guy win Vince.

Finally,

 Dolph Ziggler

The most over guy, or popular with fans, in the entire WWE who keeps getting cheers despite the WWE using him as enhancement talent otherwise known as a jobber.

Ziggler has such a skillset and uncanny ability to make moves look amazing with even the most average of wrestlers, but that also hinders him. When they need one of their oily body, Vince McMahon love object bodybuilders to get over they send in Ziggler who makes them look amazing.

Ziggler also gets tossed in meaningless feuds. Recently he started a rivalry with Seth Rollins, but due to Vince’s senility and the idiots in creative they will forget that the fans cared for it and move Ziggler in to a feud with Rusev where he will be squashed over and over.

The Fix:

Let Dolph be Dolph. Let him talk without a script and let him show off. He is the show off right? Stop letting him lose and watch what happens WWE. WATCH HIM RISE ABOVE. Stop punishing the fans because Vince is butthurt about comments he made about the company, or keep wasting him and we will keep calling you dumb asses.

Seriously, WWE. Hire me and I will save your failing company.

6 thoughts on “5 failed WWE gimmicks that can be fixed now”
  1. I completely agree with this. I’d like to also add that they should get rid of the “authority” gimmick. If HHH can’t wrestler just get the hell out of the ring. He and Stephanie are the worst 2 actors with the same repeated gimmick. Vince also threw that nonsense at us and it never worked then and it certainly doesn’t work now. It’s a shame wwe doesn’t give fans what they’d like to see which is wrestling. A bit of soap opera and gimmick is fine. However, when it’s overdone it just gets stupid.

    WWE should also get rid of retarded cliches like “building momentum” and “trending worldwide”. Let’s hope that wwe can someday go from kindergarten to adult entertainment. Right now it’s just perfect for the 5 year old kids!

  2. Another stupid crap is when a wrestler has to defeat a champ to get a shot at the title. This is dumb, dumb, dumb. If a champ is defeated he is no longer the champ – period! There is no such thing as a non title match. If you lose you become a contender. Wrestling today is geared towards mentally challenged people. I know it’s completely fake but they should at least make it realistic. No wonder TNA, ROH and other wrestling companies are gaining “momentum”! They’re “trending worldwide” even though they’re just as dumb as WWE.

  3. WWE needs to stop retarded matches involving 3 against 1, 5 on 1 and 11 on 1 nonsense. Try 1 on 1, 2 on 2 or 3 on 3. Duh with 5 against 1 I wonder who will win???????!!!

  4. Still another stupid idea is when a so called top wrestler loses off a “distraction”. They make it seem like wrestlers have no concentration at all. This idea always has been just plain DUMB.

  5. What about stupid TNA? Why make such a big deal about going through a weak broken table. It would make more sense to concentrate on something called…………….WRESTLING!!! Who the hell cares about a table.

  6. I BOlieve that the Bo Dallas gimmick will be a 100% failure just like most of the other stupid gimmicks.
