Quick question: which gimmick(s) do you see performers like young Shawn Michaels, Dolph Ziggler, Tyler Breeze, etc. fitting into? I’m talking wrestlers who aren’t really defined by their workmanship like the Technician and are mostly defined by their character and promo work but can back it up with solid (or stellar!) in-ring work?
I’m having trouble finding a niche for flashy-but-competent workers in the game so far, and I’d like some advice.
So, shameless self promotion here, but quite while back now, there was a big buzz about custom gimmicks, and the one I wrote up, The Diva, is exactly the character you are looking for….
Which isn’t that surprising, I wrote it after watching the Mis do his whole “Hollywood don’t touch my moneymaker” thing, and then followed that up with some Takeover Fatal Four Way (which does date when that craze was), with some sweet Tyler Breeze action in it.
I might be able to find my write up and spread it with you….in the morning, when my brain is working. Thank you tablet autocorrect, for once, you have aided me….
Dolph is a High Flyer who took some +1s to Look. But he hasn’t touched his real; every time he shoots on twitter, he goes back down the card.
