A wrestler with a fat-shaming gimmick.

They could do a low-key double-turn with a Neville/Owens feud like that.

Have face Neville win the IC title and put Owens' face in a cake, "Eat the pain away, you disgusting fat loser." :ufdup:


Have Owens start show-casing his high-flying to show fat people they can beat the odds. :mjcry: :lupepopcorn:

....or replace Neville with Del Rio. :ehh:

Everyone saying Muhammad Hassan but in like 5 years a Syrian Refugee gimmick in the same vein as MH would be dope

If we're keeping it simple, an outspoken militant black heel who's a competitive threat. Basically the same thing that has worked in sports for a hundred years from Jack Johnson to Muhammad Ali to Marshawn Lynch.

Funny that wrestling has never had that. Ever.

Bad News Brown.

But yes, a no-nonsense, "When you see me, it means somebody's getting these hands. Period." type cat would have me :whoo:

When I say competitive threat, I'm talking about being a threat to the championship. Bad News Brown was quite a while ago so I don't know if he was.

I think a racist gimmick could work, but it should only be with the heel racist and the face fighting against it,. Couldn't go full throttle but people would know what's good and hopefully it would be an interesting story and get across a good message too and in culmination see the racist get a huge beatdown and the racist cower and be defeated on many levels, heel would have to be very arrogant and condescending at the start though and get people's backs up, could be done well and it would get people talking and hopefully unite people against the racists.

Could even have a Muslim
dude or refugee that is unfairly stereotyped too me. Attacked, isolated and he overcomes them storyline wise. Potential for storylines is limitless, it's a shame can be so bland , good stories can really hook people in and make people care about the matches.

Well to be fair, as long as Hogan had the belt back then, no one was a legitimate threat to the championship. But ... here.
