Poof! Little particles of the Wrestling Thread, go floating through the air!

Bray Wyatt is going to be an interesting one to watch, he's strong on the mic but a lot of what he says is just the usual stuff about fighting the machine and other cult preacher type rhetoric, as he goes alone he'll have to flesh out his purpose, motivations and goals.

Bray Wyatt is almost like a modern-day Mankind. His gimmick currently right now is of some kind of monster (though a more realistic monster), but I can totally see that same character, with only minor changes here and there, going on to do other things.

That's how I see Wyatt as well. I think he will be able to move beyond this cult leader gimmick. I'm more worried about Harper and Rowan after The Wyatt Family. Harper can do his trucker gimmick but I don't know what you would do with Rowan.

I can see Bray going away from the Brainwashing cult leader to the Revolutionary that tries to take down the machine.

With Harper and Rowen, it's not really their gimmick that will hold them back (in professional wrestling, to be a large, strong and violent man-beast is the most versatile gimmick there is) but the fact that relatively generic big-men don't have as good a history in the WWE as one might first think, given Vince's penchant for muscles over ring ability. I'm thinking about Tyson Tomko, Nathan Jones, Matt Morgan, the Harris Brothers, Bull Buchanan and so on, even though they "fit" the traditional WWE template for a wrestler, you could pretty much serve them up as interchangeable stormtroopers. Unfortunately, I can see Harper and Rowen also falling into that trap.

Harper has some mic ability so he could do better than most expect. Rowan has never shown anything apart from being a silent killer.

Rowan can become some crazy guy that thinks everyone is against him because he's a ginger.

We need an all-ginger stable: Sheamus, Rowan and Heath Slater, and bring in Don Most to be their manager.

Can Don be in character as Ralph Malph?

I've been making a ginger stable in the games for years with CAWs, now it can be done in real life!

 

[Pink Ranger]

Can Don be in character as Ralph Malph?

Sir, I am insulted, insulted(!), that you feel you even need to ask!

My answer:

That reminds me, if the WWE ever wants to dissolve a stable, just have Ted McGinley join it.

Kurt Angle got arrested AGAIN for drunk driving. I wish he would get help already.

 

[NDX]

Did he drunk tweet about it yet?

Man, now I hope he's the one pinned in that idiotic matchup in 2 weeks,

I also like how he's less and less happy with each mug shot.

"Hi my name is Kurt, I won an olympic gold medal with a broken freakin' neck, and I'm an alcoholic".

I liked him on Married with Children.

I feel dirty for laughing so hard at this.

In all seriousness though, I want Kurt to get his life straight, because he's someone that I've always liked. He's turning into one of those guys who might go too soon.

 

[NDX]

We've been saying Angle's been on the short list for a dirt nap since WWECW. Man's surpassed most of our expectations. Still, he's nowhere near off that list with actions like this.

As far as gimmicks go, I feel like there needs to be a balance. You can't have an entire organization of Doinks (although they sure as hell tried for a while), but you also can't have all Dean Malenkos.

 

[Slushy]

What would you guys say was Rob Van Dam's best match(es) in TNA during his tenure?

The original Doink was great. Too bad Hogan wouldn't work with him at WrestleMania 9.

 

[NDX]

A ****load of Dean Malenkos? I'd approve of that. Sounds awesome.

Yes, awesome, dammit! And you think so too!

Who else is staying in and watching Smackdown?
