Dominick definitely needs a mask.

I think they'll head into that down the line, like maybe when Rey's done he passes down a mask to him or some shyt like that... depends on how long Dom stays around, he's coming along well seeing how he just started on the roster in August.

Drew Gulak definitely would fit better on SD with the Alpha Academy stuff, he doesn't really fit in anywhere on RAW.

To me, Apollo needed a gimmick more than almost anybody... I like where he's at now with it.

Mustafa needs something else. I think we all saw a little potential in the Retribution thing when he started as the leader, but they either need to fix it or leave it alone at this point. shyt is almost as bad as the Truth Commission.

A repackaging or even a new gimmick can work wonders for a wrestler sometimes.
Alpha Academy Student Otis, Suited up TNA Champ Moose, all of the brothers in The Hurt Business, and Coming2America Apollo Crews got small tweaks to their characters that made huge improvements to their whole presentation.
Who do you think could benefit from a repackage or a gimmick change?
I'll start:
Rich Swann - breh is great in the ring, but he looks like a Food Lion stocker. It's time for him to cut the free form locs (his hair is too thin on top) and get some flashier gear. Maybe long tights?

Nia Jax-Nia is TRASH in the ring, but something that really annoys me is how often she takes breaks to fix her weave. Since she can't rassle with hair touching her face, then maybe she should wear a ponytail or cornrows. She could also go natural, word to Dr. Umar.

Retribution-The stench of jobberdom is all over these guys. They're straight Barry Horowitz status. Worse than losing all the time, they look stupid with those Party City masks. IMO, they should either switch to less cheesy masks, or lose the masks altogether if they want to be taken more seriously.

Add on.

Rich Swann desperately needs to put on some muscle. Dude is a skinnyfat cruiserweight who is the heavyweight champion of his company. I would say he should grow back some facial hair, too, but he definitely needs to either add some bulk or at least get cut up some.

Rey hinted on Twitter (back in January, IIRC) that Dominick was getting a mask. I think he said they were waiting on creative.

charlotte, shes the only one of the 4hw with the same corny gimmick as when she entered the main roster and is the least over out of them.. all her identity has ever been has been cosplaying as ric flair
Charlotte's Ric Flair impression is terrible. She can't strut. She can't WOO, and she can't talk. She's what Ric Flair would be of you boiled all of the charisma out of him.
This is how you do a Ric Flair impression:

Ricochet. As a face, he is just bland and has nothing in the way of a personality. The superhero thing isn't working for him at all. Adding him to the Hurt Business would have helped him immensely, I believe. No more corny costumes, more aggression and having MVP speak for him would go a long way in legitimizing him.

I've been saying this for the last year. But fukk Rick O'Shea's covidiot bytch ass :beli:
