Why doesn’t WWE have gimmicks anymore

[Yade]

why does everyone gotta have some stupid full name like Bo Dingleknot

They could literally make a movie from the undertaker and Kane’s kayfabe life story why not give guys gimmicks and backstories

WWE just feels like American. Ninja. Warrior

Nicknames the new gimmicks.

Cause of transparency. If social media was around back then half the gimmicks you loved would be deaded when they have to make SM post engaging their fans.
There's still a ton of gimmicks they could do that could fit in the sm age but they dont wanna work that hard.

Facts, you don’t have to do a New Generation gimmick in 2019 but you can still do gimmicks that fit today.

Imagine a New Nation led by Mark Henry and Tariq Nasheed .

Because that would require the creative team to be creative.

You'd just have clowns on social media tryna "expose" the gimmick

I like shyt like what Bray is doin. I like vignettes, I like supernatural type shyt if it's gonna be written well and make sense

Kane would get yankem chants in 2019. Remember Tensai? Times have changed.

For example let’s look at Seth Rollins


What is his character??
He’s the king slayer , and architect??
How ???
He’s only gimmick to me is being an American ninja warrior



Now let’s look at DROZ
Besides all the injury shyt they had droz world segments and this dude had somewhat of a backstory and he wasn’t even a main dude

 

[Norrin Radd]

I hear you but then you look at guys like the Viking Raiders, No Way Jose, Los Matadoros, etc. and see why.

Jor Hullard

Miko Drozbov

Taim Doobledoody



I can hear Michael Cole say all of these, with his trademark conviction

 

[Berniewood Hogan]

btw how insulting is it that they're having a "womens revolution" and all they get is their first name


Jane versus Tammy

Nicole versus Amy

wow
