I respect the hell out of Dustin Rhodes but people don't realize the only gimmick he ever made work was the original Goldust for about 2 years. Everything else was terrible. Black Reign, Se7en, it was all just a lame Goldust-inspired gimmick.
I can just see Tommy Dreamer walking up to Raven backstage at an ECW show. "Hey Raven, I asked Paul and he said no, but I'm sure if we just do it and do it right he'll be happy" Raven says "If Paul says no maybe we shouldn't, but what is it" Tommy then pulls out a gun "I need you to shoot me... hey, where are you going?" As Raven walks away
@@franklingoodwin Also, does this mean, instead of Daniel Bryan and Erick Rowan, there exists a timeline wherein we had the tag champs be Lloyd Boner and Thoruf Marius? lol
@@spi6455 He finally got to use the werewolf daredevil gimmick of "Cape Town Darewolf" after he left WWE under the name PJ Black and it's a fan-favorite gimmick regardless if he's a badass anti-hero babyface, or a aggressive heel.
The seven thing could have worked if they kept it paranormal like change the lines he said to the kid of course, but make it like hes looking st himself in the past as a child, him being innocent before "the tragedy" or something. But as history shows wcws gimmicks well...ya know
Just to give some context about the Bryan Danielson name thing: He wasn't actually serious about those names. From what I remember, the WWE told him to come up with a list of possible names. Bryan only wanted to be called Daniel Bryan, so he intentionally filled out the list with horrible, unusable names so that they would have no other choice but to go with Daniel Bryan.
Also, Lloyd Boner was supposed to be pronounced as "Bon-yay". The gimmick is that the fans would chant "Boner" at him, and Bryan would correct them by saying, "It's actually pronounced Bon-yay."
I can see how Erik Rowan's idea may have worked. Perhaps something alone the lines of Eddie Murphy's 'Golden Child'.Rowan maybe needing to defeat a wrestling with a touch of the super natural about them so his ward can achieve some sort of goal.
I always though inside of Rowan's cage should have been a sheep mask, and then he puts it on he goes crazy. Then when its off he'd act like it didn't happen. They love doing stuff like that.
4:46 that photoshop made me laugh, well done! and that spider is like a Walmart Halloween decoration, unbelievable. 1999 was truly a dishwater year for WCW.
6:20 I started my training in May 2002, and I was going to call myself Lee The Thief (which I took being called a Thief an insult at first, but then I started embracing that name, but I never thought of it being a wrestling gimmick until Chris Jericho's 1998 gimmick around the time he unmasked Juvi and was hauling around a bag of stolen goods), so in 2002 during my training days, (and anybody that was a wrestling fan in 2002 knows this was the Get The F Out Era as WWF became WWE) there was this one wrestler name "The Freak" Anthony Ingrim, my friend wasn't too fond of The Freak taking his shirt off, which got me to start making jokes towards Ingrim, and one of my jokes was that "As The Freak, He Needs To Get The F Out Because He Reaks" (I know, that's not how you spell Reek, but it's still pronounced the same), while Ingrim wore these trunks that say Freak, my friend gave me the idea that I should cover the F on his trunks, but then I thought of the idea of unsewing the letter F from his trunks only for him to come to the ring with his trunks saying "Reak" as he doesn't notice the F missing until his opponent laughs at him while he doesn't know why until I come out wearing my new Lee The Thief shirt that has Anthony's F sewn on the end of "Thief" as I cut a quick promo telling him "I was making my new Lee The Thief shirt, but I could only afford ten letters, I was needing a letter F, and since you needed to Get The F Out, I killed two birds with one stone" and then I would have a match a week later wearing a shirt that says "I Stole Your F" once again using Anthony's F which would then lead to our match "Winner Gets The F" (I haven't thought of anything further in this storyline)
I have my worst gimmicks, my first idea was to call myself Out Of Order and defeat my opponents with a headbutt (WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING?) and looking back, another stupid gimmick I had in mind was called The Big Bad Bloody Snot, I kind of thought of this one because of the moment The Godwinns attacked Cousin Cletus after he accidently cost The Godwinns the Tag Belts against LOD that Henry gave Cletus a nosebleed after hitting him with a slop-drop, and I originally thought about reusing that move and call it The Bloody-Snot Drop which then lead me to come up with the gimmick in which I thought of being killed off only to be resurrected covered in blood telling my foes, "You Can Kill Me, But You Can't Kill My Bloody-Snot" but then I scrapped that origin idea and just be completely angry and just have an obsession of beating the bloody-snots out of my opponents by hitting them with the bloody-snot drop or make them tap with my Bloody-Locks (Sharpshooter) and then beat the bloody-snot out of them afterwords (I never thought of this until now, I take their bloody-snot and put in a ziplock bag or jar as a souvenir "I think of this ridiculous gimmick for first time in almost 20 years and here I am adding to it)
Se7en, who clearly stole the name from the movie Se7en, which I HIGHLY recommend if you haven't seen it, wanted that child to be his lover, unfortunately. Basically it was ahead of it's time because Dustin was playing the role of a modern day Liberal. EDIT: They also mentioned the movie Pan's Labyrinth and that movie is even better than Se7en. For those that havent seen either, do yourself a favor and watch both one night, you won't be disappointed.
Actually PJ Black uses this gimmick he initially pitched to Triple H during his WWE days as Justin Gabriel in Lucha Underground, NJPW, and ROH and it's fan-favorite gimmick that plays on the fact PJ is a daredevil in real-life, he's a huge werewolf fan, and plays on the fact he's from Cape Town South Africa with the moniker the "Cape Town Darewolf" and Triple H shot this gimmick down. Funny how the whole "Cape Town Darewolf" gimmick is a fan-favorite gimmick.
Daniel Bryan as Buddy Peacock or Lloyd Boner would have been a big failure!! but it would have been funny to hear the crowd chant BONER, BONER, BONER. LOL.
My gimmick would be “the geek” basically i would be a wrestler how would talk about past wrestlers i looked up to plus anything to do with comic books,video games and manga.
I think Impact actually did Dreamers idea. But they shot Johnny Bravo instead of Dreamer. But at the time, I’m pretty sure he was part of creative. AND he played detective in the storyline.
The tribalist, a person who's very pro one side (can work in either) comes out in all their company merch, calls people marks and tells them to touch grass if they have a different opinion.would work great in 2024, I do feel like it's been done before tho
A lot of these sound like the wrestlers pitching ideas they think Vince Mcmahon will like. Which tells you everything you need to know about the man. But then some of these were pitched in WCW which also tells you how Russo and Bischoff aren't that far from his crazy. There was the time Mick Foley pitched Mankind as a way to get out of being Mason the Mutilator if you want an example. Basically countering a really bad idea with a less stupid one that he hoped he could make work. Spoiler: He not only made it work, he put all our butts in the seats.
I don't think Beefcake was employed as a barber. I never got the sense that it was an occupation. He seemed to present it more as something he did for enjoyment...
This was one of the worst videos you've ever done. But, it's not your fault. It's comedy "wrestlers," and criminals in the case of Hardbody Harrison, not taking the business seriously. Vince Russo wouldn't have pitched anything so terrible.
Dustin Rhodes: "They made me Dress Like Uncle Fester, My Name is Seven By the Way" 🤣🤣🤣
That was a legendary promo.
Now I want to see Mel Man “hulk up” and the commentary term scream “ He’s going postal!!!”
If WCW tells you it’s a bad idea. It’s a bad idea.
Yes!
yet they didn't think that about THE YETAAAAY, SHOCKMASTER, that robocop appearance and a few others? Dungeon of doom. ed Lesley's many gimmicks
@@ScarysReviews But this one was so bad not even WCW wanted to do it!
Dustin offering to get implants should be on the list, although I guess that's more part of a good gimmick than a full gimmick.
Dustin is wild for suggesting that
funny how he went from surprised to find out what "androgynous" means to that lol.
I respect the hell out of Dustin Rhodes but people don't realize the only gimmick he ever made work was the original Goldust for about 2 years. Everything else was terrible. Black Reign, Se7en, it was all just a lame Goldust-inspired gimmick.
The funny part about Dreamer's idea is he finally got to do it in TNA a few years ago lol

"Hey Raven, I asked Paul and he said no, but I'm sure if we just do it and do it right he'll be happy" Raven says "If Paul says no maybe we shouldn't, but what is it" Tommy then pulls out a gun "I need you to shoot me... hey, where are you going?" As Raven walks away
Tommy Dreamer actually told the entire story on the Busted Open radio podcast. Check it out. It's worth the laugh. 😆 🤣 😂
I thought Vince Russo made Dustin Rhodes Seven. He seemed really pissed off.
See now I'm just trying to imagine 65,000 people in the Superdome at Wrestlemania 30 chanting "LET'S GO, BONER!" in the main event. XD

Was there a payoff? I genuinely can't remember what it was 😂

@@PoeticPoker262A mechanical spider....so dumb
I mean PJ Black goes as the Darewolf... so I guess he kinda got it to work? Just tweaked it a little💀
Justin Gabriel would’ve thrived in NXT 2.0
If used right, many wrestlers would do well. Justin Gabriel had a good look and wrestled well. Sad they released him.

That would have made more sense than the fake spider.
The entry about Dreamer veing sniped releasing today of all days is funny timing.
This comment needs to be pinned 😂😂😂
Didn't TNA do the "shooter" thing in 2020?
Guess who was involved lol
Ironically, Dreamer would kinda get his wish in TNA. Remember the "who shot John E. Bravo" angle?
Bobby Lashley idea sounds like Bull Dempsey Bull Fit gimmick in NXT
After what happened to Dimebag Darrell, that sniper storyline would not age well.
The Goobledy Gooker 😆😅🤣😂
Vince McMahon will still get blamed for these ideas.
Watching now and hoping Buddy Peacock also gets a mention
The werewolf would have been greenlit for WWECW.
He was the "DareWolf" in lucha underground
Surprised to see The Solomonster on the thumbnail
Daniel Bryan, as Buddy Peacock or Lloyd Boner ? What the Hell ? 😂😂😂😂
BUDDY PEACOCK = THE modern day RED ROOSTER

"Lloyd Boner"? What a name!
Best name since "Ken Raper" (me rolling my eyes because of my first name). 😅
Yeah, I can't believe anyone would think "Ken" was a good wrestling name. The last name is fine, but that Ken part though...

I just heard "Boner" and "Pleasing himself" on my wrestling youtube channel
Anybody else hear the Buddy Peacock idea and think Danielson should do that as a one-off somewhere either against or teaming up with Dalton Castle? :D
Daniel Bryan as Buddy Peacock or Lloyd Boner would have been
a big failure!! but it would have been funny to hear the crowd chant
BONER, BONER, BONER. LOL.
The Pans Labyrinth made me laugh out loud.
I think Erik Rowan's cage should have had Al Snow's partner Head in there. It would have been a nice throwback to the insanity of Al Snow.

The little boy in the Seven vignettes is Cody.
PJ Black/ Justin Gabriel wasn`t let go from WWE, he left himself.
Fortunately for Dreamer, he would get to live his dream idea. Via John E. Bravo.
Lloyd Boner? Buddy Peacock? 😂
simon you are absolutely right repo man is the greatest gimmick ever
Imagine hearing Boner chants tho 😂
Lashley just wanted a break from chicken and broccoli
Se7en: The Original Bondage Undertaker
Theres an alternate reality where Lloyd Boner wrestled Melman
Lord Boner sounds better.

Lloyd Boner? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Didn't Dreamer ended up getting "shot" in the last couple years in tna?
