Same Gimmick, Different Worker & Game

[PoisonedSuperman]

Does anybody do this?

 

I have a SWF Game where I have The Guru renamed as The Jewru, and his gimmick is that of a Jewish Rabbi and he runs a stable called The Jew Crew consisting of The Stinky Jew, J.E.Double U, and "Clueless" Jew Jackson.

 

Now I'm in my USPW game at the begining of it and I'm looking to bring back the "Clueless" Jew Jackson character for Jumbo Jackson but obviously The Guru is off limits but I was thinking of renaming someone else as The Jewru and running the exact same gimmick.

 

I know that most people are going to say to do what I want because its my game but I'm just looking for your thoughts and opinions on the situation. Also if anyone else has done this in the past, if not why? If so, examples would be cool.

 

Thanks.

Sounds to me like you need to import Commadant Markus Maier and The Aryan Barbarian from 1975 and beat me to having a diary involving a Holocaust themed stable feud like I've always planned.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In all seriousness, I've always wanted to have Commadant Markus Maier face Sabra Man in an Inferno match. Not sure if I could ever cleanse my soul if I did that.

Use Jillefski as a manager good excuse to get a better announcer as well.

I'd love to do a diary game but I can't seem to ever finish one either because something actually comes up in my life or while reading it I feel it has become too repetitive so go ahead little buddy! Make the Jews proud.

I use the same ideas with different guys in plenty of games. I usually have a "Feather Boa Society" tag team or stable running amok, and someone goes "Wrath of God"... Strangely none of those have made it into my diary game, but every personal game gets them.

 

I said it in a thread a long time ago, but I'll say it again. Out of context, I hate "The Stinky Jew". It sounds incredibly offensive. Maybe if you did a diary with it the context will come through and it'll be a cool, progressive, positive character, but as a name alone it bothers me. The others at least sound comedic and fun.

Yeah it's your game and all, but that sounds really dumb if you're going for comedy and pretty tame if you're trying to offend.

...You know Comradebot was being sarcastic right? Oh god, i don't think you actually do

 

And as with Self and that thread a while ago, it's an awful gimmick. No matter how you're trying to play it it's a ridiculous name, and the explanation you gave didn't make it any better.

Whenever I hire a Native American I want to get away from the "Traditional Indian" wardance and feathers gimmick somehow. In one game I had "The Modern Day Warrior" Ace Youngblood (Man on a mission gimmick) in which I reimagined him with a more "80's Sting" style of dress and a mission to dispel the image of the ignorant savage, in another I had "The Pit Boss" (forget who I had in the role) a heelish rich "Indian casino owner" whose mission in life was to use his vast resources to take "all the white man's money" for the perceived and actual wrongs his people suffered.

You know Vlad that Pit Boss gimmick actually sounds like it could work in a real life promotion.

It sort of did. I based it off of Billy Two Eagles, a long time face who worked the typical Native American gimmick, who turned heel and worked a similar gimmick (as "B2E") here in the pacific northwest in Johnny Fairplay's short lived promotion. I just gave it a few tweaks and blended in a little Million Dollar Man for good measure.

[BHK1978]

Vlad, you are making me go off topic once again. But I did not know Johnny Fairplay had a promotion up there. Did he actually own it or was he just the on screen authority figure? Did he use his "dead" grandmother in that promotion?

 

And man I wished I lived in the Portland area, it sounds like you have a nice indy scene up there.

He owned it. He ran a promotion before he moved up here and brought it with him when he moved. This was before his Survivor stint obviously. He had B2E, "Disposable Youth" Drew Gage (sort of a goth/punk type gimmick), "Mr. Wrestling" Matt Farmer (a vet of the area and local wrestling historian, which is what his nickname is from), The Coach (a guy who worked a "boring" wrestling coach gimmick who managed to get over as a major heel), Buddy Rose Jr. (not actually related to Rose, got over as a face against The Coach through implying that he was abused as a child by him, now works as Marion Gein), Psycho Sailor (who was involved in a hardcore match that saw them take it outside into the street and Psycho throw his opponent through the glass door of a local gym), and a number of others came and went through there.
