Jumping the Gun: Danielson's WWE Gimmick

by Contributor IV on Aug 25, 2009 9:35 PM EDT

In case you missed it a couple days ago, ROH reported what some thought would never happen and others figured was inevitable. WWE's signing of Bryan "American Dragon" Danielson. Danielson was the final indie darling from the late 90s/early 00s era left to sign to a major promotion. He's known for his in-ring ability more than anything, so it's hard to guess how WWE will repackage him. It's doubtful a "No Gimmicks Needed" type of thing would work for him due to his lack of size. So I'm leaving the fantasy repackaging up to you early Cageside Seats Adopters. The best idea for a gimmick will win you the accolades of your peers which will no doubt lead to everyone wanting to be invited to your pizza party. SO whatcha got?

I’m guessing/hoping it’ll be something occupational based and WAAAAAAACKY.

I hope they bring him in as a Regal lackey like they did with Tajiri. Have him be Regal’s servant, not getting involved in his matches and then have him suplex the piss out of someone.

A dog catcher gimmick.

Bobby Backlund Jr.!

I'd actually dig that a lot

He could work as Backlund’s Protege. And we could have crazy Bob Backlund stalking around that his son will carry his legacy.

Doink the Clown?

Doink the Dragon would be awesome. I’m betting on some sort of silly Blue Blood gimmick ala Regal in WCW.

Has Nigel McGuinness ever been signed to a major fed?

Nope, I’m pretty sure he’s never even wrestled for TNA.

Bob Backlund Jr. is for sure the only gimmick that will work. Either that or throw a mask on him and make him Kane’s little brother who was maybe disfigured in a haunted car accident that also gave him technical wrestling super powers.
