10 Movie Characters WWE Should Base New Gimmicks On

10. Jesus Quintana (The Big Lebowski)

Although millions of Big Lebowski fans' heads would literally explode if WWE were to base one of their characters on Jeff Bridges' iconic turn as "The Dude", the notion of a new-age, rug-obsessed pacifist wouldn't really play out too well inside the squared circle. But there's another character in Lebowski lore that would fit perfectly inside the WWE Universe: The Jesus.

He's a suave, salacious, sociopathic bowling maestro in a purple jumpsuit who speaks with an outrageous Cuban accent. He's already a pretty eccentric caricature, so if anything, would need to tone down some of his wilder aspects to make him more palatable for the long run.

But hey, can you imagine the kinds of back-and-forth promos a Jesus-type character and The Rock could have together, bantering in the 3rd-person the whole way through? That's magic in a bottle. Bonus points if theme composers Jim Johnston or CFO$ could put a flamenco spin on a popular classic rock song, much like the Gipsy Kings did for "Hotel California", which was used during Jesus' iconic introduction.

Also, not for nothing, there's a spin-off of The Big Lebowski called Going Places starring John Turturro that supposedly centers on The Jesus, so now would be a good time to strike while the iron's hot.
