10 Gimmicks WWE Needs To Bring Back In 2017 (And Who Should Use Them)
4. The Superhero
Goldberg returned to the WWE at Survivor Series 2016 and subsequently vanquished Brock Lesnar in under two minutes. Lesnar, the man who had broken the streak, destroyed John Cena, bludgeoned Randy Orton and bullied every man in the company (including Heath Slater), finally got what was coming to him. Someone stood up to the bully and vanquished the villain.
It proved that there is most definitely still a place in WWE for superheroes. Now, a Goldberg-type superhero has a fairly brief shelf life, but what about a return for a masked comic book hero not unlike The Hurricane? Shane Helms' superhero persona was hugely over years ago, and a similar gimmick could fill a hole today.
Such moves were hinted at last year during Neville and Stardust's feud, so why not give this sort of gimmick to Neville? He can be a legitimate superhero, the quirkiness of The Hurricane tied to actual in-ring credibility.
