10 Gimmicks WWE Needs To Bring Back In 2017 (And Who Should Use Them)
3. The 1%er
The fortunate son, the arrogant rich kid. Ted DiBiase Jr. seemingly had this gimmick ready-made for him, but he was presented somewhat as a joke and had all the charisma of a used teabag. It was difficult to believe at times that he was the son of The Million Dollar Man, but the times were different for one. We shouldn't be too hard on Teddy.
EC3 showed how well the fortunate family member could work in TNA, so much so that he is now a genuinely a sympathetic babyface. How did that happen? The 1% is a legitimate thing in today's world, a world that elected a member of that 1% as a protest against the 1%. Go figure.
The rich son of a billionaire would be another mega heel in today's professional wrestling world. WWE could go two ways here, giving the gimmick to a new character and hoping the crowd catches on, or they could be a little more creative; why not have Fandango find out that he is the heir to a billionaire's riches? Johnny Curtis is a character wrestling genius, he would surely work more magic with this.
