10 Real Inspirations Behind Current Wrestling Gimmicks

As you've likely already noticed over the course of this list, wrestlers have a habit of chipping away pieces of inspiration from a whole host of different places when putting the building blocks in place for a character they're playing on our screen each week.

And in the case of AEW's resident Bunny Allie, said reference points for her current gimmick within Tony Khan's company can be found in a genre that is extremely close to her heart: horror.

Whilst going into more detail about her role alongside The Butcher and The Blade on the AEW Unrestricted podcast, Allie revealed that the likes of House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil’s Rejects, The Vampire Diaries, and even The Strangers were all vital when it came time to sculpt the unsettling Bunny character we see before our eyes today.

And while these horror elements make up the majority of what we see every time The Bunny makes her way to the ring, this AEW star has also admitted that her own real-life experiences play a major role in bringing this often demented character to life.
