    FACTS I know it was the wwe golden era and there were a lot of goofy and colorful type of gimmicks but the repo man was literally a gimmick were he “REPOED” wrestlers cars away because they didn’t pay their taxes.

    Bron Breakker can be a great legend killer. Similar to Randy, someone who grew up around the business aren’t intimidated by the legends and know all their weaknesses.

    100% Bron vs Randy would be an epic match. Passing of the torch & could potentially be his big chase, knocking off anyone with a decent reputation/history proving himself he deserves that Randy match!

    Bring back the “Savage from a faraway land”, like the Ugandan Giant Kamala, Wild Samoans, or George the Animal Steele. The typical unstoppable force impervious to pain and can be used for classic comedy trope of “the fish out of water”. Plus, Repo Man isn’t a bad guy, he’s just doing his job.

    Simon, if you’re still in the US by then, at the end of the month/early June, there’s an anime convention going on at my job. And there’s a local wrestling promotion (MEGA Championship Wrestling) doing a show there, where the wrestlers are cosplaying. I think you should talk to them about getting booked and then wrestle as The Repo Man!

    Gimmicks that are better left in the past; 1. Clowns: Matt Borne as Doink was one of a kind, and anything else would be a ripoff. 2. Superheroes: what may work in countries like Mexico and Japan can only come across here as WTF. At least I think so. Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee are exceptions, though. 3. Politicians and bureaucrats: do we really need another JBL or IRS? 4. Ethnic stereotypes: especially if we're at war with the foreign dictator. I mean, having an Israeli colonel enter the ring is just asking for trouble.
