Hey Bill, thanks as always for what you do, yadda yadda.
I've been looking at WWE's active roster and had some ideas for potential gimmick changes. Throw 'em around and do with them what you will. Hope everybody's well..
-Jack Swagger from Legitimate Athlete to Cocky- LA to me seems more suited for someone like Goldberg when he first debuted, or Taz as the human suplex machine. Or someone like Shelton Benjamin as a face early in his career..basically, they should let their wrestling do the talking. I think cocky suits Swagger a little better as his whole promo is him talking about his own accomplishments; thats what he's all about.
-The Miz from Cocky to Obnoxious- The reason we're meant to dislike Miz is simple: he's annoying!
-MVP from Legitimate Athlete to Cool- again, not sure he fits the legit athlete mold
-Chris Masters to Fun Babyface- the dancing pecs seems to be the basis for his act right now
-William Regal from Royalty to Arrogant- He's not meant to be an actual king, and he doesn't do the king get-up like Booker did. Its not the main part of his character.
-Batista from Man Beast to Egomaniac- the guy is obsessed with his own image, thats what the heel turn and the beef with Cena is all about, Batista deciding he hasn't been getting his props as the #1 man. Its all he talks about. Its an ego trip. And he doesn't mind walking away from matches and attacking people to eventually get his way, because he's obsessed with it now. MB worked for him as a face but this sticks out as one that needs updating to me.
-Linda McMahon from Authority Figure to Unique- When I loaded my new game, the writers said AF wasn't working. Besides, should we EVER have to worry about Linda McMahon's gimmick "going stale?" Thats crazy.
-Heath Slater from Rock Star to Cool- The writers also had a problem with this one. He doesn't fit the gimmick description anyway, where Chris Jericho during the King of the World days is the example.
Also, I'm not sure if you know that Primo currently has higher overness than Carlito? Maybe bring Carlito up from 67 to around 73? Primo is at 70.
