WWE: 5 Superstars in Need of a New Gimmick

There are some things that are built to last in the WWE: Undertaker's streak, The Rock's catchphrases, Randy Orton's glare, etc.

Then, there are these five gimmicks.

Ideas that I'm sure sounded great in the Creative room, but in effect fail to make much sense at all.

And in some cases, they are dragging down talented wrestlers who deserve better.

You may agree, you may disagree.

Feel free to sound off.

The Miz

Yes. You're "Awesome." We get it.

First on the list, and in desperate need of a new angle, is The Miz.

Although to be honest, this is more because, apart from being awesome, I'm still not exactly sure just what his gimmick is?

Make no mistake, Miz is a talented wrestler capable of selling high-profile matches.

He just needs a little more to his character than "awesomeness."

Natalya

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

Now, I'm not exactly the biggest fan of the Hart Dynasty.

But the WWE's recent treatment of the talented Natalya is getting to be quite embarrassing.

For those in the dark, Natalya basically roams the backstage corridors, unleashing her potent flatulence on unsuspecting victims.

Come now, Vince, let the beef with Bret go.

Heath Slater

Heath Slater is "The One-Man Southern Rock Band."

Quite what this means is beyond me.

In my head, I have the image of a street performer who has about a hundred instruments attached to his body and somehow manages to play them all—you know the one I'm talking about.

Not that the Drew McIntyre lookalike could hope for much better, as incoming heels like Damien Sandow and Dean Ambrose look set to take his increasingly irrelevant position in the WWE.

Brodus Clay

Please, WWE Universe, for the love of God, tell me I'm not the only one who wants to throw my television set outside the window every time I hear the words "Can somebody call my Momma?" and see The Funkasaurus making his way to the ring?

From his horrible squash matches to his implausible recent dominance over the extremely talented Dolph Ziggler, this man has to go.

No trial, no new gimmick.

Just go.

Side Note: Is it me or are those condoms on the back of his outfit?

R-Truth

Time to kick Little Jimmy to the curb, I'm afraid.

To be honest, it's not so bad a concept. I mean, the first few times Truth patted the head of his imaginary friend on the way to the ring, I've got to say, it was kind of cute.

But unfortunately, this gimmick has now become a distraction.

Ron Killings is a wrestling veteran who deserves better.

Proposal for Vince McMahon: a "You're Fired" match between Truth and Jimmy to see who remains in the WWE.
