I think a good wrestler gimmick would be the e-Wrestler. All his move names would be obnoxious internet acronymns.
OMG - His signature toprope move
FTW - Finishing Move
WTF - Some bizarre submission
ROFL - Rolling Clothesline
The guy would have to be a WWE Wrestler, of course. That way, they could use him to plug WWE.com, something which they don't do anywhere near enough on WWE programming. Also, he'd have to be a RAW wrestler, as he'd fit well with the style of commentary that JR and Lawler do:
JR: It looks like E-Wrestler is climbing the turnbuckle...
Lawler: Hee hee, that he is!
JR: It looks like he about to... Oh my god! OMG! OMG! My god, he's hit the OMG!
Lawler: Hee hee, sex with women!
JR: OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! We've got to take a commercial break, E-Wrestler just hit the OMG!
(commercial break)
JR: We're back, and the momentum in the match shifted while you were watching Applebee's commercials. You'd think after all these years that we'd have figured out a way to schedule our matches so that we didn't have to cut to commercials in the middle of them, but we just don't care. Now here's another clip of E-Wrestler hitting the OMG. OMG! OMG! OMG!

How about the ROFL-Copter?
It could be a variation of that move where you put the opponent up on your shoulders, spin around and drop him. He could signal for it by laughing maniacally before picking the guy up.

We already have the STFU, isn't that bad enough?
My idea for a wrestling gimmick would be a wrestler who comes out as other wrestlers, like Koko B. Ware, Bad News Brown, the Mountie, etc. For important matches, he'd come out as a previous gimmick for the wrestler he was facing. i.e. Isaac Yankem DDS.
He'd be a heel of course, and his promos would consist of him showing footage and talking about when the people he would face used to be heels and the things they did. His finishing move would be called 'A Harsh Reminder'.

I once made a character in WWF Warzone (PS) by the name of "Percy the Proctologist".

I always thought a great idea for a wacky indy gimmick would be a deaf wrestler. Imagine him not being able to hear the bell ring, any referee commands or anything else. Crazy finishes would be something where he thinks he got a three count, but it was a close two with feet on the ropes; goes off to celebrate in the crowd and loses by countout because he can't hear the ref count him out. It'd be a novelty that wouldn't last long, but I could see it being a little fun for a short time.

I think the guy with one leg already wore out the cripple-gimmick.

It was entertaining... for about 2 seconds.

It could have worked, but they only let him win one match. Poor Zach.

Supposedly he was really arrogant and shit, and that's what led to his downfall. Also his finisher was the one-legged missile dropkick, which as we all know, is several times deadlier than a two-legged one.

Never would've guessed you're friends with the guy who yelled out stuff about "Armando Alejandro Estrada" at an indy show because a guy had locs.

It's like an army of Jim Rosses brushing with invisible toothbrushes.
...There really is no God at this point.

Hence the God comment... I didn't want to mention it, but now my dinner is ruined. Thanks, Spanky. Seeing Jim Ross will never be the same nor will whatever I eat this evening.

Jim Ross is drooling and he's shaking his fist...
I think either he's having a stroke or it's supposed to be a visual slobberknocker.

I think you should have the animation move up and down then instead of left and right.

Since it's hilarious, I've added the JR avatar to the SydLexicon. I also added the OWNED one that someone, possibly Murdar or Jew, posted.
