But the difference is, my guys really are master backstage politicians. Can you say the same about guys like Ken Shamrock and the Rock (who put over many wrestlers in his career)? |
It doesn't matter. It's been done, done many times, and quite honestly, done poorly. Gimmicks like this that play to the "smarts" are cute for a while, but they wear out very fast.
Plus, you need to consider your other wrestlers. Remember, in general, the rest of the guys fucking HATE people who play the game like this. And you're pretty much throwing it out in their faces. In my eyes, what kills the gimmick is that these guys -are- manipulative bastards. Think about it - what if the suckup jerk at your job started telling the world he was a suckup jerk?
I think the idea itself could work, on a smaller scale - a wrestler who is a clever bastard who somehow manages to manipulate things behind the scenes his way, but nobody can figure out how he does it. But I really can't see taking a bunch of cocksuckers and calling them "The Cocksuckers".
