Anyone else want a guy with a Vampire gimmick? I remember being a huge fan of Gangrel & The Brood and more recently Kevin Thorn. I think it would be nice to see another Vampire gimmick, someone will need to replace Kane & The Undertaker with the Supernatural gimmicks. A few Supernatural gimmicks need to come back, all there is these days is a cocky scared heel and babyface that won't back down from a fight.

While the supernatural characters such as Gangrel, Kevin Thorn, Papa Shango, Undertaker, etc are cool, the era of those types of gimmicks seem to be gone. Today's state of wrestling doesn't really suit those gimmicks anymore.
The Undertaker will always work because, well, it's The Undertaker. People accept Kane because he has longevity with the gimmick and being that he is The Undertaker's storyline brother, it makes sense. I really don't see any supernatural characters getting over in the future, but who knows... it could happen.

Gangrel was honestly one of the most well done gimmicks i've seen. someone like that could still work.

No. Undertaker to me, killed any future Supernatural gimmick. He mastered it, any other attempts would just be a lost cause. And as far as another Vampire? No. I know it's been almost four years, but Kevin Thorn is still fresh in my mind. Actually, on second thought, a more subtle vampire, the likes of Edward from Twilight would be the way to go, if bringing it back. Instead of looking like Kevin Thorn, a blatent vampire, he's more subtle, yet pale, with vampire creepiness. So instead of being a vampire, they imply it for us to think. But he better be a damn good wrestler to justify bringing Twilight to WWE  . |

They need some bizarre gimmicks.. The only thing bizarre about today's roster is Khali, Hornswoggle, and Goldust... and Goldust is the only one who counts for anything;.
Vampires wont work cause that involves blood and then the medics will have to come out and all the replays will be in black & white.
I think they need a robot gimmick.

They screwed up getting rid of Kevin Thorn in the first place...

I'd like to see it if it was established that the character was more about mind games and f-ing with an opponent's psyche than someone believing they're actually a vampire.

Even in the 80's/90's I never liked those gimmicks. It was always too hard to swallow for me, even when I was a kid. I love the Undertaker's wrestling ability, but aside from ABA, I have always hated his character.

Vampire gimmicks are so stupid. Seriously you bitch about PG ratings and then you want silly childish gimmicks. You cant have your cake and eat it too. Keep to more realistic "gimmicks" where things can be somewhat believable, especially if you want to be taken serious and not a a joke kiddie show.

Gangrel's gimmick owned, however, his wrestling ability was pretty terrible.
I'm all for another "vampire-type" gimmick.

I'm really surprised that WWE hasn't tried to take advantage of the success of Twilight by giving some guy from FCW a vampire gimmick. Not that I would want that...just surprised.

The guy doesn't have to be an "actual" vampire. |

Maybe, but I would prefer if they brought in CP Munk and Colt Cabunny.
