MJF
Character: his various feuds with different wrestlers, Wardlow, Juice Robinson. His disagreement with TK, etc

Gimmick: cocky edgelord who thinks he's better than you

They feed into each other

ValeeLove:
You guys are really not going to condemn AAA & WWE for showcasing those things on TV? You know when Cody said that Brock returning is good because as a result of their deal with ESPN WWE is moving to a sports based product; I knew it was marketing talk at best. And Triplemania proved that.
Wrestling moved from the circus to the sport, back to the circus.

She didn't know
She found out last Sunday

samistry:
Hate to break it to you bud, such exaggerated traits na still gimmick and you fell for it.
It's not until someone does a comedic or ojuju routine that makes it a gimmick.
Old school Heels had fans throwing things and threatening em. They did it so convincingly that people thought it was their real personality.
It wasn't until kayfabe broke that fans found out such antics weren't true.
I don't need to tell you this much, you sef dey listen to Cornette podcast.
Has Maxwell done any of such tasteless antics real life? No? Then Na gimmick you dey see so.

LMAO.
Lucha na another crazy world on him own.
Mexican wrestling and Triple A in particular has always had such silly characters. They see it as part of their traditions.
I saw some of those contestants far back on Lucha Underground.

So na vibes and amen be that na. She allowed herself get pregnant in the midst of her biggest push.

ValeeLove:
I don't see your point. Are you saying MJF must be a heel in real life? A heel is a character in wrestling. He's doing his job. But he's not showcasing a character that is away from the wrestling structure. Simple. Look at Ospreay for instance. Arguably the best wrestler today - what's his gimmick? Brock nko? Roman? Gimmicks are already leaving which is a good thing. The next thing we eliminate are storylines and the world will be a better place.

'Gimmick': Is literally a heel characteristic.

Brock has no gimmick, he dominated UFC. He's not playing a character.

Logan Paul is a douchebag real life.

samistry:
What happens to the title shot Stephanie Vaquer has for Paris?

CoolUsername:
Ironically enough, at the time, that was Brock's gimmick. His gimmick was that he was a legit ass-kicker in a world of sports entertainers. His character, however, evolved from someone who just destroyed everybody to the grizzled veteran who put Cody Rhodes through hell to prepare him for the Roman Reigns rematch.

Logan Paul's real-life douchebaggery has to do with him doing anything for money and clout. He just leans into it to elevate his wrestling gimmick. His wrestling gimmick is that he is an outsider who thinks he's better than veterans and will brag about it constantly.

ValeeLove:
it's not wrestling.👎🏾

samistry:
My guy who discovered a Chris Jericho Vs. OMEGA NJPW 2018 match suddenly thinks he's moses who found the burning bush. Anyone who dares have a different opinion is on what his ideal wrestling sport is sprouts heresy.
What counts as wrestling in Japan varies with Mexico.
Same Event, different audience.
Please look up Mexican wrestling history before you continue to embarrass yourself.
Mexico has the oldest wrestling promotion till date.
We may not like their silly gimmicks but please don't say it's not wrestling because it doesn't align with your vision. It's more than a sport there, it's tradition.

CoolUsername:
His gimmick isn't special. What gets him over is his character.

ValeeLove:
this has nothing to do with New Japan and I don't care about Mexico's history. This is not wrestling. Simple. Imagine if this is what we grew up watching over Cena, Orton and Austin. Imagine the next Wrestlemania littered with circus characters from top to bottom. Haba.

samistry:
My guy you still fail to see you fell in love with a gimmick. Wrestling structure or not all na still character he dey play. It's make believe.
If the Maxwell in real life isn't what he's showing on screen, then he's acting simple and short.
It's the same for Dominik Mysterio.
No be until you do comedy or spooky antics before it's a gimmick.

Look at Darby Allin, that reckless Daredevil you see on screen is who he is real life. He's always doing dangerous stuff.

Brock has no gimmick, he dominated UFC. He's not playing a character.

Tribal Chief /head of table was a gimmick.

Will Ospreay Nickname is the aerial assassin.
It comes from Assassins Creed Game series.
the assassins creed entrance and costume he has Na wetin? Man's finisher is literally named the hidden blade.
Except say Ospreay go ninja school train real life, himself Na gimmick.

If you're looking for heels without Gimmick.
Takeshita doesn't have a gimmick.
Kyle Fletcher doesn't have one.
Logan Paul is a douchebag real life.

samistry:
Bcoz we grew up on American wrestling. Even those American wrestling sef get some undercard guys wey dey do comedy.
Even NJPW has Toru Yano.

samistry:
@valeelove, He defeated Moxley in 2019.

ValeeLove:
no. It's because we grew up watching something serious, at least for the most part. People like Dusty, Ric, Bret, Michaels; their work ethic make us take it serious. It's why guys like Doink were never main eventers. Again, since you like it, I hope you see it in Mania's main event next year.

ValeeLove:
this is the last time I'm going to say it. I'm all for character, not gimmick. The wrestling characters are between heels and faces. The gimmicks however have nothing to do with wrestling characters. They are externally gotten and that's it.
Darby is unique in the sense that his gimmick is who he is in real life, only that he brings it to wrestling. Like Brit Baker.
Ospreay has no gimmick. The fact that according to you likes Assassin's Creed and incorporates it to his displays simply means he's doing it for fun, not as a part of his character. I don't see him talking about Assassin's creed all day. Wrestlers wear costumes for their entrances. It's the same logic. No gimmick. Israel Adesanya is the last style bender; how does that help him win a match though? All fun. Nothing serious.

Ospeay Na gimmick maybe that's why he lacks match psychology. I kick outta everything and win like a video game.
Isreal Adesanya boasts about being the style bender, a nickname.
UFC and Wrestling no be the same. UFC fighters aren't playing characters on TV. There's no element of make belief in UFC.

Until I hear Maxwell doing the things he professes on TV. Na character, him dey play. He's a gimmick.
It's why certain folks who claim to be gangsta rappers get found out. You can't claim to rap about a lifestyle you haven't lived.
