RE: matches and gimmicks

Question
hi steve,

how do you find a good gimmick which has never been seen before?and do you have any ideas for one? i am training and getting ready to create a character to wrestle for a promotion as a heel but can find no fresh ideas to utilise.

also, do u know of an easy way to remember moves and spots in matches? i struggle to remember all my spots and wondered if you know of one or know a way a superstar remembers them which makes it easier.

thanks

Answer
Thanks for your question Matt.  Finding a gimmick is not an easy thing but can only be created by a very good imagination.  Sometimes it's the promoters that can come up with those kind of ideas.  Talk to as many people as you can for ideas and opinions and also try and think outside the box!!  As far as remembering moves, well this can be done by practicing a routine over and over and over much like people that do things like gymnastics.  Be creative and communicate well with your co-workers to come up with original and entertaining moves that will excite a variety of audiences.  
I hope this helps and good like with your career.
