Gimmick Basics

what is a gimmick?
a gimmick is what your wrestler has that makes him different from other wrestlers. a gimmick can be anything:
* what your wrestler looks like: khali is a big, scary guy from india
* what is your wrestling style: mark henry is a power wrestler, using moves that need a lot of strength
* what is your wrestler outside the ring: kurt angle is an olympic gold medallist
* what is your wrestler's personality or beliefs: jbl is arrogant and thinks he is better than everybody
the list is just a short one. there are other ways you can define your gimmick.
you need a good gimmick to help you be different from the other 49 wrestlers in this roster. find a gimmick you are comfortable with, and which can work to get you noticed.
you should also find ways to make your gimmick grow. try not to stick to the same old thing over and over, or else people will see your character as stale, and will look for someone else to entertain them.
what is a face/heel?
a face is a good guy in wrestling. this means as a good guy there are some things you cannot do, because they are not what good guys do. for example, would you consider someone to be a good guy if he throws a ton of horsecrap in your car for absolutely no reason?
a heel is a bad guy in wrestling. this means they do things bad guys do, and make people and fans angry at them. if you found someone throwing horsecrap in your car for no reason, you would naturally see him as a heel, because he just did something to hurt you and make you angry.
it is important that you stay consistent: if you say you are a face, don't do evil things on innocent wrestlers and people. if you are a heel, you must do things which will get everyone to hate you.
what is a tweener?
a tweener is someone who claims to be neither face nor heel. in reality, it means he wants to have it both ways. a tweener wants to be able to do nasty, evil things, but still be cheered by the fans. it is like having a priest have sex with little boys, and still be allowed to give mass and hear your confession.
