5 WWE and WCW Gimmicks that would fit current Superstars

#3 Sami Zayn-The Man of 1004 Holds

In 1998, Chris Jericho was a talented, but underappreciated part of WCW's cruiserweight division. He was an excellent wrestler who could have a good match with anybody.

He originally had a groundswell of support from the fans who appreciated his ability, and 'Lionheart' babyface character. But on WCW Nitro, 'Where the Big Boys Played', he wasn't big enough, or interesting enough to gain any sort of traction.

So he turned heel. He became a paranoid, sniveling, whining character, who was convinced that there was a conspiracy theory against him. Now, WCW being WCW, they still did nothing with him, but the character had legs and got over with the fans.

Sami Zayn's career has followed a similar trajectory.

Excellent wrestler? Yep.

Less than impressive physique compared to others? Yep.

Underappreciated? Yep.

As good a babyface as he was(I found myself cheering him on against Kevin Owens, even though Owens is one of my favorites), he has been an absolute revelation as a heel. I want to punch him every single time his smarmy face shows up on my television.

It needs to be escalated.

More conspiracy theories. Play up his naturally neurotic personality.

More lists about all the submission holds he knows. Play up his wrestling ability.
