A good feud needs wrestlers to have good gimmicks, now at the moment alot of people either have crap gimmicks or no gimmick at all.
a few good gimmicks for me would be:
Ken Kennedy
Same sort of gimmick that Stone Cold adopted, DTA. This wasn't originally my idea, somebody else, i think gaff, came up with this and it just seems perfect for him
If he were neither heel or face, just floating in between, he'd be a real fan favourite against most. His finisher is kinda crappy aswell, why not give him the stunner aswell?
Big Show
At the moment he's got nothing to go for, he'd be good as an enforcer for someone, sort of like what bam neeley is for chavo, for a faction preferably, maybe could be used in la famila if it's not already too overcrowded?
Batista
Batista needs to turn heel, and hopefully from his current angle he will, i think he'd be good as one half of a power/speedy tag team, would make tag team more intresting for the die hard batista fans and would give another wrestler a chance to perform on a higher level, someone like Charlie Haas would be perfect. Batista just isn't good enough for main event, but is probably just right for tag team divison.

I like the Batista idea. Think he could work really well in the tag team division with someone speedy. But...as with the u.s. title division there is a severe lack of faces, so....
la familla looks to splitting up so that idea seems to be out of the window, but as an enforcer would be good, but then you cut off his mic time, which I enjoy, he's good at it.
ken Kennedy taking a stone cold-style gimmick could do wonders for his career and i hope he does take it up. i agree he needs a new finisher, something quick and snappy, like the stunner, but not the stunner, how about an RKo where they land on their backs instead?

Reverse RKO? wouldn't be a bad idea.
Batista could also be an enforcer bit still keep his mic time, but instead he would stick to what he IS good at, getting angry and making threats. A man his size can be very believable to be the intimidating member of a tag team.
Same goes for Show as an enforcer he could also get on the mic now and then

Not a neckbraker as such, maybe twisting in mid air, although im not sure kennedy could ull that off, and im not sure that many could sell it!

He would get mic-time but not as much as I think he deserves.
batista could be a enforcer yes, and he's best off the mic, or like you said, getting angry and making threats.

That's why it wouldn't work, this comparing to Austin thing is getting tiresome, lets shave him bald and call him luke warm Ken Kennedy, while where at it.
Whats wrong with the mic check?

Just looks shit. Although he is not gonna get a new finisher, the mic check is fairly new.
Has this comparing to Austin been going on already then? apoligies i think i missed it.
... luke warm ken kennedy lmao! I still think it would suit him and would make him far better, but if they make him too much like Austin it would be awful, too many people would compare him to austin and completely dislike it

Good point, I like his current moveset as it is but I think it needs to be tweaked a little bit. I also think his character needs to be slightly altered and that is what is happening at the moment.

and??
Cena is good mates with Orton, but that doesn't mean he's going to start shitting in divas bags, or RKO'ing hotel staff, left right and center.
People are so desperate for someone to be the "next Austin", that they see things that aren't there.

elijah burke.
oh on the game SVR i found a good move for someone whos athletic, its like a reverse ddt, but you like float over them first backwards, hard to explain. not like a float over ddt, more like elijahs corner elbow but on a person. would be good on bigger guys too, beleivable pain etc.
---------
bazz im not calling him the next austin, i loved austin. was just noting his face morph.

HBK/Jericho/Morrison/ and some of the lightweights.
I'm not just talking about you really sexton, lots of people say the same thing, and the only real connections are 1)there mates and 2) they both wear black.
