We didn't give our wrestler's their gimmicks, tell them how to dress (most of the time), or how to cut their hair...we booked Motley because we thought he was awesome. I honestly have no clue who Xion is. I'd also be willing to bet that 99% of the 400-500 people that will be there Sept. 12th do either.

No one ever said you told the kid to rip off the gimmick. You're making a bigger deal out of this than it is. Also, you should check out Shiima. Awesome worker getting booked all over the world. And congrats on your draw. Not that bringing it up had anything to do with the conversation. |

I understand JayRep's defensiveness, but yeah, nobody is taking shots at DREAMWAVE. Just this kid who obviously ripped off the gimmick of a somewhat popular guy on the indies. If it's merely a coincidence, then I'll be god damned.
And Jay, you really should know about Shiima Xion. Xion just started working for AAA in Mexico. He's a tremendous talent. Seek him out. If you like this other kids gimmick, then you'll love Xion.

So wait a kid does a rokcer gimick and it's a rip off of Shiima?! I want to make sur eI have this right.. Shiima ORIGINATED the 80's Metal Band gimick that Johnny and Tommy Motley both use as a tag team.. Monster Ballad (Hence the last name.. MOTLEY!!! should have maybe given a tiny clue to where the gimick came from)
Though I guess your right Phil the ONLY place he could have got this Gimick was Shiima because if NO one else on the WHOLE planet could have EVER done a rocker gimick.. I mean Glam Rock, 80's Hair metal it's all the same thing and all created by Shiima.. good to know.

Rican, you cannot argue that the resemblance is striking. You can't blame people that follow the indies to NOT jump to that conclusion. I mean they look EXACTLY alike. Like I said, if it's a coincidence, then it's the most amazing coincidence I've ever seen in wrestling.

Yes your right in a community of how many people across the world?! Two people couldn't possibly EVER end up having he same style hair.. Wow I had never thought out of the THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of people possibly do this (this being wrestling) 2 may look similar.. this is soooooooo un-heard of has never happened in the history of mankind that two people in a larger community could look similar.. He has to be Johnny (who by the way I personally knew before I ever heard of Shiima honestly) stole Shiima's look.. It couldn't be his gimick was inspired but something older...   I mean forget the Zebra Stripes are the same and similar gear and ring attire.. and that he usually wears 80's metal T-shirts with his vest that he removes in ring.. I mean so he has a more MODERN hair style (a VERY Emo hair style that is his day to day look but f**k it he couldnt have just liked that style) which alot of kids have he has to be ripping off Shiima, because he looks like NOTHING else to ever.. Oh all personal sarcasm aside I know where the TAG TEAM got there gimick so I PERSONALLY know what the thought process was as I have known the other member of the team for 8 years.. and it ain't Shiima. |

After seeing the second picture of Motley, I stand corrected. It's just that photo that DREAMWAVE used that makes him look like Xion.

That first pic was a dead ringer though even down to the facial expression. You've gotta see where I was coming from. Can we all hold hands and sing songs by the fire now?  |

It's ok Ben, I like you =)
We don't always agree but that makes it all the better..
Back to Motley though.. he is a good kid who is progressing in ring by leaps and bounds hopefully he is able to show some of what he has to offer to another new audience!
DREAMWAVE has alot of guys on their roster that I like their work alot this will be good for him.

I love some of the banners that come up based on these threads. If you look closely Bret Michaels is totally ripping off Shiima Xion's "pouty face". ;D |

I'll admit that I'm one of the 400-500 fans that will be at the show who has no clue on who Xion is.
