Mideon Is Working On ‘American Psycho’ Gimmick For Shotzi, Says Wrestlers Have Asked For His Help

Mideon says wrestlers have reached out for his help on character development.

Mideon’s range of gimmicks in WWE lacks a variety of creatively deep and thought-provoking characters. Naked Mideon, who saw him enter the ring wearing nothing but a fanny pack, and Phineas I. Godwinn have their place in WWE history, which is not oft-praised. Still, the man behind the characters does have a knack for creativity.

During his most recent appearance on the Six Feet Under podcast with The Undertaker, the former WWE Tag Team Champion revealed that some wrestlers have begun reaching out to him for help with their gimmicks and that he’s currently working on an “American Psycho”-inspired gimmick for injured WWE Superstar Shotzi.

“I was asked by a couple of people to ‘help them out’ on their returns, ideas for stories. So I really kind of got this ‘American Psycho’ thing working for Shotzi, who I love. I see her as a roller derby…did she not fit the roller derby thing? Although I’ve kind of went in an ‘American Psycho’ thing, where she’s kind of been sitting at home, and see the video of her, and there’s two TVs, there’s a TV in front of her, and she’s watching the current women’s stable wrestle, and there’s a TV next to her with the ending of ‘Texas Chainsaw’, where all you hear is chainsaws, so she goes kind of insane a little bit. Then she’s just obsessed with horror movies, which she already is, and then we kind of influence that, and we can even use certain famous tropes or scenes from horror movies as set-ups, like when the Wyatt Sicks dusted through Gorilla and left everybody down. You can do smaller versions of that with her. Tied to a chair made of human bones, have her opponent tied to a chair and have her reciting crazy poetry.”

Shotzi suffered a  torn ACL during the NXT TV tapings on February 13 in a match against Lyra Valkyria. She recently stated that she was undergoing stem cell treatment. Learn more here.
