Top 5 Gimmicks That Eric Young Needs To Use

  1. Religious Messiah Gimmick
    Eric Young as a religious messiah would be insane. He could build a cult-like following and create constant distractions for Ricky Sosa, costing him matches and driving everyone crazy with mind games.

  2. Charity Anti-Hero
    Eric Young needs a Charity Anti-Hero run. He could act like he’s doing everything “for the greater good” while using sneaky mercy tactics to manipulate referees and control matches in his favor.

  3. Educational Class Maniac
    This one is gold. Eric Young should nickname himself “The Educational Class Maniac” and cut wild promos like he’s teaching a deranged class. It would be chaotic and hilarious.

  4. Canadian-Based Military Gimmick
    Bring back the hardcore military side of EY. He could use his tactical, no-nonsense skills to hunt down the X-Division Championship and take it from Leon Slater in brutal fashion.

  5. Music-Based Star / Dance Moves Gimmick
    A slow-burn storyline where Eric Young becomes a music-obsessed star with crazy dance moves. It could build over time and become one of the most entertaining things in TNA history.
