Somebody higher-up must be so threatened by this gimmick that he shot it down. I mean...this was such a freaking awesome gimmick and it got over with the fans. I just don't know why WWE cut it off so quickly...
I love corny gimmicks like this. It's great when WWE doesn't take itself too seriously. The fact that Burchill is a pretty good wrestler doesn't hurt at all.
@Luffymon88 And he doesn't know how to get rid of something that everyone hates, like John Cena stupid gimmick, his stupid finisher... well, John Cena.
Oh, what could have been! For a few short weeks, this guy was absolutely my favorite wwe superstar. I really saw the pirate gimmick going places for many years before the joke got old.
They really do. It would bring in ratings so fast it isn't even funny. They need to let him be back as Pirate captain and Katie Lea can be his Pirate Wench!
this was the best gimmick ever and i love this theme entrance i could picture paul and katie lea swinging to the ring with that rope that he used to do.
Burchill needs to go back to the Pirate gimmik, the gimmik now hes doin is gettin him no where plus the pirate gimmik would make him a better fit on ECW
I wish he would go back to this gimmick and leave katie lea burchill...That would be cool.Because what has the grem reaper gimmick shown for him?NOTHING just that he's a heel superstar and he loses to almost every superstar in the wwe today!So I Say he should go back to being a pirate!
this gimmick was stupid at the start, but even i fell over for it, i would have changed one thing though, he's not from st. thomas in the virgin islands, i would have dubbed him from bristol,england, after all, it's the home town of blackbeard and that swashbuckling football team bristol rovers. he would have to have a bristol accent though, aargh ye matey.
Lol except the WWE had to call it Walking the Plank ugggg! lol there must have been better, pirate related names for the C4 X marks the Spot, The Black Spot ANYTHING
I admit though C4 does sound a bit boring, and too much like F5
Mute this and play "He's a Pirtate" from Kingdom Hearts II and it fits perfectly.
