Report: 'American Psycho' Gimmick Planned For Injured WWE Talent's Return

Though Dennis Knight - who most famously wrestled as Phineas I. Godwinn and Mideon - hasn't been with WWE for over two decades, the former European Champion is still helping those within the company work on their characters. 

During a recent appearance on The Undertaker's Six Feet Under podcast, Knight noted that he's currently working on a gimmick for Shotzi that is inspired by American Psycho. 

"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 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 TV, 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, she 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," the 55-year-old said.

Bret Easton Ellis' novel American Psycho was released in 1991 and adapted into a film in 2000. Starring Christian Bale in the role of Patrick Bateman, the film was a modest financial success and has since become a cult classic. 

Shotzi is currently on the injured list after suffering a torn ACL while competing at the February 13 NXT TV tapings. 

WWE recently filed to trademark the name 'Shotzi Blackheart'.
