Gimicks for bih guys have always been a problem. Big Show was uncomfortable for a long time trying to find his niche, as was Kane. Syd is a better example, he could never really get past the gimick of...being tall!
The trick is going to come when you find something new that surpasses the standard "monster" role. Yeah, being the biggest badass is cool for a while, but there are only so many ways you can take that. I would suggest subtracting some stage direction and adding more dialoge to our posts and you might want to give Vigor a stronger personality. Make him a jerk, as well as a destructive force. Make him an oblivious dork if you want. Make him a dumb jock, eveybody hates dumb jocks. The sky is the limit.
Or give him a gimick based around the TV Title. Have him try to re-write network schedualing because he is te champion of TV! Or have him act like famopus Tv stars or quote a lot of TV shows. Hey, it worked for such greats as D'Lo Brown and Al Snow.....okay bad example, but try whatever best suites you.
Never do a gimick you're uncomfortable with, it only makes rp-ing that much harder. Good Luck
