I mean most of those WWF gimmicks from the late 80s and early 90s are getting bushed.

A barber that moonlights as a stripper...:francis:

Two guys dressed in S&M garb....:francis:


Kamala wouldn't make it past the cutting room floor and the guy that pitched it probably wouldn't have that job much longer.

  • Ultimate Warrior-The smarks would eat him alive and give him the Roman treatment
  • Bret Hart-"He's a vanilla midget"
  • HBK- :mjpls:
  • The Bushwackers- Endeavored the moment they get fed to The New Day
  • Stone Cold- His gimmick would get gutted especially in the WWE:snoop:
  • RVD- Not enough flips
  • Sabu- Not enough scars
  • Sting-:ld:Why he got the blond hair?
If RVD still had his run in ECW before coming over people would still love him.

A lot of the major gimmicks/stars wouldn't work in today's WWE. That's why I just :comeon: when people say shyt like Cena would be midcard at best in the Attitude Era. Cena would get over in any era. Any megastar from the past would be corny in this era. Taker would be Wyatt status. Rock would be Cena status. Stone Cold would be Dean Ambrose status.

A lot of these characters wouldn't get over today because we actually saw them in the past. A lot of dudes that have been listed, had they never existed in the past, they maybe could've rocked out today. But it's impossible to separate the two, even in a hypothetical.
