Sometimes the 'occupational' gimmicks work, if its a background character thing (Big Bossman, tough prison guard turned wrestler) or an ongoing element (JBL, Wall Street bigwig)... when it's something as mundane and unremarkable as a wrestling plumber, it makes zero sense, and less sense still that said wrestler would be so devoted to his shitty part time job that he would even wear the uniform whilst wrestling on national TV.
That would be like me getting a job working for WWE back when I was a Domino's store manager, and wearing a Domino's uniform in the ring. Maybe calling myself "The Pizza Man" or some shit. Surely I'd be getting a job as a wrestler to a) better myself and b) get away from my daily grind as a "pizza man", so why base my entire presentation of myself in a wrestling ring on the very thing I am trying to escape? Even from a kayfabe point of view, it makes zero sense... from a critical point of view, even less so.
