The point of the excercise was to see if anyone struck you as being able to successfully pull off something someone else has already done as if they were the first to do it. Admittedly, (save MVP who I could see being a decent analogue for Flair) I pulled names out of a hat for the 4 Horsemen thing, but it was kind of just for example on what I was asking. Yes, someone like Austin took themselves and amped it to 11, but again, the point is not the origin of the character, just taking the character as you know it and apply it to someone else in the wrestling world you could see it working with. It wasn't meant for so much logic or picking apart the examples.
Obviously, someone like Undertaker took what was, on paper, a really shitty character and molded it into something iconic. I was just asking if Mark Calloway were never the Dead Man, who could you see being fairly believable doing that deal? Do you think it could've worked out if Michaels was thrown through the Barber Shop window and we get HBK Marty Janetty? If "fake Razor Ramon" were Razor Ramon in the first place, (or anyone you choose... AND I KNOW HALL MADE THE CHARACTER UP AND IT WASNT SOME WRITER)do you think would it work out? Who could you see being a believable "Mr. Perfect" if it were never Hennig? These are another example of what I was going for. The point wasn't to agree or disagree with what I threw out there. It was just to be an excercise in fun.
