It's kind of odd that they don't see that the flag-draped hero gimmick still works today. It just works a lot better as a chewable pill than it does as a suppository. If you put a guy out there in the red, white, and blue and just let the fans warm up to him he'll take off. (Hell Swagger took off in that role when he was supposed to be a damn heel.)
