Nobody is gonna say "Shawn Micheals who?" because everyone on Earth knows who he is. He's got personality. He's got showmanship. He does NOT have a gimmick.

Your definition of the term 'gimmick' is very exclusive. You need to understand that the general opinion of a gimmick can be something very minor. For instance, HHH's gimmick is that he's a badass that will do anything in his power to keep the World title, he's the cerebral assassin, etc. Michaels' gimmick (pre- born again Christian) was being a cocky showman who would never quit in any match. There are different degrees of gimmicks, and while the Undertaker has a very developed gimmick, others like Christian and Jericho have less degree of gimmick.
