Anyway, I think many of the gimmicks from the 80s and early 90s wouldn't get over nowadays. You had dentists, clowns and repomen. Then there's almost everything involving the Undertaker. Kane, the Ministry, etc.

They don't go over now because the WWE is a different animal 10-20 years later. If Taker and Kane weren't already established, they'd probably be ridiculed (Assuming this was a pre-evolved Kane). E*C and the brood's stuff wouldn't have worked either.

Still, some gimmicks transfer well. It's just that there's not really that much of a place for cartoony or supernatural in the current WWE.
