Rehashing Old Gimmicks

[Dave Youell]

No I don't mean LOD 2000.

I mean things like JBL is currently doing, a modern version of an old gimmick (million dollar man).

Orlando Jordan plays his Virgil

It seems that Carlito Carribean Cool is going to be a new Razor Ramon

And now Nova is playing a new Body Donnars style fitness freak gimmick

I don't think this re hashing is all bad, as I have really come to like JBL gimmick, even if i'm not a fan of his wrestling or the fact that he's champ, but the gimmick does work and generates decent heat.

How many more of these do you think are going to be created and who do you think should play them?

Contenders of old gimmicks that I can think of would be things like:

A Yokozuna style big man
A Brutus the barber beefcake
A Honky Tonk Man Style charcter (not like cena, but not like elvis, something else something different)

Well that's all i can really think of.

What's your thoughts?
