Rehashing Old Gimmicks

I don't think the WWE is intentionally rehashing old gimmicks. They've had A LOT of gimmicks, so it's hard to come up with one, that hasn't kind of already been done before.

You could basically look at most of the wrestlers on the Raw and Smackdown roster and link them to older gimmicks. A big example would be John Cena to Stone Cold Steve Austin. Always going against the boss, doing what he wants, and saying what he wants. Chris Benoit to Bret Hart. Randy Orton to Rick Rude (That's at least what I think of). Luther and Tomco to Diesel.

It's hard to be 100% original these days, considering a lot of gimmicks have been done. I give you a lot of credit on the Million Dollar Man reference.. Even if I exclude the Virgil refernece.
