If you mean good gimmicks that were underexposed in their day and therefore could be given another shot today without inevitable comparisons (rather than main event gimmicks being reused):

Waylon Mercy
Red Rooster (the original 'I can turn anyone into a star' gimmick, not the eventual 'Terry Taylor now believes he's a chicken' gimmick)
"Devil's Advocate" (Sean O' Haire)
Se7en (would make a good foe for the Undertaker)
"The Redneck" Dave Schultz
Bad News Brown... oh wait... they got Ezekiel, right?

I think that Mercy only could really work with Dave Spivey I mean all he was, was a southern Con man. It was Dave that gave the character it's appeal. Now when you say Se7en do you mean the "Child Abductor"ish Dustin Rhodes was gonna do in WCW or Raven's gimmick he was gonna do?

I'm tempted to say the Loose Cannon gimmick of Brian Pillman could have really gotten over now and a lot better than it did when it was done.

And possibly the black hart gimmick of Owen's

If it were not done already, something like the nWo with John Cena joining some top heels would be pretty fucking epic.
