Do you think more character gimmicks would work nowadays?

That's because WWE takes these guys, sends them to FCW where they get generic porn star names and spend their time developing a character which may or may not fit them. When you had the territories, guys were able to develop on their own and because you had major territories in Calgary, Portland, Texas, and Georgia, there was a mixture of styles because the audience each territory catered to responded to different character traits.

The best characters on tv now are ones that allow guys to be exaggerated versions of themselves or of a lifestyle familiar to them.

Examples:
Randy Orton (Cocky/ kind of an ass/ likes to shit in bags)
CM Punk (Straight edge)
Batista (Read his book... especially fucked up where he talks about boning all the divas)
Miz (Watch dudes old real world)
Jericho (Read his twitter updates)
Mae Young (Slut/ ring rat LOL!)
HHH (GOD)
