Gimmick/Character changes

It's not enough for a wrestler to go away and be off screen for X number of weeks and come back with a new personna. That's just not believable, and it's the Vince McMahon school of thought. Fans aren't idiots

Gimmick changes need to happen in full view of the audience. Fans aren't able to get behind a new character unless they understand where this person has come from. It is essential for those watching to be able to identify and relate to a gimmick in this way.
