| Skye Reynolds 12/29/19 8:22:19 PM #28: | The late 80s and early 90s had some fantastic gimmicks. The Million Dollar Man, the Big Boss Man, Ultimate Warrior, the Undertaker, Jake the Snake, etc. Then they started shoveling out awful gimmicks like a minotaur, a garbage man (who wasn't allowed to hit people with a trash can), a hockey player, a race car driver, etc. I can only assume there was a changing of the guard as far as the company's creative team was concerned. Sometimes, the line isn't obvious. If an American police officer is a good gimmick, and a Canadian Mountie is an okay gimmick, what's wrong with a disgruntled hockey player? Whatever the case, the WWE seems scared to ever go back to trying occupation based gimmicks or larger than life personas. The most personality wrestlers get are in "tribute" gimmicks which echo superstars from the past. --- No it's not over til it's over and you throw away the tree.
