RVD - ONce you get past Robbie V - same name and gimmick (pot smoking hippie) for his career

 

Mr. Monday night isn't quite relevant nowadays though, and that was his "big" gimmick in the late 90's.

As far as tweaks though what about Undertaker? Excluding the American Badass thing his outfits have always eveolved, he's had different music and the original style he had compared to the ministry era were quite different but arguably it's been the same lightning shooting living dead gimmick from day 1

 

We could just not bother arguing the finer points in the Undertakers case because:

 

- Previously in WCW he was Mean Mark Callous.

- Apparantly, he was once billed as Cain the Undertaker. I never seen it with my own eyes though.

Flair,

Lod,

Big Show,

Hogan,

Warrior, shiat most people really. Jericho, guerrero, benoit, saturn, list goes on and on and on.

 

 

LOD were the Road Warriors in AWA, Japan and NWA/WCW

 

Big Show was the Giant in WCW

 

The Warrior was not the Ultimate Warrior, different name.

 

Jericho's gimmick in WCW differed from in WWF, and arguably the same can be said for the others.

 

I have just thought of Mr. Hughes (WCW, WWF, ECW)

 

Flair was rambling ric rhodes

Even by your own pathetic standards, this has to be something of a low.

Plus, going from WWE to TNA is hardly impressive (even if he did have the same name, which he didn't).

 

This thread is about long term gimmicks that lasted all over the place. 2 companies is hardly a feat.

 

Oh, and he was Billy G, too. How that didn't get him into the Main Events I'll never know!
