re: History Repeats Itself/The reoccuring gimmicks

I agree with you. I don't watch wrestling much anymore because of this. It's so predictable and everything gets repeated. If i miss some of it i don't mind cause i could say what would have happened and be right.

JBL is a total rip-off of Ted DiBiase. The only difference is, he doesn't do the Million Dollar moves.

How original. [/sarcasm]

Million DOllar Man and JBL both own. If DiBiase weren't so Christian now, how badass would those two be together? JBL as the Million Dollar Champion 2K4

But was DiBiase the legit financial genius that JBL is? No...so DiBiase sure wouldn't be wearing the business suit in that pairing! And so what if he's a Christian? Look at guys like HBK and Sting. You don't see them preaching in the ring, do you?

Mark Jindrak has Lex Luger's gimmick.

If JBL is like Ted DiBiase, then I guess Orlando Jordan is like Virgil. And when JBL got some guy from the crowd to wax his limo for money, that's like when Ted DiBiase payed someone from the crowd to kiss his foot. The person who kissed his foot was actually Rob Van Dam.

Has anyone ever noticed that gimmicks will revive such as the whole unamerican thing e.g. rene dupree and kenzo susuki
I never noticed this until you pointed it out.

What's even more terrifying is all the replies to this thread.

re: History Repeats Itself/The reoccuring gimmicks

The Heart Throbs are clearly ripoffs of Billy and Chuck, the ambiguously gay duo of WWE. The only problem is that we have seen this gimmick too recently for it to shock or amuse us anymore. From the look of things, the writers agree; the team has scarcely been pushed since arriving a few weeks ago.

Woah, are you on some kind of quest to drag up old threads today?

I'd say the Heart-throbs were more like a combination of Billy & Chuck and early Too Cool. Too Cool were ambigously gay in their beginnings as a team and I think the Heart-throbs are playing it a bit more along the lines of the way they did.

Another couple of repeated gimmicks for you:

Stuttering: Bubba Dudley -> Goldust -> Matt Morgan
Narcissist: Lex Luger -> Mark Jindrak -> Chris Masters

i annoyed me when people said that Mordecai was a Taker knock off, he did none of his moves! Even his gimmick wasnt that similar!

re: History Repeats Itself/The reoccuring gimmicks

Well i noticed this one obvious example of history repeating itself, the invasion angle. Ever noticed how some WWE superstars plan on invading the ECW one night stand PPV? Kind of reminds you of the time ECW invaded the WWE, eh?
