Well I mean, every time there’s a new gimmick, they have to give it a chance on tv so it kinda correlates.

Given that A Train was drafted to raw in 2004, and Trish turned heel that year, they could have always put them back together when she broke away from Christian and Tomko, or just had the 2 of them reform, given the division while decent wasn't as stacked as it was in 2000.

primo and epico are given countless chances cause of their out of the ring contribution, both are exceptional and is a popular to be a warm-up partners for returning legends like Rock and Taker

[@stanislawstefanow6093]

idk about Viscera i think he kinda worked in some low key role. as a kid i thought he was intimidating with his size n'all

[@7StarHeryla]

Viscera was probably really well respected backstage and was someone that could be a good first tv opponent for people later in his career probably repackaged just so he didn’t get bored

[@Silenthitman44]

Not really some people didn't like him especially when he intentionally hurt people

[@ZealKingdom]

I remember when Viscera was added to the Ministry around '99 and they billed him at around 485 lbs, and Big Show at over 500 lbs. Even 16 year old me knew there was no way on Earth Paul weighed more than Vis.

[@wendigo1619]

Well Yokozuna was actually half decent in the ring and could pull off s good match with proper opponants **i.e. Brett Hart**

[@andu1854]

Draugre he also had a good record of not seriously hurting his opponents, it’s just his weight got too out of control to ever get back to the top, but o did enjoy his run with Owen as tag champs

[@Djjaims]

I thought viscera was pretty good after his ministry of darkness days. He had some really solid TV matches with some of the biggest stars (cena, undertaker) and the largest love machine gimmick worked well. Underrated IMO.

Why Bloom wasn't just The Giant Bernard character in WWE on his return is beyond me

[@alwaysxnever]

I think Vince had a thing against referencing any gimmicks outside of WWE. It is a shame for sure.

[@JohnWilliams-wl9px]

alwaysxnever He does other wrestlers talked about it. VADER thinks Vince didn’t like after telling him he didn’t want to be called “mastodon” and wanted to still be called Vader. So when Shawn complained about him Vince didn’t hesitate to demote him.

I’d like to see a list of wrestlers given too many prominent storylines: Number 1, HHH...

[@bruiserbrony771]

I'm surprised Goldust/Dustin Rhodes isn't on this list. I think he has the record for most returns to WWE.

[@MephProduction]

but each return he was the same gimmick

[@bruiserbrony771]

@@MephProduction Untrue. His second return to WWE was when he became Goldust. He was Dustin Rhodes in his first run.

[@EMWFigureShelf]

Another person that came to mind: Bull Buchanan, Steve Lombardi, (only talking WWF on this one sort of) Barry Windham

[@LiEv838]

Cant believe they forgot Marty Jennetty, he was fired and rehired bout ten times lol.

[@AshBlossomWorshiper]

My god. I literally forgot hin

[@starflyer77]

This is a minor point, but Ed Leslie's original gimmick was simply Brutus Beefcake, which saw him packaged as a Chippendale knockoff. He gained the "Barber" part after assisting in the conclusion to a hair vs hair match.
