Gimmicks you would love to see return...

I agree... I think someone like that could work in the modern era, as long as it was clear that they were nuts like The Joker rather than a 'real' clown.

The gimmick was great, but nobody could ever do it as well as Matt Bourne. He made that character work.

Yeah, you're not wrong... in hindsight, it's a great shame they never let Matt run with the evil clown. They turned him face and it was all downhill from there!

Also, no offence meant to the vertically challenged, but bringing in Dink was fracking awful!

I'd forgotten about The Berzerker! Ha! Remember when he attacked Taker with his sword? The Headshrinkers were pretty cool in a 90s sort of way. Also, bring back Kamala!

Unforgetable.... well maybe not....

Huss! Huss! Huss!!

Seriously though, I'd love to see another Goldberg gimmick. Someone to quietly come in from nowhere and just rack up 100 wins dominating everyone. But where do you find a guy who can pull that off? And how do you get the upper tier egos to put someone like that over by jobbing to them?

Thing about Goldberg was, the vast majority of his opponents during his streak were jobbers. Plus he couldn't sell offense, and was so hilariously bad in the ring that it bordered on dangerous. This is the man who ended Bret Hart's career afterall.
Nonetheless, it was a very good angle for WCW. It seemed as if WWE were heading in this direction with Alberto Del Rio (a competent wrestler!) at first which would've been awesome..... until Mysterio the Ego refused to do the job. (yet a-fuckin-gain)

The original Doink (Matt Bourne?) modified the gimmick into a more Joker-style lately in the indies. There's a picture somewhere on the net.

I would say Big Evil, but they tried that with Chuck Palumbo an it didn't go over very well.

But the one gimmick I'd love to see back in the WWE would have to be the APA gimmick. I already know TNA copied APA's gimmick but I would love to see it again in the WWE

chuck palumbo sucked at every possible degree
talk about trying to revive the undertaker's badass attitude
chuck was even pretending to be hanging around with michelle mccool the undertaker's current wife.
