Hardcore brawler who "wrestles" in a shirt and baggy pants. Does that count? You mean CZW?

How many has there actually been? Four? Three of them being in a stable together. I'm sure there might have been a few in the indies before The Brood but those ar the only top promotion ones I can think of.

Here's another one I thought is being WAY used too much.
Before "The Montreal Screwjob" the authority part of pro wrestling was rarely heard or it came to a vote from "The Promotion's President" in an office rather having an actual figure. "The Montreal Screwjob" changed that when Vinnie Mac was revealed as the owner & President of WWE.
Now it seems like every promotion has to have at LEAST one guy or girl that has to play the "owner/general manager" role.

(WCW in 94-5) Promotions always had on-screen authority figures. Always.

They just appeared, declared what was going to happen, & disappear.

I'm sure there might have been a few in the indies before The Brood but those ar the only top promotion ones I can think of. Gangrel Vampiro (who was more goth than an actual Vampire) Judas Mesias (his TNA run) Kevin Thorn also Fred Blassie once used a Vampire gimmick in the early part of his career Hardly overused really

There always seems to be a vampire character in every show.

That's more a trait than a gimmick, really, pretty much EVERY face at least in the last 25 years has been a 'never say die' guy.

Asian martial arts master I KNOW RIGHT! You think, by now, we could move or progress past this. ^See above. "I've got all this money! I got stacks of 20's and 5's. I'll even buy off the ref." Does your local promotion's "Patriotic babyface" wrestle in camo shorts...or tights with an American flag motif? Do they come out to a triumphant march or the patriotic country song? Well...at least this guy normally has cool hair and bright tattoos. He also uses neat submissions. "I bleed and take chairshots to hid my lack of ability" guy "Check out my crrrrrazy beard!!! Anyone here like RATT?" Masked highflying pseudo luchador All the kids want to have their picture taken with Roy Myssterio.

Maybe somebody should come out with an "always say die" babyface gimmick. Boss: "Listen Johnny, you may think you're smart rebelling against the Boss-" Johnny: "I'm not that smart." Boss: "Yeah, well anyway...for punishment, you're going up against Angryface McBadguy and Baron Evil in a HANDICAP MATCH!" Johnny: "I, uh...can't overcome those odds. Can I forfeit now?"

The Rick Rude/Val Venis-esque ladykiller heel. I remember when the WWF was doing the early Tough Enough's and they would have all the hopefuls come up with there own characters and it seemed like almost every one of them did a variation of this. I think the guys they finally picked for the show were probably the only one's who didn't do this.
