Right now, WWE has the following "out there" gimmicks:
An evil dancer
2 Matadors with a man/bull hybrid
A zombie mortician
The devil's favorite demon who now works an office job
A crazy swamp cult
All seem goofy on paper - all have acheived some level of success (obviously a huge difference in the level, though) in the current WWE.
So how far could they go?
I think WWE could honestly have a wrestling robot and pull it off. Put a talented high flyer in a silver suit with some LED lights in it. Have him come out to techno music with some cool lighting effects. His promos would be filtered through a voice modulator to sound all cool and metallic.

I always thought a monkey manager would work very well and get over huge.

If Chikara's taught us anything, it's that any gimmick can get over in the right hands.

Wasn't Cena's Prototype gimmick some sort of robot? I might just be imagining things. |

I've always wanted to see some mad scientist manage a wrestler and the whole gimmick is him constantly trying to improve his wrestler with various surgeries/drugs/biomechanical implants.

I think they could get a sleepwalker gimmick over. A wrestler is a world class in-ring talent, but only when he's sound asleep. The second he wakes up, he's just a normal guy, and he has no idea what he did when he was sleeping. It would be pure wrestlecrap, but it could be an over gimmick.
