Mick Foley played multiple successful characters over the years and so did Hulk Hogan. He was the All-American babyface in the 80s, which was obviously successful. But in the 90s, he played another successful character, the heel Hollywood Hulk Hogan. So who else had more than one successful character/gimmick throughout their careers?

Bradshaw did two really successfully. As one half of the Acolytes/APA, then as JBL.
Sure, he was also Blackjack Bradshaw...but I think criteria was "successful".

Taker went from evil undead zombie to a biker then to like a evil undead zombie....cowboy?
Jericho's gone from a flamboyant clever, trendy, catchphrase spouting face or heel to a SRS business suit and trunks wearing know-it-all heel.
Sting was a surfer muscle dude to a crow like avenger.

John Tenta did it. (Earthquake/Avalanche/Shark/Golga) Dennis Knight did it too. (Phineas I. Godwin, Mideon, Naked Mideon) There are many others, I'm sure, I just can't figure them out. Plus, if you wanna be specific and say that none of the characters could be WrestleCrap inductees, we might be here a while seeding through the mess.

I mean, what was so different about a big fat guy in spandex from one name to the next? And Mortis to Kanyon.

Well by that logic, what's so different about an orange muscle head from one name to the next?

Charlie Haas went through a time where his gimmick changed every week. On that note, Big Show before him.

Brian Christopher and Scott Taylor? The 2 Cool gimmick was really over with the fans and from what I remember they were an awesome heel team as Too Much. Plus, they changed their whole look and personalities, it wasn't just a simple name change.
