I would have said ridiculous "second job" gimmicks, but those seem to be making a comeback...

A good intro to Raw/Smackdown. From 1998-2003 those openings always got you pumped.
They've switched to a more "pop" type of sound for their openings, and they feature more graphics than wrestlers

It's not weird, but old school PPV reports.

Wrestlers wearing street clothes or suits instead of their tights during talking and backstage segments. Majorly seconded (although that isn't necessarily wierd). Keeping with the theme: The "Previously on RAW" thing they were doing for a minute Cheesy romance/wedding angles |

That drumbreak in Eve's last theme before leaving, with her walking sassily with a disingenuous smile on her face.

The "Pre-Raw Pix" that WWE put on its website before the show started. Many times they had photos of the ring and stage being constructed, which I thought was neat. One memorable photo showed Snitsky arriving at the arena in a dress shirt and tie, with this big shit-eating grin on his face.
The little interview stage off to the side of the aisle. It was a staple of 90s WWE shows, and the company brought it back once or twice during the 2000s--I remember Kid Kash moonsaulting off it and onto Juventud Guerrera. It also made an appearance at the first Old-School Raw.

Wrestling talk shows that had their own unique, non-ring set. As opposed to just said regular wrestling ring with some couches and bullshit in it.

Kamala. Savage gimmicks in general really, if Umaga could get over I think that a Kamala inspired gimmick could work now.
