Let me think...
Red Rónin. The 6'10'' monster from Japan who comes to the ring in a black and gold robe and wears a red lucha mask with little horns because I couldn't find an appropriate samurai mask or helmet in the options. His gimmick is that he is a samurai (obviously) who hits like a truck, but can't take much punishment (because I never bothered leveling up his stamina in season mode) so every match with him is much like a duel between two high level fencers, whoever draws first blood wins. His signature is the Daikatana (clotheline from hell) and his finisher is the Kamikaze Eclipse (top rope moonsault). I was really proud of that name because it really conjures up the image of the sky turning black just before this giant comes crashing down on you from before. Very much a one-dimensional heel monster, pretty much destined to get Cena'd unless he could find his niché in a tag-team or something.
Alexej Vaneck. Generic Eastern European MMA man, complete with douchey tattoos, baldcut, perma-stubble and scars from hardcore wrestling in "unsanctioned underground fights held in Moscow basements" (I think I even gave him Batista's dragon one but on his right hand rather than on his back) Depending on the day of the week he's billed from Russia, Poland or Romania because I could never really decide. The biggest gimmick that he ever had was that he would take personal items from the wrestlers he defeated as trophies and use them in his own entrances for the rematches like Eddie's lowrider, Undertaker's hat, Rey's and Kane's masks and so on. Very generic strikes and submissions for his moveset, knee trembler and triple German suplexes for signature moves, rear naked choke (sleeper hold, really) for a finisher. This guy would die to death in WWE, best he could hope for would be as a stepping stone for the hot new babyfaces to overcome.
The last one was named after myself and was pretty much half Raven, half heel rapper Cena, a social outcast and warrior poet who's promos earned him a bit a of a cult following that he feeds of, pushing him from a sad but harmless human wreck to dangerous erratic thug. His finishing sequence is called the CBD (Cumulative Brain Damage) which is just a series of as many variations of the DDT as the game lets you do culminating in a piledriver. I could probably see him go far. Never quite main event but upper midcard at the very least.

I mostly remember getting these CAWs from the internet when I was playing Wrestlemania 2000 a lot back in the day. They are not my original CAWs, but they were CAWs I chose to make.
Flyboy- A tall, muscular guy who had power and strength but also quick as lightning and a high-flyer. Think of him as a much more muscular Jeff Hardy with a style similar to Rob Van Dam for spin kicks and flip moves, and Triple H, because he had the running knee and Pedigree. There is no doubt he would be over like rover.
Craven- Looks similar to Raven, but has a scar on his eye and has somewhat of a dark gimmick, not much different than Raven, but he doesn't have the grunge thing going. He wears tights with a shirt. He had power moves and used submissions with a little bit of high-flying. He would probably be over.
Demon- A guy with a dark gimmick, and in my mind, he is Craven's tag team partner. He is a technical wrestler with high-flying moves. I would think that he would be somewhat of a sidekick to Craven, but they would be like The Unholy Duo or something. He would be IC champ while Craven would be WWF champion but they would also hold the tag team belts.

Abraham "Hot Rod" Lincoln, with his stove pipe hat, Brock Samson physique and Chippendales-inspired ring attire would usher in a new boom period when he strikes jabronis down with the Emancipator. This gimmick sounds f***ing AMAZING.

I think many of the characters I've seen in the CAW wrestling show community (which I'm a part of) could possibly get over IRL with enough attention paid to character development. Some of the angles, characters and matches I've seen generated on those shows can be genuinely enjoyable.
On the other hand, many characters I've seen on those shows rely more on appearance/attire instead of character development. Stone Cold would get more criticism than praise in the CAW world.

A few of them probably, I know two of them would have people on here complaining they were outdated

My favourite is Dante. Dante was created on Here Comes the Pain in a "who can create a more f***ed-up character" contest with my brother. Dante is 7'0'' but very lean, black with a rainbow-coloured afro. He wore rainbow cow-print tights, a Michael Jackson glove and red boots, and his facial hair (handle-bar and sideburns) was an odd mix of colours. His moveset was HBK's with some flying moves mixed in. His nickname was 'The Big Black Lollypop'.
I played well as Dante so I made him in every game since, with cooler-looking but somehow even more garish clothes and several remixed versions of 'Lollypop' as his entrance theme. His demeanour was the main point of his character - even though he dressed like an entire Pride Parade and his tag team partner John O'Licious (my brother's messed-up CAW, gay punk with a Hitler moustache) acted like a lunatic prostitute, Dante remained completely serious, all-business badass. His finishing moves, the Lollygagger (Superkick) and Lollypop Drop (moonsault with pelvic thrust taunts) led him to several world titles and wins over HBK, John Cena and Brock Lesnar.
I think he'd've got some attention.

I would certainly hope not. My main Persona is the result of trying to see where rational limits are in an E-Fed when it comes to a character. Rationality did not exist, outside of no superpowers or anything too outlandish.
The other, I could live with. He's a luckless sumbitch that has to rent his gear from the promotion because he signed a contract that pays him nothing, he has approximately one fan (not his mom), and is forever chased by a rogue mariachi band that serves no purpose other than to antagonize him. He's also won a World Championship by accident. Him I could get behind, main Persona...god no. Not anymore.

Anyone else think because of the disproportionate way they made their CAWs that, if they existed, they would be super susceptible to injury and likely sidelined with the worst luck?

I made this gigantic, deformed BDSM dude with a green zebra print harness and pink zebra print pants. He looked like someone hit a mean baby with a growth ray, and he tore shit up. I called him Bad Baby Justice and he kicked a whole f***ing lot. He would be over as hell.

In SvR 2006 - A thin, blonde, 6'11 diva by the name of "Jenga". Why? Because she was stacked. Of course she would get over!

I have a masked Luchador named El Diablo that wears a mask with demonic horns on it and is Sin Cara's arch nemesis. I don't think he has World Champ potential or anything, but I think WWE fans would love seeing him tear the house down with Hunicara in opening matches and stuff.

I also once made a darn near perfect Dave Thomas of Wendy's to feud with my Col. Sanders. That was one of my favorites.

Thinking about it, there was one other CAW I made that I think actually could get over, but probably more in Mexico than WWE. I called him Rorschach, and basically I took Rey Mysterio and made his skin chalk white and covered his costume and mask in white blotches like an ink blot test and had him do all lucha/high flying moves.

Yeah I can see Uncle Chester the child molester breaking the glass ceiling, ok I didn't created uncle Chester, he actually wrestled a triple threat with colt cabana and Chris hero, cabana was dressed as a Twinkie and couldn't use his arms. Google it, uncle Chester was different to say the least In one indy promotion I worked for had a wrestler who needed a "one night only" gimmick. He wore street clothes, borrowed someones duster and one of the guys ran out and got him a bag of lollipops. He was announced as the following: "From the Dark Side of Sesame Street: MOE LESTER" Some of the people in the crowd laughed, kids got excited, parents dragged their kids away when Moe tried to give the kids lollipops. The guys in the back were cracking up. And to stick to the topic: A wrestler who was found in a Veteran's Hospital, suffering with a severe multiple personality disorder. Each of the personalities was someone in his unit that was killed in an IED attack. He was hard to scout because he would change wrestling styles depending on which personality took over during the match.

I have good ideas but I'm not good at making CAW's. I'm going to sit down one day and make Eugene Nagata and Uncle Si-back. I'm sure they'd be cannon fodder but I make CAW's to amuse me and not you.

Probably not. the Caw that I made was kind of a mix of Ric Flair, William Regal and my own dry sarcasm dialed up to 10. He wouldn't be anything special if he wasn't given time and I doubt he would be.

Possibly. He's kinda a Mary Sue for myself, 6'1, muscular, moveset's more striking and technical grappling based. In fact, I used to pretty much just give him Regal's moveset. Got kinda a pretty boy, British brawler vibe going, but can back it up, turned face a few times but usually reverts back to heel. Finisher tends to rotate between the Regal Stretch, a Superkick or a Bullhammer (Will probably switch up to the Superman punch if it's in the next game.)
My old CAWs, not so much. Was pretty much just me and my friends with tonnes of tattoos, Mankind masks and all 6'6+. But hey, we ran the tag team division!
