Bubba Ray Dudley spoke with a cartoonish redneck accent for his first 6 months or so in the WWF. I think he dropped it around the same time they changed the spelling of his name. For his first few months in the WWF, Benoit would blow snot on his grounded opponents. It was even one of his taunts in No Mercy. He did the same in WCW and it may have been a taunt in those as well.

Hornswoggle originally being called Little Bastard I think he talked as well at first, I remember during their feud with Boogeyman/Little Boogey he would tell Finlay how scared he was of the duo. I think it was No Way Out 2007.

They once implied Harper and Rowan were some sort of sex offenders when they said their urges made them pariahs before joining solace in the Wyatt Family.

I wonder if current Becky is still an expert in Irish dancing.

Speaking of, wasn't it originally implied that Rowan was autistic and Harper was a former policeman/ex-military when the Wyatt Family were first introduced?

Stephanie had a personal trainer, who became an on screen presence. Showed up on Heat once.
Quickly dropped the angle because they thought it may have given the impression that Steph was fat at some stage. *gasp*

Mason Ryan also had the gimmick of former Rugby player. Both even were said to have been banned because they were "too violent". Ha, a friend works with Ryan's Sister. He was terrible at rugby at school apparently

That's pretty much the going theory, that she overdid the dancing so they'd get rid of it.

Johnny Curtis acting out proverbs backstage.
Darren Young was a party animal on NXT.
Luke Gallows. When was the last time they said he was Festus?
“Hi, I’m Dolph Ziggler.”
Ezekiel Jackson as a bodyguard from Harlem.
Vladimir Kozlov as a plant who always said “I Love Double Double E”
Cody Rhodes. I don’t think they’ve ever alluded to his Dashing phase or his face damage in ages.
Lord Tensai. He was originally a wrestler who went to Japan and embraced its culture. He had a personal assistant and wore robes. Then all of a sudden he was dancing with Brodus Clay.
Speaking of Brodus Clay...WWE seems to have erased everything he did pre-Funkasaurus from canon.
Rusev the Russian...that ended quickly after he lost the US title to Cena. Also, Lana is nowadays nothing like the businesswoman-type she debuted as.
Whatever happened to Bray’s Hawaiian shirts?
Dean Ambrose as a lunatic fringe.
Wasn’t Miz’s original gimmick that of a washed up reality star.
R-Truth’s imaginary friend Little Jimmy.

Kofi being from Jamaica in original kayfabe. They referenced this when the New Day did the time machine skit, when feuding with the Vaudevillians. Kofi comes out with his Jamaican accent, they tell him they need to go further back, and he says, “But 2009 was my best year!” Also during one of the Survivor series things HHH or Shawn Michaels went... wait didn't you used to be Jamaican?

Ziggler slowly turning heel being jealous of Cena & Nikki. Was supposed to also play out on Total Bellas or Divas.
Going on the way back machine. Duke The Dunpster Droese finding a $100 bill in his garbage can on Superstars or Challenge in what I assume was to somehow align him with Dibiase.
