What are some examples of gimmicks that only work when related to another gimmick/wrestler?
Examples:
- EC3, in WWE. He is still Ethan Carter III, except we know he isn't rich and Dixie doesn't exist in WWE kayfabe. So he is somebody's nephew, who is 'rich.' What?
- Joseph Park, which only works if you've already had the length Abyss run.
- Does Kane work, at least for twenty years, without Taker? Big, scary, chokeslammy, burned face man? Probably would but I doubt the same level of longevity.
What are some others?

This is a great reason why EC3 isn't really working in WWE right now. There is no context to his character. How outlandish would a Dixie Carter appearance be? Even if it is for a shot deal, that would really help out the EC3 character. |

But hey, he looks like he's doing well now, as you can tell by the 2018 pics RIGHT HERE...ON FAN!!!! Does needing an entire holiday season count? Because Xanta Klaus is right there. |

The Roadie definitely doesn't work without Jeff Jarrett (though you could argue it never really worked anyway).

Chyna without Triple H. Both inside the ring and outside the ring. Hunter even had to yell spots for her to do.

I forgot about her run, yeah that was awesome, I think Chyna herself said that doing that was her favorite part of her wwf run. |

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of hers, but Chyna was way over when feuding with Jarrett and was over with Eddie.

Pretty much,you could just have him be a rich douche which his mother/aunt paid for him to get in WWE. |
