there about a handful of stars over the years that actually succeeded or became stars with their original gimmick. Most have to go through different names, gimmicks, move sets, etc before they find the right one.
Take for example Texas Red who then became The Master of Pain who then became The Punisher who then became Mean Mark Callous who then finally became The Undertaker.
This also the problem with the WWE being the only big name game in town. If they "give up" on Bo Dallas then what? how can he come back from that?
Or Adam Rose, maybe there is real talent there, maybe this gimmick flopped, but the next one might work.
What Vince needs to do is invest in ROH and use them as their breeding ground, but not under the WWE banner. Keep nxt for WWE groomed guys. Because if you're gonna be real about a lot of the WWE's biggest stars were guys taken from other organizations and NOT WWE home grown. Hogan, Taker, Austin, Macho, Diesel, Razor Ramon, HHH, etc.
