If you act and talk the same, it's not a gimmick change, at best you've just come up with a fancy new nickname.
All of those are the same except Maivia, a fancy new nickname is not a gimmick.
I don’t know about talking the same but all of those gimmick changes they definitely acted differently. There’s a world of difference between 98 stone cold early 2001 stone cold and late 2001 stone cold those three alone are completely different characters.
If you can’t tell the difference between completely different characters, then I guess you really don’t have a problem with change at all because you just don’t see the change anyway.
No, there is not a world of difference there, unless you're talking about heel Stone Cold?? Which was the worst version.
Yes, both of those 2001 Stone colds are heels. You can say it’s the worst version but it’s very clearly a different version if you’re even yourself is clearly saying it’s worse.
Well, it’s a good thing they also completely acted differently had completely different motivations and completely different interactions with other characters. You know things you do when you change your gimmick.
I’ll give you LA Knight. I don’t think he has changed his character at all in 10 years.
They sucked, hence my point of if it ain't broke, don't fix it. You don't fuck with shit that works, it's like what they did with that Friends lite Looney Tunes show in the 2010's.
I wasn’t arguing whether or not it sucked. I was arguing with you that rock and Stone haven’t changed because they have numerous times.
Which is like, part of my problem. I can watch some random TNA from when he was there, and swear I'm just watching LA Knight
no matter how many years ago it was...
I didn’t particularly care for the Stone cold that needed hugs and Vince by his side, but the jealous killer version of him when he was a heel was actually pretty awesome and entertaining.
