I don't think as good but, mella personality fits it
I agree for the personality. But without trying to sound mean, Carmella looks like a reality Tv star (surgery, fake tan etc.) and I don't think that would work for that gimmick. Toni looks more natural.

Kevin Thorn. I know the Mordecai gimmick fizzled out but the same dude ended up doing the Thorn gimmick which lasted a lot longer than it should have. Would have been a great feud for Kane or Taker.

I mean you could say he was still over regardless of gimmick, especially during all of 2001.

Fair, but it seems like the undead persona/satanic persona was always more over than him just being a badass biker that beats the shit out of people leaves on a harley

Maven in general especially after Survivor series

Eugene (honestly at one point you could argue he was one of the biggest babyfaces on roster)

Regal 08 (self inflicted again but the king Regal stuff was good)

The Boogeyman (always felt like you could done some cool heel stuff with svr stuff aside)

Bob "Spark Plug" Holly mainly because it combined two things rural people like. Wrestling and NASCAR

It got Ariel on TV so it wasn't all bad.

"The Human Suplex Machine" Tazz never got a fair chance in WWE, although most of the ECW guys didn't.

Sean O'Haire's Devil's advocate run in '03 fits the criteria.
