Whenever a fresh gimmick comes along, inspiration for this gimmick undoubtedly comes from somewhere, in most cases it comes from a wrestling in the past. There are other notable comparable wrestlers that didn’t make this list that are worth mentioning. Billy Gunn and Dolf Ziggler is a pretty obvious one visually and in the ring, as both wrestlers have a similar style. Other comparisons worth mentioning include Bret Hart and Daniel Bryan, Alberto Del Rio and Ted DiBiase, Neville and Rob Van Dam, Big E Langston and Ron Simmons and Seth Rollins with Shawn Michaels. I encourage other comparisons in the comments section. Let’s now begin to take a look at these 13 current superstars and who they compare to from the past. Enjoy.
13) Bray Wyatt and Raven
Many wrestling fans compare Bray Wyatt’s persona as one comparable to The Undertaker’s. Both have dark characters, with Wyatt preaching himself as being the WWE’s “new face of fear”. Despite the similarities though, Bray’s microphone skills are quite different to those of the Undertaker’s. Undertaker typically rarely spoke and had this mysterious mystique to his character, while Wyatt uses his promos and deep words to captivate an audience, something that is very comparable to former WCW star Raven. The resemblance between their promos are very similar. Although Raven wasn’t given the same prestigious attention as Bray is getting, the leader of “Raven’s flock” preached the same things as Bray, and he did this through his stable, much like Bray did with the Wyatt family. Raven’s flock embraced people who were different and wanted to go against what was normal; much like the Wyatt family, that preaches a similar message through Bray’s promos. During a shoot interview, Raven described his flock as missing one key piece; a big 280 pound man that protected the group. This is a role that Bray could have fit into perfectly.
12) Becky Lynch and Lita
Many comparisons have been made comparing Becky Lynch with Hall of Fame Diva Lita. Both share rather similar gimmicks with Lynch carrying around a persona of being that sexy raw tomboy character, much like Lita’s gimmick in the 90s. Her in ring work is also very comparable to Lita’s. It is a fast paced unusual style of wrestling, which is high risk high reward, and something wrestling fans really enjoy out of a Diva just because it so rare to see. During an interview with WWE.com, Lynch admitted that Lita was a huge reason as to why she decided to join a wrestling school, where she was trained by NXT Champion, Finn Balor. That admiration for Lita is certainly apparent in her work.
