The Brood...as mentioned before....Paul Bearer and the Undertaker/Kane....The Vachons....(I don't have to stay in the 15 years, I've been watching every version of WWE there has been since the Superstar Billy Graham days). There have been several "freaky" family gimmicks over the years.

This one is so easy to answer it shows you were angry when you typed it....the answer:
Money....his persona that was created sells tickets/merchandise/appearances like never before. The fact that you don't recognize it or want to ignore it speaks volumes.

I'm not the only person on here that thinks the only reason DB is getting a push now is because Cena is gone. And watch what happens to him when Cena gets back. He will be back to the mid-card person that WWE believes he is.

Guys like SCSA and The Rock come around once in a very long, long time...it's beyond dumb to believe you can just plug in anyone and push them and they'll be at that level. It may be hard but you should try and be just a wee bit more level headed than that...times have changed.

Evidently you didn't see Steve Austin long before the SCSA time frame, i.e. the Hollywood Blondes. If you find the right guy and the right gimmick and meld them you get a Rock, Stone Cold and a Cena. Hell Hulk Hogan was just a normal guy named Terry Boulder before he became the Hulkster and sad enough to say his merchandise still sells.
