Characterization Marches On is largely applicable to almost everyone in Professional Wrestling due to gimmick changes and whatnot, but several examples stand out:
- Edge: Began as a dark loner and is currently a jerkass with a bit of Jerk Jock who pulls his own hair out like a crazed madman when he's about to finish someone. Is also, as of his recent Kane feud, apparently a Manipulative Bastard with a tendency to use lifelike mannequins.
- Remember when Mickie James was a lesbian?
- Back about 2006-2007, many fans were thinking of The Miz as the single most worthless WWE Superstar there was. But today...
- Molly Holly's heel character originally started out as a Hardcore Holly type who wanted the division to be more serious. This eventually evolved into a self-righteous prude who gets mocked for having a huge ass. Funnily enough the character reverted back to her initial persona around 2003 or so and the Hollywood Pudgy was dropped.
- Santino Marella: Began as a foreign everyman, became the Comic Relief, eternal loser, added Chick Magnet to this repertoire and has recently graduated into a slightly more competant Plucky Comic Relief with his similarly evolving, albeit in the apparent opposite irection, tag team championship partner Vladimir Koslov.
- Triple H: Hard to believe that reasonable COO of the WWE started out as a Wicked Cultured Blue Blood, became Shawn Michaels' Anything That Moves sidekick and later leader of D Generation X, to a Smug Snake Jerkass dragon to The Corporation and the Corporate Ministry, then a Magnificent Bastard with shades of Complete Monster before and during the McMahon-Helmsley Era, Determinator Designated Hero after the quad injury, Bastard/Monster with with money in Evolution, Fourth Wall Observer after the DX reunion and finally, a Blood Knight vs. The Undertaker at Wrestlemania 27.
- You know, not many men can say they've been a fun-loving rapper, an evil king, a demon, a casanova, and a thug for hire in one lifetime. WWE's Viscera can.
