I think something else to consider is wrestlers being repackaged. Yeah they may still have the history but they’re clearly an entirely new character. Guys like Tito Santana suddenly becoming El Matador or Lex Luger coming to WWF wearing silver and purple and calling himself The Narcissist. They are meant to be completely different personas than what they were prior. Stardust and Cody Rhodes is another example as is ABA and Dead Man versions of Taker. Same character, no one is pretending they’re not, but completely different appearance, name or nickname, personality, promo style, and sometimes even moveset. Ringmaster to Stone Cold would be someone else I’d consider being a completely different repackaged character that still share the same lineage. Warlord is another. It’s something I’ve been fascinated by as an older fan Like as a kid I had no idea repo man was smash, when I found that out when I was like, 20 or whatever I was dumbfounded and I think that started my fascination. It’s kinda like the deal when in a soap they keep a character but a new actor comes in and plays them
