Can we see the same gimmick more than once?

[LeviCook]

My question for debate is do you believe we can see the same gimmick more than once? When ever we see a gimmick as fans we seem to attach that gimmick to whoever portrays it. For example; If there was ever another "dead man" gimmick he would be automatically compared to The Undertaker and seem as a rip off. If another wrestler came out and started rapping towards his opponents a lot of us would think he was a John Cena rip off. I also feel like this is relevant with Ryback. Everyone compares him to Goldberg. Both were built up as dominate powerhouses, Both had impressive size and strength, Similar moves, etc.

Do you think we can successfully see gimmicks similar to ones we have already seen?

Is there a proper way to get over a similar gimmick?

Maybe if its a old and little gimmick..Example:Albert/droz tattoo artist or like Billy and Chuck(kind of gay)..The things that kills me most its like Ziggler who have the same hair(nearly)same boots,same tights,and way too many same move like Billy gunn :S
