What wrestlers have gimmicks which can be linked to a particular person?
For example, when I first heard that Johnny Nitro had changed his name to "John Morrison", I thought "What a generic, bland name". Then I saw him come out with his new gimmick and immediately got it. He was called "John Morrison" because he now looked a lot like Doors frontman, Jim Morrison.
What other examples, past and present, where wrestling characters have been based on either real people or pop culture (e.g. movie or TV) characters?
Here are some I can think of.
John Morrison- Jim Morrison
Bray Wyatt & The Wyatt Family- based off the cult The Manson Family, with Bray as a nod to Charles Manson.
Adam Rose- Russell Brand
Lana- Drago's manager in "Rocky IV"
Damien Sandow- numerous people.
Any others?
