5 gimmicks that were obvious rip-offs of other characters

#2 Alberto Del Rio - John 'Bradshaw' Layfield

Del Rio would arrive in a car each week, much like the Texan.

Alberto Del Rio's career in WWE was very impressive. Within his first year, he would win the 40-man Royal Rumble, the 2011 RAW Money in the Bank contract and the WWE Championship.

But despite his various accolades, there is one thing that many fans thought when they saw Del Rio: that his character was astonishingly similar to John 'Bradshaw' Layfield.

Arriving in a car every week, flaunting his wealth and using every crooked method in the book to win, it's easy to see why fans would compare the Mexican Aristocrat to the Texan.

These comparisons were made even worse when Layfield returned to the WWE as a commentator in 2012, following the real heart attack of Jerry Lawler, as he often spoke about how much Del Rio reminded him, of himself.
