Kenny Alpha, billed from the Omegaverse. He delusionally thinks every woman wants him, while still acting like a dork. Wears a fedora. The V-Trigger is renamed the Trigger Warning, preceded by jazz hands finger guns. He cuts promos about owning the Libs (including veiled references to Jim Cornette).

Not sure if this counts, but before I knew about Orange Cassidy, I had an entire stable of wrestlers whose gimmick was to put in the least amount of effort possible. It was inspired by old matches where Don Muraco would beat a jobber while eating a sandwich, so he was the nominal leader of the stable. It was also around the same time as those Kona Brewing commercials from a few years back, so they were dubbed The Single Taskers. Samoa Joe was also a part of it, along with Major Stash (a/k/a Van Hammer) and I think Torrie Wilson. They would carry lounge chairs out to ringside and lay there for the whole show, with other wrestlers tripping over them and such.

A tag team called Hugh Two consisting of a fat wrestler named Hugh Jass and a musclehead named Hugh "Jakked" Mann.

"The Rustmaster" John Tentanus. He was using the Lockjaw finisher well before Britt Baker DMD.

Bo Ring. He wrestles a really slow, plodding, resthold-heavy style. If the crowd chants "boring" He thinks the crowd is chanting his name and this gets him excited, prompting him to wrestle a faster and more aggressive style.
Bo Dallas should give it a try.

"The Worst Singer in the World" Otto Toon.
I bet there's an alternate universe where Achim Albrecht (Brakkus) got saddled with that gimmick.

Bray Quiet. Basically Bray Wyatt with The Librarians gimmick from AEW.
A different version of "Quiet" Bray Wyatt could actually be an interesting repackaging for Bray. No entrance music. Refuses to speak, except maybe in sign language. Gives the crowd dirty looks when they cheer or boo loudly. Uses a lot of throat thrusts and chokeholds, with some kind of sleeper for his finisher. Attacks wrestlers that he thinks are too loud. He thinks the world is too noisy and has taken it upon himself to lower the volume.
