the only time he has been successful is with DX/Road Dogg.

Everything else fizzled pretty quickly

Once Road Dogg left him, Billy had nothing. Sure he had the athleticism, but that alone can't get one over.

Speaking of Road Dogg, I still hope they bring him back sometime with the Road Dogg Jesse James gimmick. Not the Get Rowdy Road Dogg, but the one we all loved.

I sorely miss hearing the ol' "Oh you didn't know? Your ass better call somebody!" schtick. I'm not saying bring back DX, mind you, just the Road Dogg, by himself. ;)

When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the country not enter the city. For this is the time of punishment in fullfillment of all that has been written. How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people. They will fall by the sword and be taken as prisoners to all nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
...At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.
Luke 21:20-28

The whole "Oh You Didn't Know" schtick was part-in-parcel with DX. They should just have Hunter turn on Evolution, team up with HBK, grab Christian, Trish and Shelton B., and reform DX.

EDIT - And of course have Road Dogg and Billy as well. Give the stable a bit of size.

I think it is the only stable of it's popularity to have never made a comback even noce. It is time for DX to Suck It!

The WWE should let him be himself, that worked for Foley, Rock, biker Taker, Austin and Cena.

Ok, I been thinking, isn't Benoit the only champ/maineventer in recent memory that got where he is without any sort of gimmick what so ever? ya he has a nickname, but if you think about it that is all he is and all there is to the gimmick. I think that's pretty imressive myself.

Yeah, but he's one hell of a werstler (better than Billy sad to say) plus his non gimickness as well as his very serious demeinor is another example of a werestler being himself.

His ring work is amazing, the psychology during his matches really draws you in (Benoit, not Billy!) and THAT is whats got him over. He visibly works his ass off and looks legit tired in there, hes not the biggest guy in the world but its his sheer workrate and ability to pull off amazing moves on the bigger guys like huge german suplexes on the likes of Rikishi. His gimmick (if you can call it that) isnt one of an over the top wrestling character but more a methodical, cold, calculating kinda guy. Hes emotionless and machine-like. That's his gimmick. Its pretty plain and lacks colour but its a gimmick nonetheless. I mean im sure he isnt that robot-like in reality, but the gimmick fits his wrestling style.
