Duane Gill was in the 'James Ellsworth' role in WWE in the late 1990s. Obviously much smaller and less impressive than most of the roster, he was mostly used for comedic relief but did actually get a minor push as WWE's lightheavyweight champion, their answer to WCW's cruiserweight division.

Gill would eventually transition into Gillberg, a character meant to poke fun at WCW's Reigning world champion Bill Goldberg. While the character was quite entertaining and a spot on parody, it was dropped when WWE realized they were just giving the real Goldberg legitimacy by having the character around in the first place.
