This could definitely be a good way to build up new talent and get the fans familiar with them. If I were in charge of this, I would make the show kind of like an extended vignette and showcase the abilities and background of the talent. That way when they debut on one of the two major brands, they will be rolling full steam ahead.
Knowing WWE and SyFy though, they will find some way to fuck it up and add zombies to the mix or something.

They already did. His name is Mark Calaway and he debuted as a giant zombie named Cain who was also an undertaker. He could not be hurt or feel pain, and he would go on to bury some of his victims.
I thought it was stupid when I was 8 and I think it's stupid now.

One of the most legendary gimmicks ever. It's still over and it made Calaway a legend. That's not stupid, it might have been lucky, but not stupid.

As a kid I loved it personally. I don't care for the whole Undertaker gimmick because it is beyond worn out. Didn't care for the biker Taker either.
The Lord of Darkness Taker will always go down as one of my all-time favorites in the Attitude era though.
Shallow:
I can accept that the gimmick got over. I just never liked it. My favorite wrestling has always been grounded in reality. I can barely stand the Flair Flop these days so no way am I going to care about a second rate b horror movie character in the ring.
Just give me two guys fighting each other for a chance to get closer being the best and I'll be happy.
I always wondered how a season style promotion would go over. 5 categories; Heavyweight Men's division, Cruiser Weight Division, Heavyweight Tag Team, Cruiser Weight Tag Team, and Woman's Division. Each entry has one match a week and then enter a playoff style tournament after a 30 week schedule. No best of 7 or anything, just one match and winner goes on. Then the major event of the year is the Championship which consists of 5 matches, one winner for each category. The whole thing lasts maybe 3/4 of a year, the wrestlers get their break and then the season restarts.
