I am the same way. The thought of enhanced some classic wam is nice. I would like that, especially if a few of my favorites were enhanced. Generating fantasy footage would be even more amazing.
I think to produce good wam videos a model will need to be trained on wam videos.
I have generated over an hour of mp4s with a model that I trained. I can make basic short animations right now. Nothing is satisfying. Other than making a messy body, I cannot produce any wam actions because the motion model is not trained on it. I can get a decent result of other things like going down a muddy waterpark slide hehe.

That will never be wankable. (Unless you also have a cartoon fetish, in which case: Eureka!)
I've posted the AI restored version of the Mandrell scene and included the source clip, so even if you don't like the AI take on it, you still have the original!
