THere's plenty of non-video game characters. GM and former champion Gabe, current VGCW Tag Team champions Vegeta and Nappa, former tag team champions AVGN and Arino, or former world champions Charles Barkley and Mr. Satan. Not to mention a wealth of EDBW characters. Weak reason to exclude somebody as heat-generating as BonzaiBuddy.
Sorry to break it to you, but of all of the people you listed, Gabe is the only one to have NOT been up in a video game, everyone else has been in a video game at some point in time, so it does count.
This guy and his sass. So, so long as they at some point appeared in some shitty, low-rent video game, it counts, even if it's absolutely clear they're more famous for something else and are only in a video game because of that notoriety?

In that case, boom. Here's a BonziBuddy game. http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/59140
Flash games do not count, or else we could include every single character in anything ever.

Also, not really on the second part. Like I said, the non-video game characters are old favorites that got carried on into later seasons. AVGN and Arino got famous because of video games and are in video games of their own (though even the former would be enough. See- Game Grumps), and the same thing for the Saiyans go for Charles Barkley and Mr. Satan (though Charles' Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden can be used, it's a flimsy excuse that wouldn't fly for anyone but him, and only flies because he got in early).

I've always worked with the assumption that it's not about whether or not a character has appeared in a video game but rather what video game is their VGCW representation derived from.

For example, take a look at VGCW/EDBW Superstar Charles Barkley. Barkley is a real person, but his costume, plot, and moveset all suggest that he's derived from Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden. WVGCW's She-Hulk is a comic book character, but again she has all these elements (i.e. current outfit, Sunday Driver, Morrigan tag team) that suggest she's from Marvel vs Capcom 3. On the other end, Nappa and Vegeta are clearly their DBZ Abridged iterations rather than any of the 50 million video game versions of themselves.

I can't really think of anything about characters like say Arino, is there anything about his character to suggest he's taken from Retro Game Challenge? And the Nerd's video game came out well after he was introduced as a VGCW character. What about Segata Sanshiro? He's a marketing gimmick created to sell Sega Saturns, but he's portrayed by a real person, but there's also a Segata video game (that's heavily inspired by the commercials).

BLUSTER THE BENEVOLENT, HAILED AS A GOD
If it wasn't for the recent Roboticization plot, I would've suggested Cutman or Gutsman.

Voldo from Soul Calibur came to mind during my afternoon commute. I admit he won't bring much personality to the roster, but he sure is lewd.

With the reaction the Sun Rises got, a CAW of Amaterasu from Okami could be well-received.

...human Ammy, anyway. I don't think I want to see the alternative.
