Now I was a mark back in 2001 and I only went on a site or two back in the day and I remember reading that people were getting upset because they thought that with Stone Cold giving Vince hugs all the time that they were trying to turn him a badass gay character. Having debra be her useless self as his "wife" and adding nothing would keep fans guessing if he really was or not. How bad would that have tanked?

It would have killed the "What?" chants pretty quickly.
And I think a lot of those people missed the point.

I would have loved to see a gay angle with Stone Cold. It would have been funny and amazing.

On a somewhat related note, in EWR once, I was fooling around with gimmick options. As a joke, I changed Austin's gimmick to "Gay."
He became the most over wrestler on all three brands.

They did kinda tease it quite heavily anyway.
It just came off as more doting son to father.

That would be terrible. It would taint Austin's legacy. Give the gay gimmick as a joke to some no name looking for laughs to get over. Do not give it to Austin.

I love bad-ass gay characters. Adrian Street FTW. They need another one.
A bad ass gay Austin would be a little much though.

Maybe Austin just watched "Tommy Boy" one too many times

To paraphrase Mick Foley, if you're gonna do a gay angle, do it with Austin. It would still be tasteless but at least it would make money.

I didn't see it as Austin being gay. More like fun-loving, which defeated the purpose of his character.
