I guess this is the start of that long rumored OJ bi-sexual storyline. *sigh* very, very unfortunately so. I hate boo-birding something before it even hits... but this looks BAD. WWE's track record with gay-baiting acts is truly abysmal (that's why the Heart Breakers were re-packaged as the Heart Throbs) & this seems like it could go down in history with stupid angles like Billy & Chuck. I can hear GLAAD getting pissed off already. |

I wouldn't mind the storyline, if it didn't involve Orlando freakin' Jordan and VITO. Put some semi-attractive guys in it, at least.  |

Wasn't Vito a gay character on the Sopranos?

I'll put $20 on this being the way WWE transitions OJ to ECW. Think about it. He has had his ass beaten into da' ground by Benoit. His picture shows up in the dictionary under "jobber". This might give push to Vito when Vito beats OJ in the ring, takes off OJ's suit, and reveals Goldust-esque female undergarments. He goes to ECW and the fans chant "gay," "fag," or a similar insult. He goes through his monologue and pretends not to hear it while saying the fans are referring to his opponent. Anytime his opponent brings up OJ being gay, OJ hulks up and gives the beatdown. His t-shirt will say "The Last Real Man". This has the potential to be HUGE.
Hell, they could have him reading women's magazines and other feminine stuff. OJ can always say it's his girlfriend's stuff. Only prob is, his girlfriend never shows up. Whacky hijinks ensue.

The majority of fans don't think highly of vacuuming. Stop pregnant doging about the possible portrayal and appreciate it for the good story. If the character is gay, he can't crossdress if he wants to? Who cares? The character is one person. It doesn't represent all vacuums. You'd be surprised, but lots of male wrestling fans are gay or bi. It's true. Not all of the wrestling fans abhore such a thing. |

This is the best portrayal of this gimmick I've seen yet. THIS has some potential, although I still am not too optimistic, but this would at least be funny. You'd be surprised, but lots of male wrestling fans are gay or bi. It's true. Not all of the wrestling fans abhore such a thing. You are right, but is WWE going to market to them? I anticipate a gimmick that won't exactly make gay or bi guys happy. |

Actually, I wouldn't be. No one said that all wrestling fans abhore queering. As another poster said, WWE isn't going to cater to low single-digits or a fraction of a percent while alienating a vastly larger portion of their fans.
To people in general,
Please stop with the pissing and moaning about gay gimmicks. Queers are just like everyone else, right? So there are good and bad queers, right? So why do people bitch when a queer character is not portrayed as the most perfect human being ever to have existed? Where are the huge protests for portraying bodybuilders as dumbasses (Masters)? Where are the cries over Italians as gangsters (criminals)? It's a frickin' story.
3B,
I think it'll work if they never actually come out and say it. You know, have OJ in tag matches with his partner not sure of OJ's hetero credentials. OJ giving lots of shoulder rubs, pats on the back/butt, pulling off gay-looking moves (dazed opponent bent over in a hammerlock for WAY too long-partner yells at OJ-OJ acts like nothing happened), and lots of hugs (especialy ones where OJ doesn't let go initially) after they win. His partner could bring hot ring rats by after the match to celebrate. OJ could come up with a lame excuse like he has to do his laundry at home. Dry cleaner comes by the arena next week with the bill for OJ's laundry while the partner is there. There is simply too much comic potential for WWE not to do this.

Just have Pat Patterson write angles like these.
I'm sure they'd be too X-rated for Un-creative though.

I really don't think the wrestling audience dislikes gay gimmicks.
'Cause but Goldust and Rico (when he was still hired) but got/are getting good face pops for their antics.
