From pwinsider.com........
As noted a few weeks back in the PWInsider.com Elite section, World Wrestling Entertainment plans to remake Orlando Jordan as a bisexual character shortly. The current creative plan is to link former TNA star Trinity (who signed last week with the company) and a new gay male character to Jordan in a triangle of sorts. The new male character will not be played by a wrestler, but will be portrayed by a friend of Jordan's from outside the business named Erik. He was backstage at the Smackdown taping this past Sunday in Florence, South Carolina.
It will be interesting to see how WWE intends to present the characters given they will be appearing over broadcast TV on the UPN Network.

Ok. This is stupid. But then again, thank god they're not bringing up some poor sucker from OVW or DSW to play his other love interest. That would kill his career.
Speaking of career killings, good god, what are they doing to poor Orlando. Why don't they pair him with Booker T as almost like a lacky, maybe have him make defenses for the Book Man. Almost have him be a protege. I mean, it would really help Orlando to be with Booker T, because Booker is a huge star. But no, let's make him a bisexual. Geez.

Either way I'm sure Orlando is just happy to be getting a character to play and some TV time. Guys like Spanky and London would probably love a chance like that. Look at guys like Goldist Boogeyman and Shelton's Momma...if silly characters are played effectively, they can take off big time.

If this is true. I'm happy for Jordan's sake because at least it may help to get him over & I'm glad he'll probably be more comforatable with it being his friend & not another wrestler. I do think this all a bad idea, but like The Boogeyman I'll give it a chance, if anythinmg this good for Jordan, he's being used & I can't see him going lower, as he lost Benoit 20 secs & that was supposed to have buried him, but this could work ok.

Agreed, Andrew.
Without a doubt, Vince is senile beyond belief.

But you watch their show every week, so something is going right for them.
How come you don't watch the history of ancient Taiwanese pottery on the History Channel? Because you don't like it and find it boring....hhhmmmmm.....

I say give it a chance... we all crap on every idea we hear before we see it and sometimes are pleasently surprised. Maybe it'll work for him and gettin Trinity on my TV makes me happy. I do think they should have stuck with something with Booker, because it looked like it was leading somewhere, but for his "bi sexual" gimmick, hell give it a shot, it can't be the wors thing that the WWE has ever thrown at us.

If Erik and other non wrestlers become popular, imagine the top 5 in the power 25 soon. 1. Chloe - Retains Womans championship this week against Ashley, with a little help from Torrie. 2. Shelton's Mama - Will challange for Womans championship next week after a win over Candice. 3. Erik - Helped OJ regain the US championship this week by taking out Booker with a kendo stick. 4. Tim White - Would be ranked higher if only he could get the job done. 5. Ken Kennedy - The man dosn't even need to wrestle.  |

You see why we don't like them? I know they are, haha, Steph needs to hire some people who watch wrestling and know about the buisness. What bothers me is it's so easy. They had him have confronations with Booker T. And he's still injured, and they're probably gonna let Randy Orton do other things, so why not have Orlando defend the title for Booker and like, have Teddy Long force Jordan do defend the belt for Booker, and Booker is like, ahh crap I'm gonna lose my belt, then Jordan gets a fluke victory, and Booker's there almost taking a heart attack. Just the crowd would get so into that, because they would see Booker T, who always has good facial reactions, enjoy the fact that Booker is in a complete panic, and see Orlando build himself up and gets wins and such and it helps him out, and maybe gives him a chance to turn face against Booker for the US Title. Like, they don't need this. They already have the beginnings of a storyline. And I myself have given gimmicks a chance and I know I've been wrong about somethings (aka Eugene), but I really don't think this is going to fly, and if it does get traction, they're going to take it out like they did with Billy & Chuck, which I actually enjoyed. And like, if they were going to bring in a bisexual love interest, why couldn't they bring back Rico? I would have been the angle's biggest supporter if I found out they were bringing him back for this. |

Anyone else think WWE might be planning on throwing some subliminal rips on TNA by doing this?
"Well Tazz, it appears that lots of gay men are drawn to Orlando!"
"Yeah Cole! Orlando sure is no stranger to small little guys!"
"Well you know what they say Tazz, TNA sucks! And Orlando Jordan's gay!"

Your idea is very similar to what Matt Hardy had with Shannon Moore, and with the way the company recycles storylines, it'll happen soon enough. |
