The way Taz looks in this .gif pretty much sums up his entire announcing style in TNA. Bi the way, I knew exactly what segment this would be about as soon as I read the title. I'm sure I'm not the only one. I for some reason expected it to be about the time AJ Styles broke into someone's locker room with a chainsaw and called Disco Inferno a faggot. I don't know why. I don't know if you're joking or if that really happened. I also don't know if that's more funny or sad. Only the lady in the radiator knows for sure...

I was expecting the midget beating off in the trash can actually. Tiny Trashcan Wanker should have been part of OJ's entourage.

Holy shit, it is real! It sounded like something one would make up to highlight AJ's homophobia and be funny and random.
The best part is how it was the first thing that happened on the show. Tenay introduces the show, pan the crowd, It's AJ Styles! HE'S GOT A CHAINSAW!?
I'd love to see that format.

Honestly, I thought it was the most thought provoking gimmick in years. It had legs. It was different every week. Homophobia and wrestling fans are nearly synonymous. I think the heat was too much bad heat and Hogan and Bischoff killed it before it took hold. At that point they were flinging crap to see what stuck. In this case I think thy had something but axed it. if by "thought-provoking" you mean Bi-phobic and incredibly offensive. TNA's just lucky they don't have the visibility WWE has or they'd have GLAAD on their asses right away.

Displaying Bisexuals as eccentric? Yes, but then again I'm sure there are some eccentric Bisexuals out there and if that's who the 'Orlando Jordan' character was then so be it. But Bi-Phobic? I fail to see it.

Once more, they portrayed him as a sexual deviant. Not going "hey this guy is bi" but going "dude, what a f***ing weirdo amirite"

I fail to see it. but going "dude, what a f***ing weirdo amirite" Because he was a sexual deviant. Not because he was Bi. I understand the gimmick and angle didn't go the way of making Bi and Gay people more comfortable to be themselves like they tried to push but it wasn't Bi-Phobic.
