I'm heartened that they specifically say "characters." The more we can tease apart the stupid requirement that WWE wrestlers "play themselves," the better. The problem with most WWE wrestlers is that they don't play themselves enough. The biggest stars in history played themselves but to a higher degree. (Except George The Animal Steel) George Steele to one of his students. "Do you think I'm that ugly?"

I already have zero faith in this And in a future interview, Steph will single-handedly claim the WWE, and herself in particular, ended LGBT discrimination in the country.

I am expecting this to be a little better than, say, having some gay heel pinching guy's asses. So I fully expect a grotesque trainwreck.

I think they could start with American Alpha. All they'd really need to do is have them share a passionate kiss after they win the new Smackdown tag titles, with neither of them acting weirded out about it or anything. It'd be heartwarming, honestly, as long as JBL's mic was off and Mauro didn't make the wrong pop cultural reference. "Crack open the wine coolers and crank up the Pansy Division, because American Alpha have won the tag team titles!"

Considering WWE has, at best, a horny 14 year olds idea of how straight people behave, I shudder at the thought of what their brain trust would come up with for a bisexual character, let alone a gay or lesbian character, and trans and gender queer are completely out of the question. I have zero faith in WWE in this endeavor. Less than zero, if it's mathematically possible. Yay, I need a new avenue to hear about this daily. I'm only down if it's HLA And this is where the whole thread goes to shit.

Can we have HLA AND HGA (hot guy action) so that it can be equal?
It might be the thing that finally makes people gaf about TM-61.

This is going well...
And by well, I mean it's lighting itself on fire and jumping into the center of a forest.

“I hope the writers approach these new characters with the same nuance they lent to Muhammad Hassan.” Me too, Beverly. Me too. Honestly, considering the way LGBTQ people have been historically portrayed in pro wrestling, particularly by WWE, that might just be the best case scenario.
