I am still not sure what the hell that was. Spud was...something and it made no sense why he was there after quitting. Rex, Rex admits no one gives a f*** about him unless he's playing a character so he go for that. Yeah, it is a Liberace thing but it was also weird as hell. The whole bit, he is a shit wrestler that is boring as hell and knows it so he does this?
I am still not sure what the hell I saw.

A grown man wearing lipstick and nude tights is paired with his man servant. You type some shit like that in your search bar and without erasing your history and that can send you to jail.
Aron Rex, what the f*** is wrong with you? When you pitched this gimmick to WWE I'm pretty sure they thought you were clinically insane and was never going to trust giving you a push again.
It comes off as a dude that wants to be Dalton Castle or The Genius but isn't subtle enough to pull it off at all.

Next time I bitch about WWE holding someone back you slap me and make me read all of this through the spoilers thread again so I can remember shit is not always how it seems to us as fans.
We have to remember there's two sides to these situations when someone doesn't get a push we want them to have, and sometimes that story is "this guy can't work without characters but his ideas for them are frighteningly bad".

Spud has the look of a person wondering exactly he did wrong in a past life to deserve this.

Watching this all I could think was of a line from a "Kids in The Hall" episode; "Bad 1950s gay stereotype."

"I may have tried HARD for those geeks Up North, but I'm ALWAYS HARD in ANTHEM'S TNA IMPACT PRESENTED BY ANTHEM, YEAH! YOU KNOW IT, AND YOU KNOW IT, AND YOU KNOW IT! HASHTAG HARD! NEM BRAZZERS ALWAYS BRINGS THE WOOD, BABY!" While he's stroking the wooden rod lewdly.

We have to remember there's two sides to these situations when someone doesn't get a push we want them to have, and sometimes that story is "this guy can't work without characters but his ideas for them are frighteningly bad". Indeed, it's not always big bad WWE being evil and not wanting us to be happy. Sometimes the guy just isn't good enough to be pushed any better than they are. I'm not saying that there weren't times that WWE passed up some easy opportunities to give Sandow some memorable moments (the Andre Battle Royal at WM31), but had he gone any further up the card than he did, he would have likely been exposed as a merely competent wrestler and a bland personality (when not working a broad gimmick like The Intellectual Saviour or Miz's stunt double) like he did when he came in to TNA, and he probably would have received a backlash from fans of noticeably better wrestlers and characters. And as for this, I don't even know where the f*** to start.

Literally a low hanging fruit gimmick. He is doing a 70's/80's sitcom stereotypical gay guy. Like he watched videos of Paul Lynde and Charles Nelson Reilly & decided that was too butch for his character idea. Watch TNA try to sell this to GLAAD as a groundbreaking character like they did with Orlando Jordan.
Like every bad gay trope is on display. Wears women makeup. Dances like Liberace. Has a manservant. Talks with a lisp. Limp wisted. Effeminate. Before long, he will sexually harass to his male opponents and be a sexual predator. This is one of the gimmicks done on a shindy along with the obese dude who considers himself sexy and the skinny Hot Topic goth.

I just love how 5 months ago when Aron Rex debuted he came out and said "That was just an act" in regards to his past gimmicks before proclaiming that he was a serious wrestler now and he was going to change the wrestling landscape by being serious.
5 months later he's walking out on TNA TV dressed doing some brand new weird gimmick with Spud as a valet. I don't know whether to laugh at Aron Rex or to laugh at TNA for actually going back on what they had the dude say on TV.

It's literally like they sat down a couple months ago and thought "Man, people are shitting on Aron Rex for being lame. Is there a way we could make it worse?"

Thank god that they did. And look at this jackass, he was the First Grand Champion. You know, the shoot style champ! Rex should have been a manager, plain and simple.

My biggest issue with it is... It seems both way too on the nose and too one-note and cheap. Seems to be not trying to use a similar idea to Liberace or anything so much as just outright ripping him off and as transparently as possible, and there doesn't seem to be any real reason to boo the character outside of, "Heheh, he's gay, get it?" Which is a pretty damn awful way to try and get heat to begin with, especially in 2017.
