I think the wrestling zombie that got so popular that people just started thinking any nonsensical gimmick might get over.

Being emasculated is far from threatening as a heel and is too pathetic to get cheered. I get this was the Attitude Era, and Vince Russo wanted to give everyone a gimmick and something to do, and maybe he meant well, but it's obvious he didn't have long-term plans for the roster(Vince Russo and long-term don't even belong in the same sentence), and this is an example of that. That's THE one sure way to stop someone's momentum. Glacier comes to mind. It felt so out of place at the time, like some guy coming out in his Halloween costume to do martial arts poses. Felt completely disconnected from the rest of the show. It was hard to imagine Glacier advancing beyond choreographed martial arts exhibitions with jobbers to having actual wrestling matches with top talent. I could see Glacier very well getting over if done right. |
