I thought the man in the background swinging from the ceiling was real for a slight moment and was disappointed when I realised he wasnt

The best part was when Taz and Taney basically had the "do we have to watch" look on their faces. What started off good with the whole dropping from the ceiling has...FAILED

But, yeah, that segment was just awful. It was a prime example of trying to be shocking with all of the innuendo and failing horribly. They're walking a really fine line with this angle and if they cross it (some pun intended) there's going to be a ton of backlash from.... THE GAY COMMUNITY?! THE GAY COMMUNITY?!?

I thought the segment would've been gold if Terry would've come out, knocked Jordan the hell out... then spent the next five minutes getting frustrated that the cardboard cutout wouldn't answer his questions like, "Who are you?" "Where did you come from?" "Why do you look like me?"

I've been excited to see OJ's new act, but I was very disappointed in the O-Zone. When he first debuted with the caution tape and the music and the fancy lighting, he was awesomely creepy. But that interview with Rob Terry was 100% pure averageness (if that's even a word). It was just like any other talk show segment... it may as well have been Carlito's Cabana, but with a giant vase thing instead of a palm tree. If Orlando really wants to stand out, he really needs to start cranking up the weirdness. I'm not saying he needs to be Mr Over-The-Top Gay Stereotype, but he needs to start doing creepy things to make people uncomfortable. Interviewing a cardboard cutout of Rob Terry is something that virtually anybody else could have done.

That didn't get over. At all. It was just dull and poorly done.

Taz's face was priceless, especially when he recognised the camera was on him and he cracked a smile. The segment sucked, Orlando Jordan has no charisma whatsoever.

Did he forget his line at the end? It seemed like after the Rob beat down, he kind of stumbled on his words, and was like "...Simply....the greatest." I thought, is that the best you've got? That's CAW lines at best.

Here is a question, where exactly is the bisexual stuff? he has already turned into ott stereotypical flamboyant gay guy #369 and what makes it worse is that he isn't the slightest bit engaging when he talks and can't sell the gimmick to you. They really toned down the Bisexual stuff. When he debuted in the Caution Tape thing, his interview set had the bisexual flag on the wall. That was removed last week. Likewise his guy and girl valets have been missing since then, too. I am wondering if TNA is getting some sort of pressure by the network or by advertisers to tone down that sort of thing.

"Where did you come from?" "Why do you look like me?" That would have been a million times better. An angle on Rob Terry being dumb (not saying he actually is or anything) like in a Homer Simpson way would be great actually. They could have had Desmond Wolfe or someone else become his wrangler.

I'd mark for it.
