Nooooo you can’t just have an unknown wrestler embrace white knight stereotypes talking about safe spaces and male privelage!
Ahem. I guess you really need the gif for that but you get the idea.
Sooo..where do you think they’ll go with this?

I'm guessing that like with Retribution before it, WWE is gonna really handle it a blunt WWE way making it really really clear how they feel about what they're parodying, but then get cold feet and give up within a few weeks.

I mean all recorded history points to it going 'somewhere f***ing terrible' but there is a first time for everything. In this case the fist time will be this going 'somewhere REALLY f***ing terrible'.

Will he refer to his genitals as his "not vagina?"

I think he's going with an eventual unhinged/sadistic/con artist character. They just didn't do enough with him showing his bad side with Grimes last night. The potential problem is they can make this a complex layered character and Gacy can hold up his end telling the story- WWE just sucks at anything with an extra dimension right now.

I liked it, or what they put on YouTube at least. It has a feel of a guy that is trying to be calm and act "right", fit in, outside the ring but knows his true home is hurting people in the ring.
Then again I admit I read too much into stuff at times.

This is the best direction they can go with it if Vince isn't going to be all Meta about his personal opinion on things. Make it like how Bray was in the first episodes of Firefly Funhouse. Seems nice, but something is off. This could either be really good, or goddam terrible.

It’ll be a cringe gimmick that will kill this dude’s career dead.

And y'all said WWE would never sign David Starr "We have David Starr at home" but it's okay because David Starr At Home is way better than having David Starr at home.

Originally, I was annoyed about the gimmick and said so in another thread but on the flip side… And y'all said WWE would never sign David Starr If this is the intention (and it’s likely not), I’m back on board and thinking of it as a “rib” for the f***er.

It was either this or the gimmick Joe had on the indies where he was a cult leader with a killer mask (he'd make a killing if they sell those) and a stable that included Alex Reynolds and Dan Berry. I guess this could be an off shoot of that

He's going to get rejected by one of the women and turn into a full blown "nice guy" heel.

When you have the narrative of "WWE heels are avatars for Vince's actual world views" being so widespread, using this specific kind of terminology is playing with fire.

His name is Gacy. GACY.
He's going to be in a tag team with Dexter Lumis before long.
