Apparently, Mikey and Nicky, formerly of the Spirit Squad, are testing a Frat Boy gimmick in OVW. Named, uncreatively at this point, "The Frat Boys," Mikey and Nicky are teaming in OVW. It looks pretty ridiculous as they are definitely beyond college age... but the Spirit Squad was in the same vein. Mikey looks pretty ridiculous, short and squaty as he is in tight bicycle shorts and a backwards cap. The only way it would work would be an Old School gimmick where they are older but are pretending to be young again. I guess poor Mikey and Nicky are destined for a comedy act in WWE. Maybe this is why WWE is preventing Steve Corino from using the term "Old School."
Has anyone else seen this on OVW tv? Is this a good next step or a huge misstep?

Damn, I really wanted to see Mikey Mondo bring his Giant Killer gimmick to WWE.

Well I'd boo them; I've never been a big fan of the stereotypical "frat boy" mentality, so if they played that up I'd probably mark a little bit.
Does mikey still call out his name? "MIKEY!!"

It comes across too low key and bland for two guys who have been involved in major storylines with the biggest players in the WWE for nearly a year. Seems like one of those bland, faceless, Power Plant graduate teams that showed up on WCW Saturday Night years back.

that's their frat boy get-up? they should be wearing plaid knee-length shorts and a bright Lacoste polo with the collar popped. they should also be reeking of Jager, randomly commiting date rape, and acting blatantly homo-erotic around each other.

Perhaps a "Big" John Heidenreich/"Little" Nicky tag team would license to print money?

My friend had one of the older Smackdown games and I made this gimmick as soon as I found the Greek letters. At least mine looked better than these guys. I get a Bodydonnas flashback from the picture of these two though.

That looks less like "wrestling frat boys" and more like "wrestlers wearing hats".

Looks like this is as close as were gonna get as far as the return of the Mean Street Posse goes. If theyre gonna be frat boys dress them up like that already have theme music too.

So let me guess what happens to the other two... Mitch gets released, and Johnny goes to Smackdown or ECW and gets a great midcard push? I hope so.

I always thought Mikey would make a kickass insane manager character.
But this sounds alright too.

It is a shame that most of the SS members (With the exception of Kenny Doane and possibly Jeter) will be stuck with these shitty go nowhere gimmicks until they eventual get fed up with the 'E and go right to TNA.

They don't look too old to do a frat boy gimmick. They are perfect for the part frat leaders in their eighth year of college with no degree. They could pull a Sid and purposely botch promos whose intent is to make the opponent look stupid....We have half the brains you do....It took us 9 years to get a degree that most people do in four. |

There's a lot of potential in Nick Nemeth by himself. He should get a gimmick that focuses on his amateur wrestling skill and makes him a "I'm better than everyone" type heel in the process. Sort of like early WWE Kurt Angle.
