This gimmick could go places. The backstage burger joint idea is great. But you need to have them use all sorts of corny, 50's terminology too. They need to say stuff like "Hey square, you wanna see Deuce go? You wanna drag Dice for beers?" I'm a mark for The Wild One. Brando was the man. "You wanna rumble, daddio?" EXACTLY! That is what they need to say when they get a shot at Londrick. And they also need to have one of them do an interview and shout "You're tearing me apaaaaart!" ala James Dean. On the ringside of things, they just need to think up some good movies to do. Snuka Jr. definitely needs to break out his forebearer's old jump off the top rope. Too bad Umaga has the thumb to the throat patented right now; could you just see one of them grab a guy by the neck, flash a Fonzie style thums up and smile at the camera, and then jam the thumb into the throat? I think occassionaly using one of Cherry's skates as an illegal object might work too.

I like them, good show.
Anyone think Domino kinda looked like Sean O'Haire.

I liked the fact JBL mirrored the fans reactions at first, because they DID come out to zero response, and had to earn the heat they got. In the end JBL was like "I can handle 50's music. I can handle their outfits.. I like them!"
I think this one, if used properly, SCREAMS potential. The idea's mentioned here (the dated "daddio" lines, combing the hair before pulling a move) could REALLY take off, as could possible character developments like Cherry not being as innocent as they think, not to mention leading to feuds with other wrestlers for talking to them.
It's something different and its got us all talking. When's the last time we could say THAT for a tag team?
Saying that though, no doubt they'll be squashed by Batista in a fortnight.

I wanna see some backstage segments at the local Burger and Malt joint, or the drive-in movie theatre. And knowing the Double E, you won't be disappointed. But...why did seem like "Deuce" was acting like Andrew "Dice" Clay? Outsiders? Greasers? Lords of Flatbush? Just pick one. I like the new talent they're bringing in.

They could do backstage segments where Cryme Tyme are speaking ghetto and The Greasers are speaking old school 50's, so that no one can understand what the hell either of them are saying. And here's an even better idea: how bout a backstage fight where one of them grabs an opponent by the head and smacks him face first onto a Juke Box, which then proceeds to spin tunes?

Most of us were dead cuz like had been mentioned, it just bam there they were. I had fun with it, like I said I wanted to get a Zucco or Dice Clay chant going, but my friends wouldn't participate darnit. That said I dug 'em. And maybe some of us were booing the 'this is the best arkansas has to offer line' cuz we looked at Jobby Mcjobberson twins and thought ' yeah, this is all we get? BOOOOO"

Im for anything that will get the tag division back on its feet, the way itas been handled in recent years is horrid.

Maybe someone in WWE has been playing Bully? If WWE doesn't debut a Preppie gimmick, I riot. ala Zach Morris and I will be extremely happy

I always thought they were closer to Andrew 'Dice Clay', at least in OVW when Domino used to insult people and end it with a 'Heeeyyyyyyy!' He was. Thats why Its Dice Domino. At least in OVW And Snucka Jr. is adopted

I dunno, this just seems really stupid and irrelevant to me. Maybe if they'd come in on hog bikes rather than the Caddy, and had better music, it'd be more plausible, but what are we meant to believe, that these guys have travelled through time to wrestle in the WWE? Or that Domino and his sister just happened to meet Deuce, and they ALL decided that the 1950s were amazing? Plus, I don't think they DID play their characters well: a couple more viewings of 'Happy Days', 'Grease' and 'Rebel Without A Cause' might help, though. The background story in OVW was that Dice Domino had the 50's gimmick with Cherry as his valet. Snuka jr. was losing match after match and lost confidence in himself. Domino went up to him and talked about going back to the past to find his true Superguy or something like that. But Snuka jr. got the fire back thanks to him and joined Domino. And according to OWW, Domino's real name is Cliff Compton. Which is 10 times more awesome and 50's-like then Dice Domino.

I gotta say on first impressions I like these two. I just hope they don't get built up in a feud with Londrick and are then forgotten about afterwards, like James/Stevens and Kash/Noble were. It made me laugh, and their theme music is freakin' awesome.

I dig the gimmick, but I'm a big fan of gimmicks in general. I know I'm in the minority here, but I miss the days when just about everyone had a gimmick of some kind. And that music is flat out awesome.

In OVW, I wasn't too fond of these guys, but on SD I think they'll go a lot further than KC James/Idol Stevens ( 2 guys who are probably s***-scared right now that Ace hasn't called them up to send them packing).
Their theme is great also, I only wish they did vignettes from a diner that looked similar to the one on Happy Days. That'd be awesome.
