Honestly you guys are such fucking smarks sometimes.
I decided to let this whole Orlandogate thing simmer before I posted my views, and it seems, for good reason.
I love this gimmick. The whole thing seems to fit very well with Jordan and it doesn't seem miscontrived or just too fake, which is an accomplishment in this day and age. And the fact is, it's not something like a Vance Archer or Barreta/Croft where you take one look at them and know you couldn't give a shit about them, this gimmick forces people to stop and think "what the fuck is this shit?!" Wherever or not this is a good view or bad, the fact is, it's getting attention (unless your name is Muhammad Hassan, and that was just pure coincedence that shit happened when it did).
It is true what they say, the smarks are killing the business, it's so funny how, in this PG era of WWE, when they are hungry for something more edgy and dangerous, that the moment they get it, they complain that it's too much. Typical. The fact is, this has the potential to be great. At the beginning of a certain Virgil Runnels III's run as Goldust, people said the same thing. The hypocrites were silenced. The run was a success, and it opened wrestling to new possibilties in terms of storylines and how far they could push the button. Hell, Goldust is still here to this day. That doesn't sound like a failed gimmick to me.
What really annoys me as well, is that people say "Oh, I don't like it, he's creepy..." He's a fucking Heel. You're not supposed to like him. You're not supposed to like Jericho with his hypocritical and holier-than-thou attitude. You're not supposed to like C.M Punk with his Messiah complex. You're supposed to pay your good hard-earned money to watch the good guys try to beat these horrible people up. But the fact, the IWC has smudged that line. How is it exactly that a wrestling company is suppose to draw up story lines if the heels get pops and the faces get heat? It's like fucking Wonderland. Add the fact that TNA's audience seems to be laced with the smarkist community and that makes that almost a fact.
Also, to the people saying they gave the gimmick to a bad wrestler, the fact is:
a) the smarks would know the other guys
probably aren't bi, and the gimmick would probably be misregarded as Russo's overindulgent shit. Jordan is really "the only gay in the vill-large" as that little bald bloke from Little Britain would say, and that's what puts the crowd on tender-hooks.
b) We haven't really seen the guy put on a full-on match since he left WWE (since by the way, was nearly five years ago) so let's hold our judgement until we see such. Also, was
watching Hermie's Hotseat with him, apparently he's a four time All American at Boise U (might be wrong with the four time, but I think he said four) so the guy's obviously got the athletics to go.
You don't like Orlando Jordan? You want to see him and his trendy boytoy eat a guy like Samoa Joe's foot? Good. Because that's the way it's supposed to be. Yes, he's creepy, he's over-the-top and he likes boys. But the fact, this guy is money. He just signed a multi-term deal so you're gonna have to get used to his antics if you want to enjoy TNA. Oh, and his music is pretty dope, as these socially-endowed kids with their balloons and their stickers say today.
Agree with me here.
