"Blah blah blah ur mad" Cassidy's and especially Ryan's gimmicks are just so stupid and obviously phony to me and I just can't take either seriously. It just underminds whatever talent they do have. People complain when WWE does stupid stuff, rightfully so, but people are fine when Indy guys do the dumbest stuff. I hear you, but Cassidy wasn't getting noticed prior to this gimmick. He was doing what everyone else was doing, and when he switched to this gimmick it got over. He could be worse, like Super Cop Dick Justice or Gentleman Jervis. I can only imagine Cornette would have an aneurism seeing either of them. People want something new and interesting. It isn't about how realistic every gimmick is--If it was, the Undertaker would have sunk down the card on half of his gimmick tweaks over the years. Instead, it's about embracing an idea and personality in a way that people connect with somehow. Doesn't really matter how it's done. That said, some of the Orange Cassidy stuff rubs me the wrong way. I think the half-hearted strikes and stuff is great, but he oversells the gimmick a bit with the hands in his pockets all the time and other facets of it. If he refined it a bit it would definitely be something I could get behind, but right now it's just a bit too corny for my tastes. Then again, I loved Mankind and Golddust as a kid. How much more absurd is Cassidy? I might as well add that Ryan's gimmick is solid gold, but the "Dick Flip" has a very short shelf life. I think the "Hyper-masculine phallic-obsessed to the point of latent and oblivious homosexuality" is a funny gimmick that can either be played for a legitimate threat or laughs (Depending on whether you emphasis the Ron Swanson-esque masculinity or Golddust-esque repressed sexuality). Marko Stunt doesn't really look like he can wrestle or even sell particularly well imo, which is far bigger problem than his "gimmick", which is fine. Just another twist on Underdog. --- I presume my time here in my darkblack dragondark steel-obliterating solitude has come to its end as well. http://www.last.fm/user/Pogo92 <cite>Pogo_Marimo posted [p:929182245] in What's the...
