Guest Dam(o)nYankees Report post Posted January 14, 2006 Stephanie had decided that she's a real TV writer. That's why we have "season premiers" and such nonsense. This is a TV drama or sitcom storyline. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Chrisly_2005 Report post Posted January 14, 2006 How many "gay/bisexual" wrestlers have there been? I can think of Rico, Billy & Chuck, The Heart Throbs, and now Orlando Jordan.

Guest FromBeyondTheGrave Report post Posted January 14, 2006 Well, my friend Chris told me a while ago that in OVW there was always talk that Orlando was gay. It's pretty well known in OVW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoff 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2006 My problem with this isn't that he's going to be bisexual; it's that the angle is bisexuality. This could be a very interesting character thing, but they'll use it to make a lot of "funny" gay jokes. Actually, this really doesn't make much sense for a wrestling character, even if they did it well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2006 *WWE's pre-debut press release on Hassan tone* This controversial character change for Orlando Jordan should not be immediately greeted this way. This could be a very positive development that opens some great new story opportunities. While we currently live in a culture that generally is growing more tolerant of those with different lifestyles, the homosexual community is plagued with stereotypes to this day. A bisexual African American is one important step that could be taken to assuage this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrRant 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2006 If Orlando isn't on his cell phone leaving messages on party lines to hook up with some men and smoke some meth in an orgy of male on male action like on Intervention then I'll refuse to believe he is gay/bi.

Who did i miss? By the way, poor Orlando's career is about over now. Jesus H. Christ, the generation gap here astounds me these days. Try: Adrian Adonis, Adrian Streete, Lanny Poffo, Goldust, Brian Christopher/Scott Taylor, Lenny/Lodi, Shawn Michaels. Alright, I made that last one up, but you never know...

dubq 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2006 Judging from this, and from Shelton's momma, I'm starting to think that the writeres are racist. I fear for Booker T and even Viscera's futures. While I don't dispute the possibility that WWE writers might be quite predjudiced, I think you're really reaching by associating that assumption with this angle. Every other "alternative lifestyle" gimmick in WWE has been saddled on a white guy. Time to jump off the bandwagon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Interracial relationships are still frowned upon over a lot of the southern US. What he means is, the southern states are full of rednecks. Why be polite about it? They're a bunch of sociopathic gay-bashing homophobes whose idea of a good way to relate to gays is to bash their skulls in. The sad truth is, the Catholics are actually more tolerant of gays than Protestants are.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's been pushed as a credible US champion and in the past few weeks turned face somehow, I think he's a great cocky midcard wrestler...this Bi gimmick will fuck his career, which is BS after JBL saved it with Orlando as his chief of staff.

TheInsane 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2006 I dont really think the WWE writers are racists. But they do conciously play up stereotypes to create publicity and shock value. If they were racists they wouldnt push Booker like they did in the best of 7 (before the injury that is). Trinity could be a asset to the womens division but I'd rather see OJ get fired and that is what I think will happen eventually because of this. I cant see why WWE still want us to buy into homosexual gimmicks (even if this one is supposedly bisexual). They cant do anything they havent already done with it. And besides they already have The Heart Throbs acting stereotypical gay on RAW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
