haws bah gawd 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2006 Aside from killing Orlando's career, this angle will also kill Trinity's career in the Southern US. Why? 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.... I live in South Carolina and am as far from a Redneck as you can get, thank you very much.

Si82 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2006 Fuck this, as an Orlando Jordan fan. 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. When was Jordan ever pushed as a credible US champion? He barely defended the belt in the five months he held it and even then he was only ever made out to be JBL's lackey.

Dobbs 3K 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2006 Yeah...ever notice how in a lot of reality shows when they show a couple from the South, they often show interracial couples? I don't live in the South and don't know a lot of people from that area of the country, but acting like this is the 1890s and it's just a bunch of inbred Klansmen is just stupid.

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. I am sure I missed some. 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... And, his career is not over. It's just taking a turn for "the stupid". Yea, i will give you Adonis, Goldust(artist version w/ Luna), Too Cool, and Lenny/Lodi from WCW but i still have no idea who Lanny Poffo. I have heard of Adrian Streete but i had no idea what his gimmick was. When and where were Poffo and Streete wrestling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's mainly those who's only exposure to the south is through Jerry springer and Maury Povich that think the south is full of nothing but inbred, racist, alcoholic redneck assholes. Some people have no idea what it's like in other areas of the country. Quite a few years back I went to a football camp in the midwest, with players from everywhere. One thing I will never forget is how a player from California had the impression everyone from my state went around shoeless (except on Friday nights, the cleats) and shot our own meals out in the woods or didn't eat. If he had been joking in a non-abusive or put down way, it would have been funny, but he was serious. Others weren't that off the track but they had similar wrong impressions. Yes, I'm sure some in the south who've never been to a major northern or western city think it's non-stop murders and everything else you can see on TV. But the southerner is basically the only segment now that can be the BUTT of jokes and ridicule without any backlash. Shame, it's 2006 and some still think that way.

IRL Linda was his wife...and what made the gimmick work for Street is that he pissed off the crowd with his feminine antics...then opened up a can of whoop-ass once in the ring. That made people want to see someone rip him apart that much more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2006 It's also why Rico's tribute didn't work. He got a few wins, and just when you think they were committed to making him a dominant heel, he was either jobbing again or only wrestling on Velocity. Then got released. Any time WWE has an idea that has a lot of promise, they'll often drop it if it doesn't get over like gangbusters right away. However, a guy they're high on will get chance after chance even if heatless. Also common, if it is a bad idea, they assume it is the worker's fault for not making it work. Can anyone here even remember the last time the Heart-throbs even had a Raw match, let alone won? They ran out of ideas for the Simon Dean character about 3 weeks in.

CanadianChick 0 Report post Posted January 19, 2006 WWE is planning to remake Orlando Jordan and give him a bisexual character. Former TNA valet Trinity and Jordan's real life friend Erik are set to serve as his love interests/managers for the new gimmick. The three will have a love triangle of sorts. Considering how UPN has been somewhat picky with controversial characters, it remains to be seen how far WWE goes with this new character. CREDIT 411mania.

To everyone who replied: I didn't say you are ALL Rednecks, I said it's full of them. Maybe not where you live, if you live in a bigger city.. but most of the more isolated towns in the South have a high population of rednecks who don't like inter-racial reltaionships, gays, punks, etc. At least a higher population than the rest of the states and Canada, from what I've seen.

Guest jumpingbombangel Report post Posted January 19, 2006 Meltzer's update: Trinity starts imminently on the main WWE roster playing the female half of a male/female love interest role for the new bisexual Orlando Jordan character. Hope you enjoyed your career Orlando Dammit Orlando Jordan making out with other men does not appeal to me and I'm a proud fruit fly/fag hag/queer dear. If the WWE wants to do anything gay from this day forward, Rico Constantino should automatically be involved. And he should immediately start making out with John Cena because that shit would be hot.
