The Dalton Castle appreciation thread

I'm 100% hetero, and even *I* think this is fucking glorious.

I said in the 100,000,000,000.001101 and 1/2 replies thread that this guy is the epitome of what Vince wanted in the 90's with Goldust or Marc Mero. The gimmick itself is campy enough to fall into Rocky Horror territory, and he pulls it off. The "henchmen" are a nice touch. And it doesn't overshadow or overcompensate for what he can do in the ring from bell to bell. Kid can go. Seeing this guy makes me feel like I did when I first saw Husky Harris step into the Bray Wyatt role.

Castle pulls off the gimmick well. Of all the flamboyant bizarre gimmicks today his is my favorite.

Dalton Castle is Goddamn amazing.

I prefer the idea you had of hijacking the latest Triple H appreciation thread though.

[#1-norm-fan]

Then again... Why not do both?

[Tom Guycott]

Decided against it. Not so much because I respect HHH or not wanting to hurt Mr. Steele's feel bads as much as this guy deserves his own goddamn thread!

He should be the new patron saint of Teh People's Wrestling Westeros.

[Dark One]

If the Lesnar gimmick wasn't integral to my identity on here in the midst of TAG TEAM TURMOIL, I'd probably make a switch to The Dalton Castle.

Maybe in 2017 when Tag Team Turmoil is over.

[The Destroyer]

Hadn't seen him at all until I randomly watched an RoH episode a week ago and saw his match against Liger. I was quite impressed.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Apparently he's got an NCAA background? Given that he knows how to play a gimmick, can work, has a decent look -- he'll probably end up in the WWE before too long.

As part of the Authority and member of the Church of Triple H I don't see this happening




Loved Dalton's match, the masked jabroni was good as well. Truth Martini can take notes on how to be obnoxious from this guy

[Innovator]

Just wait for Dalton Castle

[road doggy dogg]

Does he fly to the ring in the Blackbird?

[Anybody Thrilla]

He's alright. I think he just stands out in ROH because a lot of the wrestlers there have no personality to speak of.

[Bad News Gertner]

Smooth Sailing Ashley Remington is better

All of his promos need to be done like this.

Nothin but smooth sailin!

[Mr. Nerfect]

He'd be a great tag team partner for Brad Maddox.

Jay's face at the end

[Dark One]

Smooth Sailing Ashley Remington is better

Let's just agree that this man is the next Ric Flair, if Ric Flair was the son of God.

[road doggy dogg]

"if" :?:

[Frank Drebin]

Tyler Breeze wants to know where his thread is.

[road doggy dogg]

FRANK DREBIN, maybe you could do him the greatest of INTERNET FORUM honours and create the thread for him.

[Heisenberg]

he looks like Robin of Locksley from RH: Men In Tights

[Tom Guycott]

... so you're saying Achoo and Blinkin are "my boys"?

[Dark One]

Tyler Breeze wants to know where his thread is.

I now want to see Dalton Castle vs. Tyler Breeze in NXT. I would pay money for that.

He came out..... with WOMEN! :rant: Now, I've "excused" a lot of your behavior TNA, but this....... is beyond excusing

[Tom Guycott]

Even worse with the fact that Orlando Jordan got away with... whatever the fuck he was doing on his entrance.

And they edited out his music in post? With some toddler banging on a Casio with synth strings selected? Fie, TNA! A pox upon ye!

[#1-norm-fan]

Dalton Castle with women = Gay

[Tom Guycott]

Upon further review, Dalton Castle is pretty good.

This should be in the proper appreciation thread...

When something needs done, you should do it yourself. ..

He did a post-RAW show with a giant picture of himself in his background.

he looks really feminine to me, haha. Not sure if he's going to amount to much but ive been proven wrong before.

[Dark One]

You are wrong right now.

[StuartFinnigan]

u don't think he looks kinda feminine? Just the way he acts is kind of weird. Even the guys he was going to face kinda had that "what the fuck" look if you look closely.

[Simple Fan]

That's his gimmick, a flamboyant wierdo that can whip your ass and he fits it well. Dude just knows how to entertain.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Dalton Castle will one day end up in the WWE.

[slik]

one of my friends on twitter introduced me to dalton castle and I like what i've seen so far, solid gimmick

[road doggy dogg]

he looks like a slightly less irritating Adam Rose

[Dark One]

Dalton Castle will one day end up <s>in the WWE</s> as WWE Champion.

he looks like a slightly less irritating Adam Rose

He is pretty much the "done right" version of the "prototype" gimmick that is Adam Rose. Basically Bray Wyatt to Waylon Mercy.

[erickman]

goldust without the makeup love his fued with the last real man hope the wwe pic him up.

[Tom Guycott]

Dalton Castle will one day end up in the WWE.

He has the tools. The question would be if WWE fucks with his gimmick at all after his nearly requisite name change... Dalton is a unique enough name, so that part may work out, but The Boys may be problematic not only for the implied group sex but also, in that they would be two other "mouths to feed", so to speak. If they actually are a compotent tag team and not just roster filler/arm charms/ literal furniture, that would be a big part of the whole presentation being carried over to Titan Towers.

[Simple Fan]

Yea if he went to the WWE he would be totally repackaged and not be the same. Talents in ROH have a lot more creative control over their character than people in WWE. I could see him having a pyscho type gimmick in WWE that is a lot different from his current character. Although WWE could present his current gimmick pretty good I just don't see WWE going along with it. The boys could just be some NXT guys that are training and not on the roster yet but like I said I could see WWE completely changeling his gimmick.

And for all that, this could be a gimmick they give to someone else that is already in WWE or NXT... and then again, they seem to already be swimming in various degrees of psychos.

I also see WWE making the mistake TNA made by making The Boys into girls; cutting out most of the camp gay in one fell hatchet job. Also, remember that whole out of context controversy thing where Al Snow supposedly hated and abused women, which cost him from being able to use Head anymore? Now imagine how bad that would be taken out of context in a social media world and a guy using women as ring steps and chairs in the publicly traded company that is WWE.

[Seth82]

Dalton is awesome!

been a fan for the last couple of weeks now. I actually have been watching some ROH tv just to see him.

[Mr. Nerfect]

The WWE is getting better and better at letting guys take what works and running with it. They take it to NXT and Vince is sort of like "Well, okay..."

[Tom Guycott]

Oh shit, he has shirts!

well shirt.
