I didn't think keeping kayfabe was THAT important anymore....
 
In order to maintain his character, Vito has been wearing a dress anytime he's in the public eye while traveling for WWE, including the airports and hotels. Seriously. I've been told by several that if that decision has bothered him, Vito hasn't shown it in the least, acting like he's fine with the idea and having fun with it


:rofl:

How much money does he make?

Xero 06-16-2006 06:47 PM

Is he going to be playing Mrs. Claus this year?

Rammsteinmad 06-16-2006 06:59 PM

If he speaks against it, we'll soon get a link to "WWE wishes Vito the best in all future endeavors."

Why do you think they are doing it?

Arnold HamNegger 06-16-2006 07:53 PM

Rumor has it that he's doing the Diva Playboy shoot next year. :shifty:

Wasn't the same thing done years ago in WCW with Saturn?

To show the public the plight of the transgendered, something to which he has been sympathetic since Stephen McMahon got that operation and became "Daddy's Little Princes?"

Vito has to wear a dress but RVD isn't allowed to openly smoke pot? That's bullshit.

Skippord 06-17-2006 12:35 AM

Maybe Vito is actually a tranny?

Corkscrewed 06-17-2006 12:46 AM

Maybe they're bringing back the Headbangers?

Yeah, but Saturn was a freak. In the end he was more goth than a crossdresser if you can see the difference.

Funky Fly 06-17-2006 06:15 AM

K, weird.

Anyway, remember to post the source.

crash99 06-17-2006 11:53 AM

Poor guy.

Volare 06-17-2006 12:16 PM

seriously....POOR!!

Xero 06-17-2006 12:20 PM

Think he'll change his name to Bito? :shifty:

Kane Knight 06-17-2006 01:41 PM

Naw. Just Bi Vito.

Y2Jeremy 06-17-2006 04:43 PM

Apparently creative told him that they are serious and feel that he has the skills to make this a legimate character....Bullshit. they are not going to put a major strap on a guy with a dress anytime soon. bank on it.

Volare 06-17-2006 05:24 PM

why...they did with Chyna??






j/k for any serious Chyna Fans....riiiiight

Kane Knight 06-17-2006 06:00 PM

Are there serious Chyna fans?

Xero 06-17-2006 06:24 PM

Are there any Chyna Fans?

Kane Knight 06-17-2006 06:30 PM

Foley_Is_God, but I never took him seriously.

Shadow 06-19-2006 04:15 PM

I did.

Kane Knight 06-19-2006 09:39 PM

Were you even around long enough to have read his shtick?

The whole wrestler-in-a-dress gimmick has been done to death. Vito, Droz, Saturn, Harvey Wippleman, Headbangers, Goldust.... probably forgetting a load.

It's something to do when I'm high.

in other news Mark Henry has broken Kayfabe on several occasions. By going out looking like the worlds fattest man, instead of the worlds strongest man.

Afterlife 06-20-2006 08:39 AM

I agree this is a bogus enforcement. Glen Jacobs was always allowed to go into public maskless. Press conferences and whatnot, that's another story; you keep the character, b/c you're plugging the show. But your life is your life. The situation is similar with Nick Dinsmore, although I'd see his kayfabe as a bit more extreme.

Kane Knight 06-20-2006 10:19 AM

Several people were told to keep in Kayfabe outside of the "business." That included both Eugene and the chick with the Star Trek prop on her face. Though it is a good question: What gimmick would be the more damaging to keep outside of WWE? Retarded, or Trans?

Skippord 06-20-2006 10:39 AM

Jillian Hall is so hot without the thing

Yeah and all but ONE of these ppl have held either a singles or tag team championship or both. :shifty:

NeanderCarl 06-20-2006 10:06 PM

Actually, they ALL have.

owenbrown 06-20-2006 11:29 PM

Droz never was a champion.

NeanderCarl 06-21-2006 12:21 AM

My bad, I coulda sworn he was once European champion, but I now realise he was feuding over that title, and probably would have had a swing with it, when he broke his neck.

Anyway, just because all (or most) of those guys have held titles, doesn't mean that the dress gimmick works.
