Vito *spoilers from tonight's Smackdown*
 

Okay, so they've gone as far as to do this crossdressing angle, and they blur it out when his panties show, or what? That just struck me as BIZARRE, but considerring UPN...

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah, I dunno what was going on there.</font>

It's probably just UPN, but it seems odd that we've seen Coach and Vince's ass in those promos (And I'm pretty sure they showed them on Smackdown in video packages), but his ass is censored...

He's a fruit, and UPN doesn't like fruits.

He's not a fruit. Cole said so, and I doubt he's wrong...

...Gaydar and all...

Why are we rehashing this tried angle again, Pillman was in a dress v. Goldust, Regal was too now Vito i am not understanding this-it is not funny.

Cole's Gaydar is always on "0" because it's got a clock-type face and compass-like system.

(Too complicated to be funny?)

For once I was extremely glad the censors work. I mean, g-strings are nice on gals, but they are NOT meant to be worn on guys.

(yes, that's a pretty prejudiced statement, but I can't help it :D )

Don't forget Perry Saturn in WCW. Awful, awful stuff.


I think we're all missing the obvious reason for the censor:

Vito has a vagina. He's censored for his family's protection (mostly his son, who, if he saw Vito's exposed crotch region on TV, would be both extremely confused and probably a little upset), and for the protection of Americans everywhere.

UPN actually did one thing right......I still won't watch smackdown though.

I acctually mark out for a guy in a dress. :shifty:

And we cannot not forget the Horrid "Hardcore Evening Gown" match between Gerald Brisco and Pat Patterson :nono: :shifty:

They censored the midgets' asses on the Raw rebound last week, so I guess it's something about male ass that UPN don't like, which I praise them for. :D

Well, among other things, Pillman in a dress was forced. Vito wants to.

The rest of your post was incoherrent.

Vito's ass and crotch was blurred in Canada on Headline Sports. It's not just UPN.

I thought it was freaking hilarious. I'm loving Vito.

Surprisingly, I see this angle working out for Vito. Now what should happen is there should be a tournament with him, Paul London, Val Venis, Doug Basham, and Mideon for a number one contender's spot. I think it could come down to Val Venis and Doug Basham in the finals, with Doug Basham finally going over, and then winning the WHC at SummerSlam over Mark Henry, Batista, and Rey in a fatal fourway match. Then he can hold it for the next 2 years, and take on all comers. Including Chris Benoit. :shifty:


And then, Alienoid wakes up.

Pillman wore the dress in his matches because he lost a match against Goldust under certain stipulations. Vito is wearing it because it makes him feel 'free'. No rehashing.

Regal was forced too.

i thought it was funny as hell when they blured him out that added to jbl's coments i think that was planed by the wwe.

Funny or not, this isn't the kind of angle that propels you to the main event.

Poor f'n Vito.

At least he seems to be taking it in stride. :lol:

I'll agree there. JBL was absolute GOLD during that match.

That and the "submission move" Vito did was absolutly hilarious. Poor Simon Dean, though. He can't ever get a break.

As if Vito was ever going to be main event material.

the angle sucks ass i think vince got the idea from this seasons sopranos gay vito, so vince put vito in a dress. but the blur segment was pretty funny with jbl the best part of smackdown right now.

To say that Vince got the idea from the Sopranos implies two things:

1. An angle like this wasn't already in the works.
2. Vince is even remoitely in tune with popular culture.

You could argue 1, but there is no way you could ever justify 2.

Apart from JBL.

Not to mention he spent a decent amount of his time right before this on the midcard. You know, not on Velocity?

This is why I love the idea. It gets Vito out there. Sure, he's not going to win the World Title in a dress, as Michael Cole suggest this week, but it's going to get him out of the rut he was in as "Nunzio's bitch". If he actually feuds with someone, and keeps winning matches, the fans will make a statement either for or against him. If the fans go for him, he can turn himself into a pretty solid mid-card face, eventually losing the dresses. If the fans turn against him, he can say that he was never accepted for who he was, go back to proper attire, and turn himself into a mid-card heel.

It may not be a step in the right direction for Vito, per se, but it is a step, and it will give him direction. I think it depends on how they deal with him AFTER he drops the dress that matters.

Also, isn't there some kind of documented fact that one in five men like wearing women's clothing? Vito can maybe slowly turn himself into a parody of "The More You Know". There's just something funny about Vito doing helpful elegent video segments like that.
