Fans, in general, think that the gay thing is a waste of time. Seriously, is there anyway to take Rico as anytihng more than a joke when one of his mainstay moves right now is to get his opponent on all fours and then ride him like a pny all around the ring. You really think Rico is over? And you really think adding two more guys like him will be a better idea? [Note: I also think Lawler would be quite a good addition to the rooster, but I hate that gimmick idea. Hate, hate, hate. ] [Another note: the flamboyant gimmick has been done rather successfully in the past by Adrian Adonis and Adrian Street...both men were freakishly femme on the outside of the ring, but legit and rather stiff (no pun intended) inside the ring. The fact that the face was getting his ass kicked by a "queer" is what got heat; not any ridiculous prancing around.]
And giving Rikishi a push? That's just a presonal preference thing. I don't think Rikishi is worth a damn in the ring and that there are at least a dozen wrestlers that are more deserving of a US push..including some guys in OVW.
So, basically, I disagreed with you. I wasn't the only one in the thread to disagree with you. And if this is a discussion, then I have the right to voice my opinion. I'm sorry you're so sensitive. I wasn't flaming you personally, just your suggestion.

Your entitled to your own opinion, it's just that I never really said I liked the idea, just using what was proposed. Billy & Chuck were over HUGE, Rico, too. Rico still gets a better reaction than half the roster. I wasn't directly flaming you either, I just think it is a bit strange to flame ideas that are other people's when the only other alternative is to have wrestlers rot. :-\
I personally think if they did make a stable Rikishi should play the bodyguard role, Scotty 2 Hotty could play the airhead he is now, Brian Lawler could play the guy who thinks he's living in his father's shadow, Rico could play the "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" type role and Miss Jackie would be their valet/manager.
Sorry, I was out of line before, I didn't mean to attack your post, I was just trying to defend mine. Everyone's entitled to their opinios, but if there is one thing that really ticks me off here, is the certain disrespect to certain wrestlers. I personally can't do half of what they do, so I've nevr bashed a wrestler in my life. But that's just me. I'm sorry I got a bit carried away, no hard feelings. :wave:
