I could be wrong, my mind isn’t what it used to be but didn’t Vito get over with this gimmick on Velocity?

He def did, but I'm still voting for it bc it was so terrible and the dude showed his fuckin' dick on that one PPV bc of it

I think Glacier was probably the worst of the two just by how misguided it was and how badly it bombed. But Vito was just a tired stereotype. I have a soft spot for Glacier just for the retro hype videos.

Glacier a bad gimmick? Fuck outta here.

Just before it's time.

Crossdressing never been funny.....ask any black male comedian.

I feel like Glacier is somehow both ahead of and before his time lmao just wasn't meant for that nWo "shoot" era of WCW at all

We got Ali doing that gimmick now so it's all good.

Glacier was Wrong guy, wrong time.

Glacier was also in the AEW Battle Royal so he's still getting checks for the gimmick

So what you're saying is AEW is the new TNA?

The shit with Vito was stupid. However, he would be seen as a hero to many today...

Glacier was actually a cool concept. They just built it up to unreal expectations, so unless he had that one spectacular moment, it was dead in the water from the start.

Lol Vito wouldn't be seen as a hero today just like Billy and chuck wouldn't be bc gay people (which doesn't even apply to Vito, dude just liked wearing dresses) hate all this forced inclusion especially when they're the brunt of all the jokes they hate this forced representation just like the homophobes do bc it makes them look bad, they just want people to casually be gay and the people watching to go "oh okay" without it being their whole character and a major plot point. Lesbians have almost got there I think bc everyone likes the thought of girls kissing girls but every gay guy in shows and movies always got be SUPER gay and it be his whole personality

I disagree. However, I dont want to derail your thread, so we can discuss stuff like that in another thread. I can create on when I get off work, unless my British friends want to go to another Baseball game today.

Might as well just use the politics thread tbh, it needs some more life and doesn't have to just be news posts

Boy, Crossdressing never worked? Just ask Adrian Street if it "never worked".
