Another "What Were They Thinking?" Story-line from the WWE (2006)

[Playaz Eyez]

Anybody remember this mess?

The WWE for awhile now has not been in tune at all with pop culture, but the handful of attempts they try to, this is the route they go, lifting The Sopranos story-line. Big Vito was dead in the water with this gimmick. I'm never amazed when the WWE brings in people regardless of fanfare, and saddles them with a trash gimmick, then punishes the wrestler instead of the creative team for not getting over.

 

[Ill Lou Malnati]

It was supposed to be HILARIOUS to see a tough looking Italian guy wrestle in a dress.


Shame, because Vito was actually over a bit during his WWE run.

 

[Notorious 1 E.Y.E.]

I forgot the name of that stable
But all 3 of them were over...... then they broke them up and put Vito in a dress and stalled him out

 

[Vinny Lupton]

that's that #VinceHumor. same thing that has Primo and Epico being travel agents or whatever

I think you may be talking about this version of Full Blooded Italians

 

[Da King]

GOATsso was right about Wyatt, in making him a GAY character. WWE needs to just go all the way with and get the buzz back

Like straight make out with the guy before he Sister AbiGails him?

Thank god I stopped watching during this time

No, no need to sexualize the character like it's some C movie, he just does what he does but happens to be gay

I wish I could burn some of that period in time out my memory. 09-11 may have been a tragically boring, tame, watered down era outside of a couple standout things, 04-07 (particularly 06-07) featured great highs (Eddie, Benoit, HBK resurgence, etc) and absolutely brutal lows (Benoit , Eddie's death, Brock & Goldberg leaving, Heidenreich, Snitsky, WWECW, Orlando Jordan, Mordecai, Etc)

 

[Vic Damone. Jr]

Instant channel switch when his theme hit

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

Him and nunzio had on lock for the Italian wrestlers in the 2000s.

For what?
