Cokeboy's plan for Ellsworth: Become a Transwoman and Challenge Charlotte for SD Womens title at WM

:mybama:

this would have gone over horribly. so much backlash from the gay mafia, they would have had to dead it after a week. they would have gotten some mainstream attention tho something they've lacked for a decade

WWE have sponsors though. They don't want the sort of mainstream attention this would have brought. This would be the CNN equivalent of the Muhammad Hassan fukkery. Crazy thing is if shyt went down Ellsworth and a couple of writers would have been scapegoats and lose their jobs yet the crazy guy in charge would still be in charge.

This probably would have caused a ton of controversy and got advertisers threatened cuz the tran rights groups would have been offended cuz he likely would have been a heel and would be nothing but comedy and not taken as a serious thing.

But there was an opportunity to make something like this work and kind of show all sides of it and be able to be controversial but not cross lines where they lose advertisers

But either way people would get offended on either side

So had everything gone Vince's way we would have seen both Bray and Ellsworth in a dress?

He's a deviant.

 

[Kidd Dibiase]

the only way they could do this is to hire a trans writer and let them have significant creative control...which Vince doesn't like to do

 

[GiantGonzalez]

The fukkery when Lsworth would've gotten surgery and fired the next week

 

[MushroomX]

Ellsworth might not have the best looks, but you got to give it to him that he wouldn't degrade himself. Not that being transgender is bad, but like Ells would always be reminded of that shyt for a some cheep ass ploy.

Would have been entertaining to watch

Vince has admitted to having sex with men so the tranny and gay angles are really just sexual pathology and projection.

 

[reigun]

with trans rights being highlighted in 2017 this actually would've been genius...BUT you're gonna be hard pressed to find a wrestler who is willing to commit to this and it'd be a long shot that WWE didn't turn this into a complete comedy gimmick

I don't know about "genius." Like, do you really think WWE could have handled this in a way that wouldn't have been totally crass and uncomfortable for everyone involved?

I feel like until there are significant creative shifts behind the scenes, WWE shouldn't be touching any kind of sensitive, hot button issues.

 

[prophecypro]

WWE would have been DESTROYED by the LGBT community

I've got to believe Vince mentioned it as an idea in a meeting and Trips came through with the strong and explanation

 

[MenacingMonk]

Everyone thinking this would be a good idea are delusional AF.

GLAAD and SJW would be losing it when they find out a straight man is in the role.

I forgot about that where Santino was his own "sister". Vito wore a dress too. Bray Wyatt is Sister Abigail. What is up with this company and having people crossdress? Come to think of it there's a lot of just really suspect stuff. Everything from crossdressing to the Kiss my Ass club to Chuck and Billy to potentially giving Ellsworth a transsexual character. What the fukk is going through Vince's mind

Lots and lots of blow :flabbyvince:
