Let's see...
Iron Shiek had the all-time cheap heat gimmick.
JYD was a minstrel wrestler, shucking and jiving.
Jake the Snake, I'll give you, but come on! Those guys were below average workers who had over the top gimmicks. What happened to those days? We had Hassan and still have Davari. We have Teddy Long dancing around now.
Good examples!
If you would have said "What happen to the days of Harley Race" I wouldn't have said anything, but you use piss poor examples.
With that...why such a big deal? Hasn't sex been alluded to countless times on WWE/F television? And to you Truth...aren't you already fed up with the WWE? This is what makes you realize it's going in the wrong direction? After all the years of Bra & Panties matches, Bikini Posedowns, Mark Henry making out with a transvestite, Val Venis sleeping with everyone's wife or sister...and almost getting his "venis" chopped off, Goldust being gay for Razor Ramon, Roddy Piper AND Ahmed Johnson, Vince boinking Trish in front of a comatose Linda and Torrie's father dying of a heart attack after giving Dawn Marie the business (or was it the other way around?) it's this that has you realizing that wrestling is going down the tubes?
Look at it like this:
People hate Edge. They hate Lita even more because they know she's a slut. Edge parades her around like she's the best woman on the face of the planet. They're going to have sex in the ring, not only as a celebration, but to show the world what they can't have - his woman. Only thing is, the fans don't want his woman. That all equals heat. No one wants to see the rat get boinked (well, that's what they'll say), the crowd boos, and someone interfers.
You guys need to lighten up and stop being Jim Cornettes.
