Any thoughts?

McMahon told NBC OUT her organization is committed to inclusive storytelling going forward.

“We will integrate LGBT characters into our programming … and I do think there will be an opportunity to integrate some of those storylines in the near future,” she said.

Through its partnership with GLAAD, an LGBT media advocacy organization, WWE is also prioritizing sensitivity in their writers’ room.

“We’ve had GLAAD come in and speak to our entire writing team and give a whole tutorial on sensitivities, the right words, the wrong word [and] why those words matters,” she explained. “I think that with their guidance and support, we will be able to portray that [LGBT storyline] appropriately.”

Another Brock and Kurt storyline in the works then?

2 things about them pushing gay gimmicks:
-If this a thing, no cringeworthy cornball ****. Which I fully expect
-I hope crowds don't start with the homophobic chants for the dudes that get booked with those gimmicks. Regardless I don't think it's cool to push that onto someone that isn't comfortable playing that role.

Natalya and Luke Harper have been doing "michinokO drivers" for years B

 

[Bad Moon Rison]

Anybody remember "The Dress" gimmick.

Michinoku Drives are pretty regular in WWE now and Sami busted out a ring apron brainbuster at Battlegrounds last month

This, but the WWE has pushed embarrassing stuff on their wrestlers for years and punished them for not making it work

Yep, and also Sami. Dana Brooke at least just uses a variation of it as a finisher

 

[B Sox]

Yall agree with this list? https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2016/08/the-best-pro-wrestlers-of-2016-so-far.html

Trash list. No Reigns.

I think Vince loses his touch sometimes. The Dress gimmick for Vito was bad.
When they signed Nakamura, I could see Vince telling hunter & shane " I got a Sushi Chef gimmick that would fit him perfectly."
