Is this the greatest gimmick ever or what?

No, absolutely not.
There was nothing on TV yesterday so I decided to tune into Smackdown! It wasn't a bad show, Kane's promo was solid as was the Ziggler/Kofi match. I turned off before the Main Event though, so can't judge that.
The only problem was Cody Rhodes. His entire segment about nose hairs was absolutely ridiculous, the fact that he looks in the mirror and there's no reflection at all is stupid, and his look in the ring is horrendous. Someone that lanky and pasty should not wear short tights, especially if they have little to no definition in their legs. He's also one of the worst built wrestlers, with nothing really distinguishable in the ring.
I'd like to see him succeed, but this gimmick and the lack of work done in the ring by him is absolutely awful, it reminds me of when they brought in Nathan Jones and he had no ability in the ring.

To be fair, it's mostly common knowledge. That and I don't know many people that are under the age of 40 that have nose hair like that so it doesn't effect me.
One other thing, how many narcissist characters are they going to have? Dos Caras Jr and Cody Rhodes with essentially the same gimmick, it's just stupid. Smackdown used to be the show you could watch, but RAW is leaps and bounds better, and that's with Cole on Commentary.

What Crissy said. "Dashing" Cody Rhodes FTW!
Way better than every other "grrrrscowl" heel

One other thing, how many narcissist characters are they going to have? Yeah, they totally ripped on Alan Christopher's gimmick! Alan was the premier narcissist! I was a narcissistic bastard before being a narcissistic bastard was the cool thing to do.  That being said I actually like "Dashing" Cody Rhodes. He'd do well to take some tips from Alan Christopher though, I'm sure Alan could help to get him over. |

That's a low blow. He won't reach Virgo level until he's a narcissistic straightedge vampire underdog. <_<

Alan, you're bordering on Virgo territory bud. I'm not really sure what you mean by that, but...you know what my gimmick was like in the ECF. Just saying, I was able to write him in a way that "fans" could truly love to hate. |

I know it's not your intent to do that but still, this is the out-of-character boards, and the social one as well. I'd understand slightly in the KoP OOC boards, but here, just be yourself 'cause you're an upstanding dude. |

I'm disappointed, CK. I don't really know the incident, but I'm petty sure the appropriate response was "Alan falls into line like it was a table!"
Haha. Though that said, people give him shit all over the place for his characters, so I don't think its fair to rag on him for playing up his character :-p
