Hmmm. It starts with Palumbo and Gunn. Then Stasiak. Then Albert and Scotty. And the roster grows... for the FWO.

The FWO would be such a great idea...I'm surprised Heyman hasn't jumped all over that yet. A gang of tough *pretty boys*
I heard that Mike Sanders did a good gay voice and they were actually going to make him start using it. Maybe they will bring him up and add him to the group. I can't believe i'm bringing this up cause i'm a huge Sanders mark and doing a gay gimmick ends your career, but he IS better than Billy and Palumbo on the mic, and he WOULD be a good mouthpiece. Sanders, Billy, Palumbo, Stasiak, it might just work.
Although wearing pink doesn't necessarily make them gay. Cause Starbursts made pink acceptable for guys!
Being crushed... under sheer.... weight of quoted replies... must... reach...utility....belt....
They could bring Val Venis and the Godfather back to defend heterosexuality, instant heel heat for the AGB and super facedom for Supply and Demand or whatever they were going to call those two... AGB could make a huge living simply never coming all the way out while the Hetero World Order tried to prove they were gay...

He wasn't gay, but he _was_ a necrophiliac. Now THAT'S an upgrade.

Alternatively, they could bring back Steven Richards and the RTC to criticize Gunn and Palumbo. That would turn them into a face team.
It's not 1982 anymore. It's not even 1998. A gay heel team is just not going to get heat now. Nobody is going to care.
There are two ways Gunn/Palumbo could go: either a comedic heel team who gets face pops because they are funny along the lines of Kai-en-tai (or maybe even E&C if they move them up the card enough), or back to jobber land.
Good lord, didn't Vince learn from Too Much? Or is the gay tag-team just something he won't quit on even when years beyong its social relevancy? Next thing you know Harvey Whippleman will be back managing gigantic foreign heels.

I think anyone that's seen Lenny Lane and Lodi would disagree with you.

Like wrestle on Jakked! I mean, if I were still in WCW, would I have been able to wrestle on Jakked, a WWF show?! I think NOT! Thank you for the opportunity, Vince! (tool)"- "The Shooter" Dean Malenko
Lenny and Lodi get face heat from smart fans. I recall that when they were with the WCW they were doing run-ins on WCW Saturday night. (I'm not being facetious, I actually did see them do a run in on WCW Saturday night a few years ago when I was at a Madison, WI show. Lodi got a couple "Lodi" chants, but other than that, nothing. The pop for the Gambler was bigger).

Actually, instead of taking from the vast amount of wrestler's lives he owns, or buying a new one, he's using wrestlers that have already outworn their look/image, but haven't been seen recently, to make a team that we've seen before but can't put our finger on...
Yeah, ok, so there's Lenny and Lodi. How many CORE WWF fans really remember seeing THEM on their TV screen? I'd say, aside from the smarks, very few.
[edit] And, also, they're already paying Palumbo and Monty. They're NOT paying Lenny and Lodi. They're having a few problems with money at the moment...
---=---:---=--- [Look up a line] Wow, that belt looks like crap... I'll take it and carry it around for years and see if people can take it away from me... What? What was that? You mean even THIS belt doesn't matter! What? I'm insulted! Get away from me you... you... defiler!
The problem with their whole gimmick is "where do you go after this?". I don't particularly care about Gunn, I think we can all agree that he's had enough chances throughout the years, and if this kills his career dead then the WWF finally will have gotten that right at least. But Palumbo is young and, and while green, pretty talented. How do you go from "gay tag teamer" to anything respectable after that?
As for other repackaging...hell, after last night realizing that Scotty/Albert, Gunn/Palumbo, APA, Dudleys and now Tazz/Spike are the only teams that they have, the WWF should take everyone that isn't on TV and repackage them into teams at least make the attempt to pump some life into this division. Buchanan/Blackman, D'lo/Henry, Godfather/Venis, all of the WCW guys. The tag team scene is flatlining.

Scottay and Grandmaster started out as gay. Now Scottay isn't totally gay anymore. Beside I can see this whole thing blowing (no pun intended) over when someone tries to get them to admit to being gay. They'll act dumb and just go on loving themselves and each other in a platonic kinda way.
Remember when Jerry Lawler asked Golddust "aren't you, you know, (Bleep)? and Golddust said no? That kind of worked. Kind of. I always felt kind of bad that denying he was Gay turned him into a good guy. That ain't right. I'm mean, it's one thing to have the gay heel, but you don't have to add insult to injury here.
