She puts me off liking Booker T as a wrestler, i was ahuge Booker Mark in WCW, but at the moment i wish she'd exit WWE and leave Booker alone. It's enough Smackdown has a decent wrestler, wrestling in a dress week in week out...  |

I like the Vito gimmick too. I think it's a very positive LGBT character: the first time that WWE have ever managed that.

Yeah but Vito??? Surely they could of used baby faced Rene Dupree or that other french dude. Or even someone like Scotty 2 Hotty there not doing out with him  But still they've ruined Vito it's great there adding stuff about the LGBT into it, bu surely giving the role to Vito is a bit of a stupid decision he'sone of the better wrestlers they've brought in recently.... Unless he is actually a crossdresser or whatever you want to call them |

Also would like to point out at WWE's new smackdown wrestler, MVP, his gimmick or what they called him.
'The most talented free agent in wrestling'
Now is it me or ddoes that ever so slightly resemble TNA's Bobby Rhoode
'Hottest free agent in wrestling'
Or is it just me imaging that WWE are copying yet another idea off TNA, first it was Umaga copy of Samoa Joe, then Cryme Time aka LAX, and now this guy a copy of Rhoode.

The fact they used a legitimate tough guy like Vito adds to the postive image IMO. I don't think they've ruined him at all.
Transgendered is the current PC term FYI...

Seeing that he only really cross-dresses (Badly) and would make for a terrible woman, the term would be more "genderqueer" or "transvestite" along with any others that are associated with cross-dressing, M-Sync.
Leon: YEAH!!
It does look like a more serious version (if that's possible) to what they put Perry Saturn through though lol

See, I haven't watched WWE programming seriously in a few years. The big question that arises for me is whether Vito dresses in dresses because it's his chosen gender identity (or even his character's gender identity) or whether he just does it to be weird (a la Headbangers circa late 90s). The former could be considered a positive step towards acknowledging different lifestyles. The latter is just a joke.

ECW Tapings for 10/10/06
Credit: Kenton Lane and PWInsider.com
Dark Match:
Kendrick/London vs. The Gymini - The Gymini aren't the best wrestlers, but the crowd was hot for this match since it was the first of the evening. Kendrick & London won.
ECW Oct. 10, 2006:
No backstage segments were shown. If Diva Strip Poker happened, it was backstage, and it wasn't shown to the live crowd.
1 - CM Punk vs. Rene Dupree - A good match. The crowd was really into Punk and Dupree in their various roles. Punk won clean.
2 - Kevin Thorne w/ Ariel vs. Tommy Dreamer - Tommy Dreamer had a lot of fans in the ICT tonight. Lots of Tommy chants. Francine escorted him to ringside but then disappeared, so no catfights tonight. Dreamer won clean.
3 - Sabu, RVD & The Sandman vs. The Big Show, Test & Matt Striker - A great 6-man tag. All the spots you'd expect. RVD was the most over of the six. RVD, Sabu & Sandman won clean. Sandman walked right beside me on his way to the ring, so I might make it on tv.If you see a hot and stylin tan guy in a blue shirt holding a beer up as he goes by, then it's me!
That was it for ECW. No Extreme Rules matches, No Diva Strip Poker. The crowd didn't mind though, numerous ECW chants during the show.

CMK Punk is one of the best things to happen to WWE. Definitely the future. I don't think I've found anyone that dislikes him.

Well he's really shown his ability in ECW, unlike TNA but that was due to poor writing and booking. But sounds a good show might give it a watch.
