The IIconics thread

[mizfan]

WWE booking doesn't vary much no matter how progressive the titles are!

Honestly I do like that the titles exist, regardless of what they do with them because at least you've got the potential for something cool and meaningful if WWE decides to care (like we get occasionally with the men's tag titles). Not a fan of Trish and Lita coming in to win the belts though. I'm ok if they come in and get beat but avoiding putting titles on the elderly should be a big priority for WWE right now as they try to look as fresh as possible.

I'm still holding out hope for a strong Sonya singles push. Obviously I stan her as a fellow LGBT, but she's good.

Also it would be something as the first openly gay wrestler to win a major title in wrestling. Orlando Jordan doesn't count.

[Oliver]

Ah yes, the old 'not gay enough' argument, just like how The Rock is 'not black enough'.

As far as I recall, Jordan wasn't 'out' as bisexual when he was in WWF - similar to how Pat Patterson wasn't publicly 'out' when he was there, although from what I understand it was a open secret backstage and in wrestling circles, so him winning the IC title in '79 could be considered.

What about Darren Young's tag title runs with Titus in 2015? Or are we only talking major singles titles?

As for the IIconics - hey, at least they didn't lose on Raw last night! Granted, they weren't really on the show, but they went a show without one or both of them losing!

[Powder]

Not that Orlando Jordan wasn't gay enough, just would you want his runs being the ones you hold as your "first openly gay champion"? No, me neither.
His TNA work was even worse....

And I meant major singles title. Tag Titles are treated like crap, but either RAW or Smackdown Woman's Champion is major.

So glad to see the WWE putting the Women's tag titles on the IIconics and keeping them off TV. Way to make those titles relevant. With the WWE pushing Mandy/Sonya and Asuka/Sane, why not put the titles on one of those two to feud over the belts rather than having them being completely wasted on the terrible IIconics?

[Oliver]

Because the IIconics are better than them both, loser.

[T.O.]

Obviously. They rule.

Powder is just jealous cause he’s not Iconic

[T.O.]

Nor IIconic.

[Powder]

The only thing I'm jealous about is that Sonya Deville is gay, and I envy all of her girlfriends, because it can never be me.

[meandi]

It could be if you went the route of TO

[T.O.]

Don't be a hater, Powder.

[Powder]

Not a hater, just jealous...but

menadi....you do have a point....

Can I just say that I identify as female for the hook up purposes?

[T.O.]

Don't be a hater, I said. That is straight up haterism right there.

[Powder]

TO...you should know that there is no haterism in me. We did have some conversations....

But I am sorry if I offended you. Seriously.
