Stardust is shit outside of the theme, but you don't talk shit about the Vaudevillains

What exactly is good about the Vaudevillians? Both guys seems so stiff in their roles. They have the whole black and white filter thing but it's still in HD. They don't even wrestle old style, don't one of them do a swanton?
Is this really such a controversial opinion to have? Stardust had potential, but they turned the character into a nonsensical goofball with no direction, purpose or theme. At least the Vaudvillains can play off of each other. The Rhodes brothers' out-of-ring work so far has been the equivalent of pouring sugar on Frosted Flakes.

That's really part of my issue with it. Don't do a strongman gimmick and do moves that don't work with that gimmick. Also, they're painted as low-card due to their name and inability to flip.
Vaudevillains are the absolute worst thing in modern wrestling. There's nothing worse than them, not even modern TNA. Modern TNA looks like gold compared to them. They're the Young Bucks without any of the commitment. They're as shitty as they come. They're the fucking embodiment of jackass wrestling fans elbowing each other and going, 'dahur, you get it? i get it! i totally get it!' Imagine a bunch of fucking fans coming out with Damien Demento shirts on because they're 'in on the joke.' and wink every time he fucking walks by.
The gimmick is so shallow and so idiotic that I can only figure Dusty thought of it while he was drunk as a gimmick for jobbers that wouldn't last beyond a week, but because it's NXT and they'll pop for anything 'unknown' so they can pretend they got in on the ground floor before it was cool, it got enough of a reaction to keep existing.
So clever this gimmick.

Dragonzord hates the Vaudvillains, which only confirms that they are great
Neither of us were disagreeing with the Stardust opinion, but the general idea that the Vaudvillains are the worst gimmick going right now.
In a world where Adam Rose exists how can the Vaudvillains be considered worse?

Alot of NXT gimmicks seem to just be "here's a gimmick. Please like it because it is a gimmick"
Because Adam Rose commits to his fucking shit tier gimmick beyond 'oh look I have a mustache and a singlet'

Someone just pointed out to me how Eva reacted to the IMPENDING DOOM FOR HULK HOGAN AND CO. ARRIVAL OF BROCK LESNAR...
And well, here it is:
Why is that bottle ginger clapping and smiling at Brock's entrance?
Adam Rose is fucking terrible and acts like he phones in literally everything he does. On top of that he's also a dogshit wrestler. Brodus Clay was more into his gimmick than Rose is into his Neo-Brodus gimmick.
Hopefully insulting Kiran means he gets blackballed. Not that I want Reigns held down, I just don't want anyone insulting Kidman.
prior to Lesnar coming out every other birthday guest was greeted with smiles and clapping. Eva simply did not realize Brock Lesnar was not a guest to the party.

Nothing of note except Heyman's promos. Summerslam this Sunday
Oh. What's good about the Vaudevillains? Aiden English fucking sucks. It'd be okay if it was just Simon Gotch. Together they are insufferable. Aiden English needs replaced with Matt Classic and I'd be down. As it is, I hate them. They're too stupid for their environment and will absolutely DIE on Raw. Hardcore. You think a crowd made of 70% little kids are going to get or enjoy anything about shit heads in black and white video who talk in word cards and say HUZZAH a lot? Get that shit out of here.

Ryback's twitter rants are hilarious though because he just sounds off his rocket.
Roman just sounds like a spoiled manchild like A-Ry.

I've seen the Vaudevillians gimmick done better by at least five other wrestlers. Also, if you're going to go comedy gimmicks, at least put a bit of fucking effort into it - the freaking Ice Creams in CHIKARA are a more well-thought out and better acted gimmick. Ice Creams.
In other news, I'm watching more old CZW...ZANDIG POWAHHH;

At its core, Adam Rose is a better idea for a character than the Vaudvillains. He also has the better entrance. And I'm still waiting for Rose to be revealed as the split personality when he finally picks up a machete to make lemonade.
Like I'm still waiting for BigE's five count gimmick.
They seem relatively into their gimmick, they're decent wrestlers (more so than, say, Adam Rose, the real worst thing in wrestling), and it's at least a somewhat remotely fresh gimmick at least compared to everything else you see in WWE tag teams. Who's also to say they'll keep their gimmick when they go up to Raw? Is every NXT gimmick designed to work on the main show?
Hey guys, remember when wrestling was supposed to be fun?

I'd be more down with the Vaudvillains if they went further with the gimmick, but they're mostly just an entrance
Damn, Roman hasn't even peaked yet

That would of been a great way to end RAW.
What sucks was I got em right around the time they were not cool anymore.
well at least I wasn't blind.
Thanks mom
It sucks that Hulk still isn't cleared for anything physical. You know he'll never be touched during every appearance. :\

Same Shawn Michaels who stormed out and threw a fit because Stone Cold won his title.

Just saw Kevin Nash tweet this. Thought it might have been an accident because of the "via @wwe" and sure enough he deleted it straight after.
I guess Big Sexy was checking out Alicia Fox's profile on WWE.com and accidentally tweeted it.

On Ion TV right now, there's a cold case episode about Pro Wrestling. Roddy Piper is in it. It's great so far.
