Wasn't there a guy before Rico, named Adrian Adonis who was also a gay stylist?

It didn't work long with Rico. It didn't work long with Sylvan Grenier. Why on earth do they think it'll with with Kalisto? **facepalm**

Well here's some good news: - It was reported last night via Reddit’s MetsFan4Ever that WWE NXT officials recently tested out Kalisto with a gay hair stylist gimmick and that it may be his new character going forward. A WWE source reached out today and said that the report is not true and there will be no character change with Kalisto. Kalisto was trending worldwide on Twitter around midnight after the report came out and fan reaction was not positive. www.gerweck.net/2015/02/04/update-on-reports-of-a-wwe-nxt-superstar-possibly-getting-a-gay-hair-stylist-gimmick/

It didn't sound true. If they wanna try the character out there are many more (Aiden English?) that could try it as opposed to Kalisto.

I'm happy the reports are saying he isn't going to be stuck with this...

Kalisto as a gay hair stylist? Adrian Neville as Mighty Mouse?
If you ask me, this is just internet propaganda, designed to turn the IWC against WWE even more so by instigating ridiculous repackaging rumors that make fans doubt how WWE will manage the excellent NXT Talent.
Don't buy it until it happens.
It's funny because if it was to happen, the only people who would halt the gimmicks long term success are the same people who are already dreading it happening. Us.

I didn't think it was true either. One of the points of having NXT around is so that the talents there can develop their characters, so why would they spend time doing that only to go in a totally different direction once they were called up?

I liked Grenier and this pretty much killed his career. I like Kalisto and this will pretty much kill his career.

Thank god it's not true. That would have killed his career.

Vince is a lunatic. I bet he's a closet racist. If Triple H didn't take Sheamus under his wing, much like he's doing to Rollins, I bet Shesmus would have had a drunk Irishman gimmick slapped on him

Yeah, just like Adam Rose and the Bunny were internet propaganda. The WWE doesn't care what you, I or any other fans want, this is Vince's personal playground. The proof is in the pudding. The "excellent" NXT talent, will be mostly jobbers when they get up to the main roster. Halting it's success? A gay hair stylist ceiling in WWE, is Simon Dean. You act like it would be some great gimmick and not Vince playing homophobe on live TV every week. Every segment would be him trying to touch other men, and make gay people look TERRIBLE. Vince is a lunatic. I bet he's a closet racist. If Triple H didn't take Sheamus under his wing, much like he's doing to Rollins, I bet Shesmus would have had a drunk Irishman gimmick slapped on him Pardon me? Closet racist? I think you mean blatant. And Sheamus is Irish, Vince is Irish at least in part, he's not going against his own kind. Just African American, and UK.

Leo Kruger wouldn't have made it past Superstars. It pisses me off how negative 'informed' fans can be. NXT is the holy grail for developing talent. It's been practically flawless since it was launched, no company could ever dream of better developmental. It's rich in world reknown talent, who are being showcased in the right way.... And yet, you still get these pessimistic idiots who prefer to think Vince will "ruin" them. Seriously the IWC. WWE give them gold with NXT, and instead of enjoying it for what it is, they'd rather conspire to question its relevance with ridiculous (confirmed as) fake rumours like this. Adam Rose is hopeless, in black trunks or diamond glitter, he was never going to make it! When Finn Balor and Sami Zayn are repackaged as the second coming of The Bushwackers, I'll consider their careers at risk. But you can clearly see by watching the network and seeing the feedback, the NXT talent are in very good hands right now, regardless of how much the IWC want to deny it.

And what exactly has Adam Rose done? Exactly, Leo Kreuger would be in the same spot. NXT is a breeding ground for future jobbers, Breeze, Enzo, Cass, hell, probably even Steen. It's pointless to get excited about because of how they ruin everyone. Look at Big E, he was NXT champ, as well as Bo, both jobbers at this point. The only successful NXT champ so far, has been Seth, and that's not because of him it's because of the Shield. I'm not conspiring anything, the proof is there. You can choose not to see it, by 2016, I'll still be able to count NXT successes on 1 hand. Guaranteed. The fact you call me a "pessimistic idiot" and yet you're the one believing everything is fine and dandy is so ironic, because I could say the same thing to you about being an optimist.

The fact you call me a "pessimistic idiot" and yet you're the one believing everything is fine and dandy is so ironic, because I could say the same thing to you about being an optimist. NXT was far less endorsed back when Big E and Bo Dallas were regularly on the show. It's not WWE's fault that they've struggled to make an impression, they were given pushes and faith was installed in them, they weren't altered or repackaged like you claim damages these up and comers.. Do you really believe Finn Balor, Sami Zayn or Kevin Owens would fall into the same bracket? With the support they'd get from the live audiences? If so you can't be watching much of NXT. Adam Rose hasn't ever done anything worthy, that was my point. No real loss. What's wrong with being an optimist?! I'd rather choose to enjoy the product that I watch for what it is, instead of torture myself with it like pessimists like you! You aren't cultured informed or unique, you're just one of many who are far too concerned with conspiring on how everything may go downhill tommorow to enjoy what's happening today. And hey, everything I've just said is strictly opinion. I'm not gunna make any 'guaruntees'. Because I don't need to make naive predictions to reassure myself of my standing In some form of unspoken prediction chart, but I will remember this debate if WWE choose to successfully debut 5-6 NXT talents at once similar to the Nexus. In which case your 'one hand' will likely require extra fingers overnight. If you believe that strongly that WWE and NXT are going to flop within 12 months, why the hell would you continue to watch it?! Just to complain, or claim to have seen it coming? That's the purest definition of a pessimistic idiot.
