Cartoon characters are back
A new tag team debuted on Smackdown! this evening: Deuce and Bigelow. Two guys who came out in a red convertible, dressed like 1950s era leather jacket punks. They added some mild Andrew Dice Clay mannerisms, and brought out a valet named Cheri - a buxom blonde with her hair in a ponytail, with roller skates on her shoes, and acting like one of the old skating waitresses of the era.
The audience were booing them long before they got to the ring, before we knew if they were supposed to be faces or heels. Why the booed was I suspect because the characters were lame caricatures.
Years ago, before the Attitude Era, Vince McMahon came on TV to say he wouldn't insult the audience's intelligence with cartoon characters. Someone should remind him about that, because they are still an insult. Two wrestlers who seemed talented in the ring have now been ruined.
