Ups...
7. Just A Little Cosmic Fun
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyr3cy7uoHk Sometimes, the truly weird and silly can work. Stardust has been seen in the past delivering rambling promos from a light-filled room, but this time, his rantings were interrupted by Titus ONeil, who declared that he mustve took a wrong turn. Titus then proceeded to compliment Stardust on his lair, pointing out constellations before identifying Titania, a Florida gator (ONeils alma mater). He then delivered a gator bark before disappearing. Was it campy and silly? Absolutely. Did you laugh? Quite possibly. Stardusts outlandish character could actually work as a midcard heel act (if hes stop losing so damn often), and it allows other wrestlers to play off Codys Frank Gorshin-like villain. In this case, Titus was just as silly, but it was short, inoffensive and a bit amusing. As a one-off, this worked fine. If it happens week after week, then weve got problems. Lets just hope WWE doesnt decide to beat this joke into the ground.
