Line 18:
* And TNA is doing expy version of much older WWE characters. Orlando Jordan's playing with gay stereotypes bears a few similarities to Goldust. Mr. Anderson is the same type of loudmouth as [[The Miz]] (who is an expy of Anderson back when he was Kennedy.)
** Orlando Jordan is actually bisexual in real life
* New [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] wrestler [[Alberto Del Rio]]'s status as an expy of former wrestler [[John Bradshaw Layfield]] was [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] by [[Christian]], who has nicknamed Del Rio "Juan Bradshaw Layfield".
** Technically, John and Juan are both expys of [[Ted DiBiase]], in so far as being "Richer than thou" characters who flaunt it in the face of the audience(given that a recession is always around the corner, when it's not in full swing, this always gets heat).
* Jack Swagger is basically a whinier, lamer [[Kurt Angle]] - both are formers amateur wrestlers that use the Ankle Lock as a finishing move, dress in the traditional singlet and are very very proud of their amateur acomplishments.
