Not Christopher Daniels and Kazarian. Hell of a gimmick. I'm fully expecting them to steal this and make Adam Rose into it within a month.
Would not surpise me one bit, as NXT has that one tag team that looks suspiciously like they're supposed to be a cleaned up, PG version of The Briscoses.

I actually came across a match of him in TNA, but "his boys" were replaced with girls. Seems like a step WWE would take, which kills the presentation. While more "acceptable", the problems were a) they went from being part of the hedonistic gimmick to simply arm charm props, as he obviously couldn't use them for furniture (like steps for him to get the ring, or to sit on like when he cut his promo on Jay Lethal) and b) why this change was neccessary, but Orlando Jordan could... do the weird shit he was doing for his entrance, such as the caution tape and lotion slathering for no reason.

Dalton reminds me of the one villan from the one story in Heavy Metal. If you've ever seen the movie, you know the guy. Just as cartoony, but in a fun way.
