The first few months of weekly PPVs featured a midget match on nearly every show.This aspect of the gimmick was soon dropped. They cut a promo before a match during PPV #6 that consisted of three brief lines ( "We're pricks, we're proud and we're protruding!") and grabbed their "dicks" afterwards. The Hot Shots - future Raven follower Cassidy Riley and future "Natural" Chase Stevens in their first TNA appearances - wrestled with giant bulges in their pants (i.e.Much like Cheex above, they would be shown the door after two PPVs, though Mortimer eventually resurfaced. Though Mortimer gave them something of a backstory in his introduction for them (they had formerly bullied him and were now his personal servants), this was ignored so that Ed Ferrara could crack penis jokes on commentary. Dick and Rod, the Johnsons, were literally a pair of wrestling dicks managed by Mortimer Plumtree.TNA had not one, but two terrible penis-related gimmicks:.For some reason, they were managed by Joel Gertner, who did not stick around very long. Ironically enough, the Dupps themselves would refuse to wrestle the Express at PPV #2, citing the Express' "alternative lifestyle" as the reason why. Oh, and the Rainbow Express debuted after the cousin-fucking Dupps, which the commentators didn't seem to care about all that much. Color commentator Don West made awkward homophobic remarks about the team while heel commentator Ed Ferrara sounded educated and tolerant in comparison. A tag team called The Rainbow Express used a gay gimmick as heels (TNA targeted the South as its primary audience).The Dupps, a hillbilly tag team originally from ECW, helped TNA break new ground when the company introduced an incest aspect to their gimmick: a valet billed as both their cousin and girlfriend, Fluff Dupp, accompanied the team to the ring.Cheex actually made it onto the second PPV broadcast, where he almost literally squashed a jobber in a horrendously bad match. Cheex's immense weight ended up damaging the ring, and the ring crew had to act fast to repair the damages before the PPV went live (they did, obviously). Moments before the very first TNA broadcast, the company held a dark match featuring a morbidly-obese black wrestler named Cheex and his valet "The Brown-Eyed Girl".16.1 Anthem Era: Farewell, Dixie!
