Watching Terry Funk's post match promo after the triple threat between him, Shane Douglas and Sabu on WWE Network and it got me thinking.
How would a comedy crying gimmick go over in 2014? I can't remember it ever being done. I'm talking just a guy who is seemingly normal most of the time who just gets overly emotional at times and cries his eyes out. I can picture a new wrestler coming into Triple H's office and asking for an opportunity and when Triple H is mean to him he slowly starts sobbing while Triple H's scowl goes away slowly and he just looks awkwardly and just asks "Are... are you crying?"
Maybe he gets his first win, gets on the mic and starts crying tears of joy while thanking the crowd. He gets a random win over Curt Hawkins on Superstars and sits in the middle of the ring looking around at the crowd with tears streaming down his face saying "thank you" to the crowd.
I think it would get over as a comedy character in a Eugene, so lame you can't help but love him sort of way.
