Former WWE announcer Ricardo Rodriguez feels the Maximum Male Models gimmick is annoying but could catch on with the fans.
Max Dupri debuted on SmackDown back in May and was the visionary behind Maximum Male Models. In the following weeks, he added WWE stars ma.cé and mån.sôör as his fashion models and set about his goal - "To titillate the juices of their guilty pleasures."
In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling, Ricardo Rodriguez mentioned that he had been following the SmackDown star's career since his time at NXT. The former announcer stated that he hadn't seen much of The Maximum Male Models on TV, but felt that the name Max Dupri was irritating and it would help in getting the gimmick over with fans.
"I've known him for many years. We were never close, but I've known him for many years. I think when he first got signed, he was ending the first NXT. Then he got let go, he did a bunch of other stuff. Then he came back as LA Knight, and the Max Dupri. I haven't been watching SmackDown a lot because I've been very busy as of late but I was listening to Konnan's Keepin' it 100, I don't know who it was, but they were like 'Max Dupri' and it's annoying as hell."
