I'm gonna say absolutely not, was Buff Bagwell meant to be a porn star? no he was just an arrogant ladies man or atleast he thought he was, i lost interest in him when he became Buff Baggwell, before that when he was a young Marcus Alexander he was awesome, as Buff he was just an annoying prick, and he wasn't the first to have that style of gimmick. Rick Martel had a similar gimmick a decade before Buff Baggwell and what about Big Poppa Pump ya don't think he was exactly the same thing but on a dial that was turned upto 100.

Val Venis was a porn star atleast in story he looked the part and he played it well and connected with the crowd, he had charisma, had the ability until he injured his knees and back and was on the fast track to IC gold, i'd say that if anything trying to WWF was just trying to one up the competition not taking a stab at them except ofcourse mocking the Outsiders which maybe wasn't mocking them as much as they had invested alot of time and money into Diesel and Razor and then they left leaving WWF without those very over characters and mocking Hogan and Macho Man openly.

On the whole WWF was all Sex, chauvinistism, Relationships and extreme violence and adult themes in general, meanwhile WCW was slightly racey for the most part.

Val Venis was just the most obvious, but they also had Mae Young, Sexual Chocolate, The Godfather, The Dicks, Beaver Cleavage, next to The Godfather ofcourse and all his ho's and the list goes on

Vince coined it, while the competition was trying to promote rasslin as real, WWF was taking a more adult approach and trying to imitate life
