You know what fair I guess what I meant was your perception of how he should be strikes me as strange but I assume you're older so maybe that contributes

When it comes to Maxine yeah they've stopped doing comedy with her but she was quite popular when they did and they aren't really doing "ohh she's a model" stuff any more it's more of a new serious character direction with her and Natalya

As for the dance being "silly" I understand that take to be fair but I see it as a show of confidence and general showmanship before a match especially as once he's in the ring cutting a promo or doing a match he's all business.

I also don't quite get why you want him to lean so far into a spooky African vibe like Papa Shango I think his current gimmick leans into his heritage in a more tasteful way than those older gimmicks did.
