Maybe Festus from Jesse and Festus?

That was the first name that popped into my head, but it was the ring bell that set Festus off wasn't it?

here's hoping ryback gets a decent push, smackdown is awful bar about half a dozen of the wrestlers on it.

as for raw, surely the tensai character hasn't got much petrol on it.
obvious he's getting a decent push after the way he's had two squash matches and a win over cena. his gimmick isnt relevant to these times, it wouldve fitted great in the 80s and 90s when OTT gimmicks were all the rage, but a lot of wrestlers now seem to have gimmicks that relate more to their personality or image or something the viewers can relate to, not something completely fabricated, and those with gimmicks have had them for a good few years and are established. another thing that will make it hard is a lot of fans will always know tensai as albert or a-train.

Zack Ryder - yet another WWE case of what might have been (all their fault mind).

Really stubborn and stupid by WWE.

The guy built himself up to a position where management had no choice but to run with it, but then destroyed him almost as soon as he got the title, made him look like a mug over Eve, take him off tv then use him as a jobber on his return.

Smart work Vince.

would rather see him get a decent position rather than santino, who i can never get interested in watching.


not a big fan of daniel bryan either. his catchphrase is crap, his music is crap, his t-shirts are crap, his finisher is crap, his beard is crap...

Got to disagree there. Daniel Bryan is an excelled wrestler. His mic work is good and he is playing his character to perfection.

As for the "yes" chants, I found them funny at Wrestlemania but they are now starting to be as annoying as the "what" chants.
