Mark Jindrak

[Corkscrewed]

I had a mini mark out when he drop kicked Spike off the top rope. Now THAT is hops, and I'd never seen something like that before. That was pretty impressive.

I never saw him in WCW, but he looks like a great athlete, and hopefully, he'll be pushed far. Looks like a big guy who CAN wrestle, and he's got a nice finishing move.

Speaking of which, anyone know what the name of that thing is, if it has one? If not, any suggestions?


So basically, discuss Jindrak here.

[John la Rock]

he's never impressed me. I'll give him time cause he's young. Right now he's just another jobber

[Mr. Nerfect]

I don't know why but I had these two weird ideas pop into my mind for the name of his move. "The Jindrak Dak" or "The Jindrak Smak" or the "TAB", which stands for Thuggin' & Buggin'. :S

BTW, Jindrak rules.

[Goldbird]

^^^

Yup, agreed.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

It's almost like Ruby Frosion ( SP?), except he's doing it into more of a uranage then a chokeslam, so I have no clue what to call it.

[The CyNick]

Yeah that was an awesome leap.

As for a name for his finish, I'm not good at that.

I think JR called it the ankle lock.

How about the...Natural Born Thriller?

[KingofOldSchool]

How about The "My Career's Gonna End Up Just Like Lex Luger's" Slam.

[Funky Fly]

Much like O'Haire, Jindrack is also pretty good on the top rope. I remember one time in WCW he did a springboard crossbody almost all the way across the ring on Goldberg.

How about the...Natural Born Thriller?

I like that! *reps loopy*

[Mr. Nerfect]

I would rather see "The Natural Born Thriller" be his alias. I can just image Teddy, "He comes the Thrilla Playa!".

[MVP]

Jindrak reminds me of when Lex Luger was first debuted in WWF as "The Narcissist."

I marked out to see the return of that gimmick, and I think Jindrak can go places with that, especially with Teddy Long managing him.

Yeah that nickname would fit. You what is really funny (or sad) is that I would place a lot of money on the fact that nobody in creative knows about the NBT gimmick.

One thing they should avoid with Jindrak is to make him a "high flying big man". You have a long-term champion on Smackdown who is quite small. Therefore it makes sense to play up his size and power over his speed and agility. However I think they should let him do the dropkick to the top rope because that is really impressive. But aside from that he should stick to a slower power based game. The good thing is that when he get sin the ring with a guy like Eddie he wont look out of place because he is a good athlete and could keep up (well sorta).

I wouldn't take that bet against you, you'd probably wipe me clean. :(

I think they should just bill Jindrak as "the perfect athlete". Sort of like a tribute to the Narcissist and the Mr. Perfect gimmicks (Rest in Peace, Curt). Have him cocky and heelish on the outside, but have him act like he's not even trying in his matches.

[Corkscrewed]

I actually like the "perfect athlete" thing. If he could go to the top rope sometimes, that'd be pretty cool. Not all the time, but enough to show he can. The perfect wrestler: he can do anything. :)

[PureHatred]

Love Jindrak. In EWR (if anyone knows that game) I always give him a huge push. If they go with the NBT gimmick, I'd call that move "The Natural Selection."

As for his athleticism, if anyone got a chance to see an episode of Confidential where Cade & Jindrak were in a celebrity basketball game: for a guy built like he is, Jindrak could jump out of the gym... 360's, one handed windmills..just a great athlete. (and I laughed because he kept cursing at R. Kelly for throwing up bricks. good times)

So yeah...go Jindrak
