All these guys "made it" but these vignettes are still pretty hilarious

Those Sean O'Haire promos are incredible. The gimmick itself is incredible.

Mordecai was that Matt guy who won tough enough...he got a brain tumor and nearly died...he cant wrestle anymore thats why Mordecai's character didnt last
What Would Kevin Do?

No, Mordecai was Kevin Thorn, not Matt Cappotelli.

It was honestly a shame that Waylon Mercy was too broken down to make this gimmick work. It was just creepy enough to be effective. Something wasn't right about him, and he would snap at a moment's notice. Ziggler is the closest we've gotten, but he's too campy for his own good.
