WTF gives with this Simon Dean guy on RAW?
 

I have been told by a reliable source that he was a pro wrestler for ECW, but I never watched wrestling up until about 5 years ago...anybody know what name he used in the ring?

Nova, you ass.

LOL

All I'm saying is that if I know who an indy work is (Nova being the king of insane indy workers pulling off impossible move after impossible move) then anyone should know who he is.

LOL you've watched wrestling for five years and didn't know who Nova was? I take it you never watched ECW then? You're missin' out on some great stuff dude. I look forward to seeing Simon Dean wrestle on Raw.

Why, he is going to be reduced down to punch, kick, drop kick, flying cross body, suplex, and lame ass fiinsher.

I sure damn hope not, but I can't help but share your cynicism.

What, you the Cynick now?

i've only seen a tiny bit of nova, but he looks good.

t'is a bit puzzling why he's on raw tho...considering, i'm assuming, he's a lightweight

He is just outside the cruiserweight wieght range. Kinda like how RVD is.

He's somewhere in the 215-230 range, I think. He could pull off the Christian/Matt Hardy "heavy" cruiser thing, but BDC is right about him being closer to RVD's size.

The deceptive thing is that he used a lot of cruiser-style moves, and he often wrestled legit cruisers like Super Crazy or Tajiri.

Just a thought, how cool would it be if WWE decided to just stop giving a shit and let Simonnova and Hurricane use Vertebreakers?

Of course, it'll never happen.

It would never happen, but I would cum in my pants.
