I've said this many times about Mick.
The main reason he got over with Mr Socko IMO, wasn't because he was using a sock, it was because he was and is and genuinely like-able guy, who's overweight.
Now a lot of fans can identify with him, almost in the same way as I feel fans do with Jeff Hardy right now and Dusty Rhodes back in the day fans see some guys and they are now over the top psychical specimens, so fans seeing this can believe that they 'could' be that guy, that's the connection he created with his later alter ego.
Heck the original turn of Mankind wasn't ever planned, the interviews with JR were meant to delve into the darker side of the character and it ended up getting him more over as a face.
So was the early Mankind awesome? You bet your fucking ass, he was totally out there and you believed he'd do anything to win, plus he had that match at Mind Games which was just fucking amazing.
So in conclusion, anything Mickles does is awesome, k?
