So let's just use him more.
Paul Burchill is a damn good talent, but I'd like to see him do more than enhancement. He's still quite young, and not exactly going to retire tomorrow. I'd like to see him and Katie Lea get more chances in the future.

I'd think that Charlie Haas is probably the closest thing to a Val Venis equivalent right now. The biggest difference between the two is that Venis was a face, while Haas is a heel.

Now I'd say bring back Sean Morley as Sean Morley, with the Val Venis music. Give him more of a player gimmick, and don't mention the fact he was a porn star. Morley is a fantastic preformer, but this tvpg era has no room for a porn star.
I do agree with this. In the PG-era, though, the gimmick could either work for or against Venis. If they kept the gimmick up, Venis could actually be somewhat of a different act, standing out from all the clean-cut guys. The character was originally meant to be a heel, but was turned face because the Attitude era was picking up steam, and the adult male fans loved a guy who fucked a lot of women.

Venis treating the Divas like objects could be a nice way to get him over as a heel. But you could also distance him from the gimmick, and get him over based on him being a "respected veteran." Hey, if Hardcore Holly can do it, then Venis definitely could.
