Gotta call bull on that one.

They pushed him on ECW. They gave him a "I'm gonna go the full year undefeated" gimmick, then jobbed him after a few weeks. They then gave him no build into a MitB that he won out of the blue and then they gave him the belt less than a week later.

At no point have they tried to BUILD the guy up.

Did he need to win the belt 5 days after Mania? Couldn't they have built him up after he won the briefcase?

Seems to me they pushed him cos they had to (as his name was picked "out of a hat" to win MitB) and did it too soon.

Booking totally screwed him.

He's good in the ring and on the mic IMO.
