From my understanding, I think that statement is completely off base. From whatI've heard, Kevin Fertig's gimmick "Seven" was Undertaker class stuff. The idea of the Mordecai gimmick is to have him anti-sin of any kind. I don't think this is quite the same as the 7 Deadly Sins gimmick. Some ways I think the Mordecai gimmick could work better.

1. Have him wrestle monster matches. The guy looks to human in the ring. Each punch hurts this guy, and a dropkick knocks him off his feet. He got into a Stone Cold-esque brawl for crying out loud. The closest he should come to a brawl is in a match with The Undertaker.

2. Have him beat guys with any move. Let him keep the Razor's Edge, but let him win matches with big boots out of nowhere, and backbreakers, etc. Get submission wins the abdominal stretches, that sort of thing.

3. Have him not bleed. Again too human. I can remember the last time Kane bled. The Undertaker didn't bleed during the establishment of his gimmick. This guy should take a crossbody from the top and not go down. Bleeding will make him look human, which makes him look like a loon, which is not his gimmick (from my viewpoint).

4. Maybe give him a manager. I think having Paul Bearer return with Mordecai. Bearer returns with Mordecai as Paully B has realised that messing around with the darkness that he did has filled his heart with sin, and he will not be able to rest until The Undertaker has been vanquished.

5. Have Mordecai undefeated. I know it's a bit late now. But maybe they can have Mordecai pull an anlge where he feels the powers enthrusted onto him leaving him, so he goe son a search for the power he once had.

6. Two-in-one. Just a little idea I had for gimmick advancement. Mordecai could "cleanse everyone" except a guy named "Seven" who continues to sin on SmackDown!. Of course we would recognize them as one in the same. Maybe Syyn could get called up from OVW to manage "Seven", while Paul Bearer manages "Mordecai"? Eventaully we could see a half-decorated as Seven, half-decorated as Mordecai Kevin Fertig. I think that'd look pretty interesting on WWE TV.

7. Have him as the underdog in his feud with Taker. Mordecai is a bit smaller than Undertaker, so they should maybe have Mordecai teaste worrying. But then Mordecai remembers it's a sin, so he fills himself with the confidence that he can beat the Dead Man. I'd love to see Mordecai get up from a Tombstone straight away with this "confidence".
