I like Heidenreich. I am really interested in his character. His match at Survivor Series actually gets a "B+" from me, because I found myself enjoying the story, the characters and the workrate. If they can have Heidenreich use psychology in every match, and keep his character up, I think Heidenreich could REALLY improve. I'm looking forward to seeing him feud with either Charlie Haas or Tazz next. Both of which I wouldn't be surprised to see drag a good match out of Heidenreich (as long as they practice with him like Undertaker did).
I frankly think the match would have been even better if Paul Heyman was on commentary with Tazz & Michael Cole, and this could lead to a little bit of promotion for the ECW DVD, and maybe allow Tazz to get pissed off and put Heyman in the Tazzmission (allowing Heidenreich to get distracted, which is when Taker recovers and hits the Chokeslam and the Tombstone) or for Tazz to actually attack Heidenreich, giving him a DQ win, which I believe the fans would be split on, because Tazz would be choking out Heidenreich, but again it's a DQ finish, and it goes to Heidenreich. That's th ekind of noise I associate with ECW. Not the mindless cheering, but the reaction from the crowd when some are happy to see the violence, others are shocked, and others just like making their voices heard by booing or hissing for more.
