Let's talk about Kevin Thorn.
I've only seen him wrestle twice, but I like him a lot. The gimmick isn't new, but it doesn't seem very familiar. That 'stunner' thing he does with the opponent's feet on the ropes is SICK (especially the way Guido sold it). His valet is hot in a creepy way. I can see him being a big time player. What do you think?
P.S. - I didn't watch SmackDOWN! during the time of Mordecai. Is that him? |

I think it's ironic that the game guys who were balking at the Zombie (The announce team) are creaming themselves over how Thorn is all ECW.

I'm a mark. I love the look, the entrance, the music, God help me, I'm even fond of the name.

Yeah I like the character, I'm not sure which I prefer out of this and Mordecai. But seeing as this is his character now, I'll roll with it. I agree that he seems like hes going to be a big time player, he seems to have all the right tools. It's just getting the right gimmick. I think this could very well be it, but then again everybody said that about the Mordecai character.
But until being proven otherwise by the gimmick failing, you can count me in on the Kevin Thorn bandwagon. |

Well, the Zombie was intended as farce and showed no in-ring ability. Thorn actually appears imposing and has a viscious moveset.

I like him. I like his valet more, but then again...Daffney is my favorite "Diva" of all time.
Do you think we eventually could see a "Flock" of sorts consisting of bite victims? |

How'd they describe it? ECW is a place for outcasts or something? That may be kinda true, but it was never a place for the supernatural. To their credit though, at least they say he's into the vampire life style instead of trying to sell him as an ACTUAL vampire.

I didn't really like him as Modecai, but so far I'm really impressed with Kevin Thorn.

I don't mind Kevin Thorn. I prefer him to Mike Knoxx.
But anyway we should be talking about Rene Dupree, and how different he looks now. I couldn't believe that was him. |

Yeah, Ariel is, well, Ariel.
http://www.obsessedwithwrestling.com...s/a/ariel.html At least I'm pretty sure that's her. EDIT: Actually, maybe not. Don't see any mention of WWE at all, not even in the links that page gives. Oh well. Last edited by Corkscrewed; 08-09-2006 at 06:33 PM. |

Kevin Thorn's Entrance Video
http://www.wwe.com/content/media/vid...n%2Fprofile%2F I do think there is a lot they can do with the character, it could be an interesting social comment type of deal, the same way Raven was, although obviously there will obviously not be as much depth. Still, a nice change, and hopefully it isn't going to be just a total cartoon. |

So would this have been Gangrel's gimmick if he weren't so fat?

BTW.
They're not saying he's a Vampire. They're saying he follows Vampirism. Two totally different things. It's that whole underground scene thing. Hell, they could take it farther if they wanted and claim he's mentally disturbed.... As long as they don't have him turn into a bat via bad special effects, I'm fine. |

They could even mock Sports Entertainment in the process. I mean, they used to have a superhero team. A couple, actually, considering Molly, then later Rosey.... |

I'd mark out if Kevin Thorn ran in during The Great Khali and Undertaker's Last Man Standing Match and knocked them both down for the ten count.
Kevin Fertig is a pretty talented big man, and he's great with characters like this. The only reason Mordecai flopped was because of his lame-ass brawl with Hardcore Holly. No disprespect to Holly, but he should have taken a squash loss to Mordecai. |

But yeah, I like this Kevin Thorn (this is alot better than the shitty Mordecai, even though that was booked VERY wrong). I have a liking for vamps myself, so this is worth the price. And yeah, I would bang Ariel (and bite her ALOT if she wanted to) the second I had the opportunity. |
