Mordecai
Does anyone else remember this character?
I really expected him to get a big feud with 'Taker, but the gimmick only lasted a couple months before he was sent back to ovw...only to be called up again as Kevin Thorn. Last time I remember seeing the Mordecai character, he was doing a rant on Eddie Guerrero. |

I would've loved to see that feud happen between Undertaker and Mordecai. I remember his last televised match was against Rey Mysterio.

I remember loving the gimmick and the music.
I wonder if after Taker and Kane are gone, if we'll ever get another "supernatural" like character again, or if "modern" fans just won't accept it. |

yea, loved the gimmick, but I believe his first few matches were against cruisers and that killed him because he was just a little bit bigger then them. Nobody took him seriously after that. He never looked like he could be any kind of threat to Taker.
What I would of done was put him with a bigger guy and then go after Taker. But the gimmick and character was really good. Just had the wrong guy for the role. |

Honestly, I had to youtube this guy in order to remember him, didn't even recognize the tron. A truly epic gimmick when put in contrast to Undertaker or Kane, if given the chance to expand I think he could been a top midcard contender.

I suppose it'd be something like a Celtic saint persona, with his 'fiery red hand'.

I hated this gimmick. He would have feuded with Taker, lost, then had nowhere to go and been subsequently jobbed out before being repackaged. They saved us a lot of time by just skipping to the repackage.

Name rings a bell but don't remember him at all other than that.

I was really excited for this character when promos started debuting. Like everyone, I initially thought it was Matt Capotelli's call-up to the roster but when I found out it wasn't, I lost interest.
Debuting and defeated a couple of cruisers didn't do him any favours, but they were teasing a feud against Eddie Guerrero (Mordecai took exception to his lying, cheating and stealing) before it was canned. Things would have definitely worked out differently had he had that program; Eddie would've made him look like a million bucks in the ring, in any promos or verbal exchanges. Real shame I guess, although it did give us a few good weeks of Kevin Thorn and Ariel. Now there's a character I'm pissed off they dropped! |

I always felt that they should've had Mordecai pull the lever at the Great American Bash in 2004, burying Paul Bearer in the cement to end the show and starting a feud with The Undertaker, which would've led to a match at SummerSlam.

This gimmick is exactly how I imagined 'Silas' when I read the Da Vinci code.
