The Con Man

**Afterlife** · 08-02-2005, 12:11 PM

Sure, Matt made his big return last night, and Cena beat buku odds in his title match. But, right or wrong, the squash match made my night.

Everybody knew Venis was going to lose when he came out. But when I saw his opponent, my first thot was "Is that a stripper?" My second thot being "Why are they pushing Conway...in mesh?" Then I saw his promo.

This "Con Man" business is great. I mean, I always felt Conway was creepier than Christian, and even that smile at the end of his promo was almost scary. But the phrases and the look -- even his music is kickass. His finisher is renamed, but even it has a catchphrase now "You might go down to Ego Road, but you don't come back from the Ego Trip."

I dunno; maybe I'm nuts. But this is lookin' like great potential for a great character, heel OR face. This here is the first gimmick polarity shift that shows promise in a loooong time, and I, for one, will be cheering for it.
