Jeez! Why the hell are they pushing this green waste of space over all of the athletic guys? It's clearly just cos Steph loves his look... but he's freakin' USELESS in the ring, and so gener...
... wait... I had in my calendar that he'd be getting a massive push over everyone by now... it actually said on the calendar "Hate on Dan Rodimer, 6th May 2008"... and he's been released.
Maybe they DON'T just push people down our throats cos they're oversized.

Yep, even WWE has limits on how much they're willing to overlook wrestling ability-wise based on size/look.
Like, Kozlov is/was hovering around that limit, Rodimer was well over the limit... And I'd imagine some of these football players and other non-wrestlers they hire and fire in a span of a few weeks are off the charts.
Not sure where Khali fits in, probably a different set of limits for "giants" than "genetic freaks".

I remember well the OMGZZZ~! Steph loves Rodimer, Triple H is jealous, he is going to be put with Rated RKO as a bodyguard!!! newz that was breaking a lot.
Then I saw some DSW tapes, and he couldn`t do simple things without nearly killing people, Bill DeMott was kicking his ass reguarly, and his promos stunk (although he thought they were fantastic), and I thought, "not even Stephanie is that dumb".

I read he was taking too long to improve and had his finger in real-estate pies so they both decided to give up.

Khali is exempt... frankly, Andre had no right to be working for the 'E in the 'Mania era, he was totally immobile and couldn't promo at all... but he was well booked and, well... monsterously immense. So he gets a pass. So does Khali. |

Simply get him over with the whole world by changing his name to Rodimer Prime, and have him come to the ring with a box on his head

I had on my calendar to praise Kenny Dykstra on May 6 2008, who was going to be a main eventer by now. During his Spirit Squad days it was pretty much a given that he'd he headlining Raw by now.
I wrote that note to myself during the Spirit Squad days too, so I have no idea how I knew to write Dykstra as his last name. A good guess perhaps? I must be psychic. Which is why I am now writing on my calendar for May 6 2009 to buy tickets for "Gene Snitsky Presents: Fetuspalooza 09"

I'll say this, and leave it where it's laying: Dan Rodimer or Rodman or whatever the called him was, quite possibly the worst natural professional wrestler I've ever seen. And this is coming from someone with experience stomaching the Giant Gonzalez's matches.

I don't know if anyone who goes to OVW shows can confirm this, but I remember reading last year that it took Rodimer something like 5 tries to finally time his jump right, when he was trying to take a chokeslam at the finish of a match vs. Jacob Duncan at an OVW Six Flags show. Did anyone see that match, so they can confirm or deny it?

When/Where is Festuspalooza? Cause I'm going as long as it doesn't clash with Download.
