When I saw this skinny guy, I thought that WWE would book him just like Mikey Whipwreck was booked in the original ECW. But then came the heel turn and WHAM!!! Colin Delaney's career burnt in ashes! I believe that Colin was and is a Whipwreck rip-off, and also one more thing I need to add is WHY does the WWE keep on doing the face/heel turns unneccessarily without taking the fan reaction into consideration! Any suggestions/comments ;D

First off, welcome to the board.
Second, way to state the obvious. ;D
But seriously, yea, that was the whole idea. Delaney was supposed to be a Whipwreck knockoff. The difference between the two is that Paul Heyman realized something that women have probably told Vince McMahon sarcastically millions of times: size doesn't matter.
Mikey Whipwreck made it in ECW because he was booked right. Colin Delaney got screwed because he's not super-flippy like Matt Sydal. If you're that small, and you're not a cruiserweight, you're not gonna make it in WWE.

Thanks dude, one more thing......Colin Delaney is a below average wrestler...is he a real life friend of Tommy Dreamer or gay partner of Pat Patterson....cuz he is still on TV. Please correct me if I am wrong....I live in India and I've been watching wrestling since I was 5 years old. I am 24 now. I think Paul E booked the most logical matches. I guess the WWE creative should play EWR (Extreme Warfare Revenge) to learn some booking. lolz

Actually, yeah, thanks for reminding me, he used to go by Colin Olsen on the indy circuit, and most of the stuff you'll find is with his "twin brother" Jimmy Olsen as the Olsen Twins.

But, he's back in CHIKARA (his main promotion before WWE) as Colin Delaney, with the gimmick of being a huge mainstream superstar because of his WWE time. Hell, he started using the F-U as a finisher!
