www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzGFTpzl9xIA little video of the man who is now ECW's vampire destroying a couple of recognizable crusierweights. The crowd seems to react (Unless it was edited in) so what happened with the character? I wasn't watching Smackdown (or much wrestling) around this time, so could someone help me? Oh, I laughed at the "Higher Power" reference. Daggone Vince.

The charactor was dropped due to him not quite being ready for the big time *in ring wise*. He was supposed to feud with Eddie.

So...instead of run-ins like this in order to impress the audience and allow him time to train off-screen...they dropped him? I bet the Boogeyman would get a kick out of that...

Such an awesome entrance, too bad he looked like a Giant Jeff Jarrett circa 1995 once he got in the ring,

I think it's interesting they said he debuted on PPV. They rarely debut wrestlers on PPV anymore it seems.

Too bad he wasn't on tonight.

ppvs were how smackdown used to debut most of their new guys back then. I swear there were a few more, and they'd always face either scotty 2 hotty or bob holly.

I know it's the same guy, but even height wise, this guy looks like 6'8, while Fertig now looks a lot smaller. Is it just me?

I found Mordecai the character to be intriguing. The wrestler...no.
I liked the entrance, the hood, the pyro, the way his name looked on the screen behind him. But the dyed eyebrows and beard and white spandex looked bad.
On the way to the ring, it's like... "This guy will destroy the Undertaker." But inside I feel like "With My Baby Tonight" should be playing and Doink and Dink should be running in.

I have to give him props for that kick ass Lariat. Akio took that like a champ.

When I first saw Mordecai i said this is going to fail. I was right. I thought at least he would have lasted to fued with Undertaker though

Haha, Mordecai/Kevin The Vampire/More Deck Eye didn't do anything with that lariat/clothesline that anyone else wouldn't. Yang's the one who sold it like death, give your props to him. Hmm, Mordecai sure did look taller in pictures, but he's not really a tall guy at all. He's definitely slimmed down since his transition to his current gimmick though, jeez. MORE DECK EYE!

I say it was both of them, because Mordecai looked like he seriously put some force into it and was intence while doing it. and Akio/Yang did a completley kickass job at selling it.
