Ariel isn't that attractive. Big cans? Check. Goth look? Check. Personality? Nope. Big FAKE cans? Nah.
Thorn's cute in an Eddie Munster-way.

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. I thought they dropped him because it offended too many people (similar to why Hassan got dropped). Doesn't help that he looked like Jeff Jarrett (I would've let him keep his look he had as Seven)

Wait...how did Mordecai offend anyone when he was basically just the "Anti-Taker."
Is it the "Higher Power" references? That seems like kind of a silly reason.
Now that everyone mentions it, he did look like Jarrett. Funny...

Also, technically with that nickname, he is one of the Four Horsemen (of the Apocalypse)...

Probably better to axe one "weird" gimmick for another that won't get Jerry Falwell or the PTC after them. I heard the Pale Rider reference on the video...didn't really "shock" me but I can understand the worry...

WWE destroyed them? I just figured people decided to ignore the PTC. Oh well, whatever works.

The Guy with a razors edge for a Finisher :/
I have to admit i marked for this Gimmick Back then and wish it lasted a tad bit longer.
The Vampire doesnt do anything for me..
Plus that Entrance music is awesome.

Yeah, PTC was basically proven completely wrong, and had to pay WWE a certain amount of money in damages, I forget how much, and L. Brent Bozell had to write a public apology, which I have to imagine was incredibly satisfying for Vince.

I loved this gimmick and his look, entrance, and so on.
I think he's a bit more interesting as the vampire in-ring wise, however.

Thank god for my fake Myspace account so I could save the extra pics. I can believe it. It's just that all the pale/red makeup isn't flattering by any means. I know it's part of her gimmick, but ... ick.

Shelly looks a lot like Tracy Brooks' twin in her more attractive photos.
Can't say that's a bad thing because it's not.
