So, what happened to this dude's push? Or is he the Brian Kendrick of WWE and just excusively just wrestles for gimmick PPVs (and at times Superstars)?
And I mention Kendrick because when TNA signed him they just wanted him to wrestle PPVs as they had no room for him on tv, so he threw a fit at the agents(from London & Kendrick shoot).
At this rate, after losing the Rumble, Reks's next match is MITB.

He needs a gimmick
A Rob Zombie character might suit him

When I was at the pub watching SvS to zero reaction, I suggested he get a "Living Dead" type gimmick where he believes he's a survivor of zombie apocalypse and he's paranoid of everyone around him thinking they're infected, to a point where he violently attacks them without warning.

This would win, but it sounds more suited to Chikara than WWE. |

He didn't get over in 2 weeks.
The fact that they debuted him by having him beat a jobber who had already had a match just before didn't help. Or giving Reks no real promo time or character development besides strange man with dreadlocks.

I mentioned in another place that they should've hired Mike Knox back and have him and Reks team up as Caveman Neandethrals who got frozen in a block of Ice during the Ice Age and where recently thawed out.
They both look the part and it'd make as much sense as the other gimmicks WWE has tried.

Actually he was pushed after his redebut as very strong guy who took Big Show of his feets but he is like Eric Escobar and wants push without real reason.

So, what happened to this dude's push? They realized he sucked and the fans didn't care? That still didn't stop them from putting him in big PPV matches (Bragging Rights & Survivor Series matches). I'm pretty sure they will put him in the Rumble while Hawkins & Barretta will still be ignored. Then he'll be in an Elimination Match, MITB Match, etc. |

He's the new Monsterous Mike Knox. Heel who has weird hair and tries to look intimidating while saying and doing nothing. Maybe he can lose 20 times in a row to Rey Mysterio soon?

Not exactly sure how it came about that he suddenly sucks. If you were to watch his recent matches, they've actually been pretty good. He has a unique look even if some may not like it. And he hasn't been given a chance to cut a promo so no one can say for sure he's bad on the mike. Given the chance he could be a solid contender for the IC belt.

He can only appear so often, due to the fact that he's not allowed to fly.

That was the original idea for heidenreich, only he was going to be a nazi (i still kind of wish they did that gimmick, just to see how it would have played out). |

A lot of people complain that everyone on the roster looks and dresses the same...
...and then they complain that a guy has a different look?
