Reckon I am probably going to be in the minority here but after going over a few old Monday night Raws I got reminded of Rodney Mack and Jazz, I think WWE dropped the ball with Mack as he was a pretty good wrestler. Jazz obviously did better and was a great character for the women's division but Mack in my opinion should have been given a bit more time & allowed to be in a few more angles to develop his character.
What are others thoughts and memories on his brief spell in the WWE

Jazz’s entrance theme is seriously one of my faves. That opening sax is killer.

Jazz had an alright run as she had the title a few times but if I rememeber she was kind of injury prone and I think they eventually just kind of lost interest and decided to go with Molly Holly instead as the top heel in Raw women's division. I remember Mack getting a decent push for a little bit with the five minute white boy challenge but really lacked charisma and wasn't over at all despite being a solid wrestler. They started teaming him with Mark Henry but he got injured shortly into that and then they just kind of gave up on him.

Rodney Mack was one dangerous looking dude.
It's funny because he replaced Bull Buchanan as John Cena's henchmen and Bull was later released. He then replaced D'Lo Brown as Teddy Long's henchman and D'Lo was released.
There's also his bizarre tag team with Christopher Nowinski.

Rodney Mack suffered from being an overall solid worker with a completely forgettable moveset and a generic look. Nothing really "popped" about him that made you take notice of the guy or stick with you when his segment on the show was over. I think maybe given more time or put in with the right workers he could've developed more but at some point it's kind of like why bother? There were a lot of young talents coming in from OVW and the indies by that point that were younger and had more upside to them.
Jazz I feel for, she had a decent run but it really could've been so much more had Trish not had the strangle hold on the division she had at the time.

If I recall correctly, Jazz was the Women's Champion when the original brand split occurred.

I thought Jazz did just fine for herself in WWE feuding with Trish, as for Rodney Mack I think he would have done better if he had stayed on Smackdown as John Cena's tag partner in early 2003.

Jazz was awesome and would be perfect for now.
She was just unlike the other girls and real solid in the ring.
Rodney Mack, I don't know. Didn't really get into the guy all that much. Came across as a someone else's goon at best.

For a long time I thought Rodney Mack was a comedy character because when he did his "White Boy Challenge" I didn't actually realise that he was black. I thought it was some sort of Russo or Vince creation where they thought would be hilarious if they had a white guy who thought he was a black guy.
So as that was my first impression of him he was pretty much done for me.

God, that was awesome. Might be my favorite Goldberg moment ever. That spear out of the pyro was so badass. |

I remember they hired them back for the ECW reboot, used Jazz once, then fired them six months later.

If I recall correctly, Jazz was the Women's Champion when the original brand split occurred. Yep because Trish had heat for being a woman and daring to speak up during a pre-show roster meeting and then she said no when Stephanie wanted to book her to makeout with Torrie Wilson in a bikini so her punishment was they took the title off her for a couple months. |
