I liked him. He knows how to work a mic and if he wasn't blowing out his knee, he was pretty good in the ring. |

His match against Undertaker at WM XII is one of the more underrated matches in WM lore.
If Diesel wasn't that influential and the match not that big a deal, then why did they have Mark Henry pretty much do the same exact build-up that this match had, 10-11 years later?
("I'm not afraid of the dark!", yet still creeped out by the coffin. Nash took it a step further and had a carbon copy of himself lying inside.)

I always liked Diesel. The only times I ever rooted against him were in his matches with Bret Hart. End even then, I wasn't totally against him. I just would've prefered it if Hart had won the matches. The interviews from '94/'95 may not seem all that charismatic now, but nobody was very charismatic at that time. I think that's the company's fault though. In WCW, all the way through to the nWo Wolf Pack stuff, the guy was the best crowd pleaser with the microphone that they had.

I'm pretty sure Diesel won the championship in Madison Square Garden in front of 200,000 screaming fans. MSG normally can't even hold that many, but it did that night.

What I always wanted, but will now probably never happen, was for a meeting between E&C era Edge, Christian and Outsiders era Hall, Nash. Done in a similar style to the bit in Beavis & Butthead do America, where B & B meet their dads.
