I don't know if anyone else has reported this, and if they have, then please lock this, but per the Wrestling Observer website:
Jon Hugger aka Johnny Stamboli was the mystery bodybuilder who blew mist at Abyss in the opener

Also, he has been renamed "Crimson Blood" which I think is a better character name than a stolen movie line.

A lot better than plain Mamaluke / Paisan Johnny the Bull. True. At least it's a new gimmick that's not "generic Italian guy" that he's been playing his whole career. |

I've always liked Stamboli so it's good that he's getting a run in TNA. Does anyone know why WWE didn't pick him up after he had a tryout a few months ago I thought they were going to sign him?

I'll be honest, I thought they HAD signed him, which is why I was so surprised when I learned he was in TNA. |

I hope this leads to Mitchell building an army of monsters like this. Make a stable with Black Reign, Crimson Blood, Havok, and like 2 other monster/evil type characters to fight Abyss.
It's so campy and 1998 that I think I like it. I like Crimson Blood's look, but the name sucks IMO.

I guess when Mesias returns, he'd work, but who else would you get to fill it out, because I love the concept. |

I'd rather them keep continuity and keep Raven against Mitchell. Raven had a promo saying he wanted to face Abyss, so maybe they can become friendly foes who team up against Mitchell but then have their own program. |

Hell no, I don't want him brought in just to be fed to Abyss. I want him to become his own guy in TNA, and do what others have done. Destroy abyss mercilessly then go on to fued with Rhino. |

No....more....evil....monsters. Is 2 not enough? You have to have ANOTHER gimmick character in this feud? If this leads to another incredibly cheesy gimmick match or another late-WWF stable rehash...
I kinda' hope he sticks with "Redrum" though. "Crimson Blood" just sounds weird. As opposed to what? Green Vulcan blood?

Does anyone know why WWE didn't pick him up after he had a tryout a few months ago I thought they were going to sign him? according to wikipedia, he was gonna be signed but his name was on the steroid list so the WWE decided to stay away from him. |

Crimson Blood, Black Reign, ...and a returning Judas Mesisas, rechristened as Gang Green.
They are THE RAINBOW OF DEATH.
