I'm sitting here watching Hardcore Homecoming, and watching the Chris Chetti and Mikey Whipwreck vs CW Anderson and Simon Diamond match, and it struck me. Why wasn't Chris Chetti picked up by either WWE or WCW? He doesn't seem like a bad wrestler, especially for someone who hadn't wrestled in 4 years. He had the look, and seemed to be at least as big as Jericho or HBK. I remember reading PWI magazine years ago and seeing that he was picked as a guy who could be the next big star, but then when ECW went out of business, I never heard about him again.

Does he even still wrestle? I think I heard he had an attitude similar to Taz in that he thought he was better than he was (weren't the two cousins?) and the E wasn't interested in him due to that

i havent ever heard anything negative about Chetti. I think his problem was a lack of personality and mic skills.

I think it was just that he was a trifle bland. |

He had a short, but very good, match against the Franchise at Wrestlepalooza '97 that always made me think he was going to be HUGE one day.
Ah well.

I thought he was signed by WWE for like two weeks then let go. Did WWE ever hire Doring?

He was in exactly two tv matches if I remember correctly, and one of those was a battle royal, so it doesn't really count. |

Doring had tv matches against Mike Knox, Punk and RVD. You could count the amount of moves he got in during those matches on one hand.

He's also a small guy (to WWE standards) and his injury which kept him out of ECW for a while also could have been a factor. I have to say, the Title Wave was my favorite top rope double team finisher until I saw Spanish Fly. |

I never thought Chetti was bland, and he was a good talent. I think what did it was the injury he suffered at Anarchy Rulz 99 that kept him out of action for 6 months. It meant he had to build back up from the bottom again, and he lost a lot of the momentum that he had gained.

I saw a Chetti/Nova vs Doring/Roadkill match and halfway through it Chetti does this awesome springbaoard moonsault and then starts dancing to Ricky Martin. It was brilliant.
