Whatever happened to that? Those vignettes were pretty good, and "I'm not telling you anything you don't already know" became me and friends catchphrase for a while. All I remember about him actually showing up on TV, however, was on Smackdown when somebody was beating up a random jobber, (IIRC, it was Bob Holly vs. Randy Orton. Which makes you wonder exactly who the jobber was) and Sean O' Haire talking to the guy backstage. Also, does anyone have Transcripts of those promos? Because they own.

The only thing I remember was O'Haire convincing Spanky Kendrick to run out to the ring naked so that he could.... well, I don't know. Maybe as a tribute to Naked Mideon or something.

Don't forget him telling Dawn Marie to go out to the ring and flash the crowd, and she LITERALLY did!!!
Sean O'Hare instantly became my favorite wrestler!!!

Dang. I just remembered exactly how strange naked mideon was. Do you mean strange or stupid? Nake Mideon was one of the worst gimmicks I've seen. Wrestling fans get enough grief from people who make homosexual references about our brand of entertainment. The last thing we needed was a naked (and far-from-attractive) man competing. As for O'Hare, his gimmick seemed to have a TON of potential. Its too bad he got wrapped up in the Roddy Piper-Hulk Hogan-Zack Gowen-Vince McMahon crap, and got buried because of it.

He didn't tell me anything that I didn't already know.
"If God is everywhere, why go to church? He's right next to you."
I mean, a LIBERAL, wrestling? Now THAT is original. And furthurmore, the Widowmaker was a pretty decent and original finisher. And with a name like that, he didn't have an Irish gimmick. That's original, too. He should have been the one debating Scott Steiner.
Sean: So, you want to go to war, because Saddam is "evil". What the hell is that? Why not go to war with any other country? I hear Kim Jong Ill is just as evil, why don't we nuke them? Scott: SCREW FRANCE! SCREW THE DIXIE CHICKS! Sean: Listen to you. You know I'm right. What are you doing? You're not sure about what you stand for anymore, are you? Scott: YOU EAT CHEESE! CHEESE-EATING SURRENDER MONKEY! Sean: Join me, and together we will rule over wrestling as Liberals. EVIL Liberals. Scott: I'M A REALLY, REALLY BIG GUY! (Falls down dead.) Sean: Well, he's dead. And guess what? He'll stay dead. No heaven or hell. He's just worm food now. Hell, I'm not telling you anything that you don't already know.
Now THAT is cool. Steiner dead, O' Haire ruling over all, and no Sylvan Grenier. What's missing? Hmm.
Molly: Oh, Limey! Take me now!
THERE we go!

Man, I've gotta have transcripts for those. And what's up with the WWE killing potentially good angles? The Devil's Advocate, Raven's Masterpiece, Chavo's "Special Friend." Well, scratch the Chavo one. but still.

I heard it was killed because OHaire was supposed to be a heel but was getting face reactions. Turns out people LIKE being told to sin.
Also, Roddy Piper.

Sean should have changed his last name to O'HHHaire. He would still be around, and he'd have roughly 6 world title reigns to his credit.

HHH is not Satan. Everyone knows Satan is Vince McMahon!
The O'Haire gimmick would have been awesome. I put it in the same league as Waylon Mercy as a gimmick that would have been white hot, if there hadn't been some kind of screw up. As a matter of fact, that would have been an interesting combination...maybe they should have brought Spivey back as his manager:
Waylon: Now remember...lives are gonna be in your hands, Sean. O'Haire: You aren't telling me anything that I don't already know...

Why would he do this..

Last time I saw O'Haire, he was on Velocity wasting his potential. Basically, he and piper had a feud with, i believe, Rikishi and Scotty, and after that, nothing. Sad, I'm one of the few that brings up O'Haire's name whenever there's a "who shouldn't they have fired" or "who was wasted" threads.

He'd come out wearing nothing but a fannypack around his waist. Back on-topic, I didn't see much of O'Haire's gimmick, but it sounds like it had potential.

Why would he do this? Because:
Naked Fat Guys = HUMOR!
To be honest, it actually was kind of funny. Gross... especially on a top rope when his little Mideon almost flopped out... but still kind of funny.

Ohaire's gimmick was awesome but he probably got so popular that he upset HHH...
