I thought out of the cruiser guys from wCw that he was second best one after Rey Mysterio when he debut in the WWE. However after his run with Paul London he got fired and I have heard nothing more about him. I thought he would be all up in TNA, but he hasnt even showed there once.
I heard he was like in OVW or something, but is he still wrestling?
I'd like to see his butt back on TV!

Last I read, he was a trainer for FCW.
I did really like him in The Flock. That was something cool for him to do.
Once he got to WWE and botched that SSP on Chavo (and the storyline that followed), I pretty much lost interest in the guy.
He was married to Torrie, though, so good for him.
With Evan Bourne getting a pretty decent push, I really don't see where he would fit in on WWE TV.
Not sure if he would really stand out in the X Division.

As said, he trains the Divas in FCW and occasionally works as an agent/producer.

One last note- Didn't he pretty much retire after he & Torrie split?

Wherever he is, I can guarantee he's not being powerbombed.

He now wrestles as Cliff Compton, and does reviews online as Spoony.

About eighteen inches to the left and a foot back of where he's supposed to land.

About eighteen inches to the left and a foot back of where he's supposed to land. Yup. The way I remember it was that he basically forgot how to do his own finisher (the shooting star press) and retired after injuring about a half dozen guys with it. |

Wasn't the injuring people bit mostly an angle built around accidentally injuring Chavo? I can understand why he would start injuring people though, he went on the Mysterio diet and turned from a cruiserweight with the body of a gymnast to having the standard WWE look, losing a lot of his flexibility in the process and a lot of the athleticism that made up for his lack of charisma. |

Kidman was boring to me. I know I'm going to get some hate shot at me, but his WWE Run...didn't do anything for me. During his heel days in NB his shoots seemed so forced because he had zero personality and charisma. After he went heel in WWE...nobody really cared for him and was stuck on Velocity. Seems the only things he had going for him is the SSP...And Torrie Wilson

He was fired in 2005. He's still in the process of completing his 7 Year Itch.

In WCW he had a distinctive look and got over by being good in the ring, but in the WWE he was made to look like everyone else for whatever reason, short trunks, short hair, oily muscles and a tan. Your reasons for hating him are spot on, why should anyone care about him when he didn't stand out in any way? |

Come to think of it, maybe thats why I didn't find him entertaining in WWE, because they had him drop the T-Shirt/Blue Jeans combo, had him cut his hair, and made him look so generic. When he was babbling on the mic about not doing the SSP anymore, newer fans were probably wondering "Who is this jack ass?" It would have probably been a good idea for him to go to WWA All Stars and later TNA before going to WWE. |
