I watch TNA not on a constant basis but is he still employed? I always wonder how he never became much more in business.He was awesome in ECW from what i rememeber and saw,a guy with a unique look,a wild kind of charisma and was a pretty good wrestler,then ending up with WWE signing him.He did ok but slowly began a long downward spiral to becoming nothing more then a jobber.
Joins TNA,and has some success but yet again ends up being nothing truly special or important.Anyone else feel he could have been something bigger? is he a waste of talent or was always destined to be just another guy?
Just wondered because i was a big fan of his and wondering if anyone else feels disapointed with how his career has turned out.

He could have been bigger if he was bigger. When you put him in with the bigger guys he's small. Compared to how he was in ECW where he may not have been taller, but did look bigger than most.

His momentum in WWE was impacted by his neck injury. Plus, he doesn't always have Paul Heyman around, and he was always a big supporter of Rhyno.

I'm guessing he'll end up being with Raven, Stevie and Dreamer. But, if indeed Paul Heyman is coming in, maybe Rhino could be featured more.

***Not being a smartass or being condesending, seriously wondering***Do you guys really think heyman is comming in? Do you believe it will be another ECW rehash? If so do you think it will bomb?

I've always been surprised that Rhyno hasn't made it bigger than he has. He has a great look, and comes across as intense as hell. But, with the exception of ECW, he has never been constantly over in any one company. He started off good in the WWF/E, as a member of Team RECK, but, like someone has already said, a neck injury hurt him. Sadly, I totally forgot about him being TNA champion, which shows how much of a reign he must have had. Personally, I would have liked to see him in the role Abyss had recently.

I was at least semi-interested in where the Rhino/Team 3D veteran conspiracy angle was going. And then it was dropped along with everything else once Hogan/Bischoff came in.

And then it was dropped along with everything else once Hogan/Bischoff came in. a victim (the angle) of progress perhaps. I didn't see dollar signs there but it was a healthy angle that would have elivated younger guys while keeping vets in the mix so it wasn't bad booking or bad politics (it's best to balance both when you can) |

Rhyno was overrated. He could work but there was nothing to him but another long haired angry fella. I never got putting the belt on him, or a main event run. He was alright in ECW, garbage in WWE, and past his time in TNA. Man, I really must not be a Rhyno fan more than I thought!

He's still being chased by Edge & Christian. I wish team RECK had lasted longer but it was cut short by Edge's face turn and the Invasion |

What happened to Rhyno? TNA Happened... Yeah, they took a guy who was barely a mid-carder most of his time in WWE and ruined his career by giving him a main event push. |

^Man I was so pissed. They were debuting on Spike the next week so they figured that putting the belt on JJ who was recognizable would be the best launch on national tv. Umm...Ryhno was in wrestlmania while JJ was in obscurity

***Not being a smartass or being condesending, seriously wondering***Do you guys really think heyman is comming in? Do you believe it will be another ECW rehash? If so do you think it will bomb? Heyman: Unsure ECW faction/rehash: 100% Yes Will it bomb? Depends. If they use it to build up guys like Neal, Joe and Abyss I think it'll work. If it's just another empty attempt to make a buck off the ECW fans, it'll fail. |
