Never saw the appeal of Rhino, don't care if he ever comes back.

^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 The sad irony is that I made the joke knowing he had a short reign but couldn't remember exactly how short it was. I thought it was a few weeks. Then I looked it up and went "oh shit...."

Rhyno became a TNA guy. TNA doesn't want to feature TNA talent.

Bigger question is at this point who cares.

rhyno has always been devoid of a personality which is why he was never as big a star as he could have been. I believe though he's one of the nicest wrestlers you could meet. Give him more mic time and decide for once if hes gonna be heel or face, stop changing him every time he does appear on tv

Rhyno excelled in ECW because of Heyman's "hide all weakness" booking. He didn't fare as well in the bigger WWE because WWE used size as the only way to create a monster heel.

That excuse maybe has some truth to it but it still doesn't explain why he is constantly underbooked and underutilized in TNA. He's still one of the bigger more intimidating looking guys on their roster.

I always thought Rhyno was a upper mid card flirt with the title kinda guy BUT never saw him as a major fixture in the main event scene of a big time company. TNA gave him a title run but recently he has faded big time.
If this ECW rehash thing is going on then Rhyno will likely be a part of it. However the guy had a ceiling he was going to fall just short of the main event scene.

More than his miniscule title run, TNA really dropped the ball a few years ago when he cut that great promo about WWE restarting ECW without him and burned the ECW belt. That was the only time other than Spike/Brother Runt ripping up the ONS contract where a shot at WWE didn't feel cheap or forced. And then from one seemingly throwaway promo, TNA could have capitalised and pushed him with all this new momentum with his newfound/rediscovered intensity, and instead there was nothing memorable until his 8 Mile Street Fight with Christian.
Other than Samoa Joe, this for me was the worst case of TNA not taking advantage of something that could have really helped the promotion.

Well Rhino is apart of the ECW stable. He was with them on Impact last night. THe guy problem is that TNA is not giving him a real character. For a while he was just the guy for when a face singles guy needs a partner or the guy to play peace maker. Then he turned heel for Bobby Lashley where he became a whinner.
