Change his name to Eric Forman and put him in a team with Abyss, who for some reason everybody must start calling "Red". The team of That 70's Monster is born. Give Abyss the catchphrase "Dumbass" and we're onto a winner. And Christy Hemme can dress as a schoolgirl and be their valet.

Too much talent in TNA to care at all about what Eric Young is doing.

I tend to think Eric Young is so done at this point that no new gimmick will help. Sure, he's had so many different gimmicks over the past few years but the problem is that aside from the brief point where he was a fun goof, Young isn't really GOOD at any of this stuff. He's the sort of guy you push if you don't have anybody.

Wow, the disdain. Really, for Eric Young? I can think of at least 10 people who I would can before Eric Young, even if there's no storyline for him. And why does everyone need a gimmick? Can't the wrestling speak for itself sometimes? I say save him for the same reason I don't mind having someone like Percy Watson around. Not everyone can or should be main event material. They can, however, be tolerable.

Eric Young needs a gimmick though. He's not good enough to simply be a Dean Malenko style "I'm boring, but I rule" pro wrestler.

Eric has to be a heel. Seems like every time they turn him face, they also saddle him with something so ridiculous I'm not buying it.

I dunno. Personally, I like him as comic relief low on the card more than anything else he's done. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with playing that role. So, yeah, keep him around and keep him in that role, and I personally have no complaints about how he's being used.

I like Young. He's a seriously good worker. It simply annoys me to no end that no matter the push, no matter the storyline, and no matter how far he's allegedly come, he will always (ALWAYS) revert back to idiot man-child mode. That's his default, and if they were never going to seriously give him a go in his other gimmicks, then they never should have bothered, simply keeping him as their comedy face/heel and trying to rope in kids with him or something.

I don't get the hate Young gets at all. Its really the fact that Vinny Russo sucks at his job and screwed Young over so many times that Young is stuck doing a crappy gimmick. Young should just go back to the tag division as I said he would work well with Terry its a good fit as Young could be the heel hiding behind Terry and Young could carry the work load as Terry isn't the best worker. Young has a place in TNA it just sucks that the stars never aligned for him to make any serious push up the card.

Am I the only one that actually really likes the current character Eric Young has been using on Xplosion?
I think his promos and in-ring comedy is hilarious.....

Poor EY seems to be the guy who is involved in wrestlecrap thorughout his career. A gazillion heel/face turns, swerves and stupid, stupid gimmicks. I don't think he will go anywhere in TNA.
