He's been Husky for a while now. They dropped the masked monster Axel Mulligan gimmick a few weeks after introducing it. Also he is the new FCW tag champs with his bro, Bo. Bo Harris? Bo Rotundo.

Bo Rotundo. Bo looks like the third Uso.

I can take everything about Bo Rotundo seriously but his hair. It just looks so weird juxtaposed with his babyface.
Dude either needs to grow some facial hair or get a different haircut.

Original look for Kenneth Cameron there. Amazing no one ever came up with the greasy long hair combed straight back before.

Also, please welcome the new and improved Richie Steamboat: {Spoiler} Nope, not feeling it. Not feeling the hair, the beard, or the heel turn. He's a Steamboat, so book him like one; why are they messing with what works?

Steamboat looks shockingly out of work with that hair and beard combo.

I don't know if this will translate over into his FCW or WWE name but Hero is using the name of Chris Hyde for the Wrestling Retribution Project

Steamboat was only a heel for his feud with Husky Harris, and somehow became a face again when he beat Damien Sandow for the 15 Title.
Think they're waiting on Saraya's profile until she debuts on TV.

Think they're waiting on Saraya's profile until she debuts on TV. And this would probably be the case for Hero as well... and given that they only had the TV tapings for the next 3 weeks a week ago, it might be a while for him.

How would they know if he's a good heel or not if they don't try him as one? Particularly given that most any time they've tried to turn a guy into a clone of his dad it's been a disaster. Why try it again? Granted, I still absolutely cannot take the name Richie seriously.

With Richie's heel turn, I think it was because of Bo's injury. Bo and Husky had been having a lot of friction over Aksana and missing Sunday dinner (oh boys <3) when he was suddenly injured. Then Aksana went crying to Richie about Husky and turned him with her evil wiles into what seemed like the exact same storyline they were planning for Husky/Bo. With the sudden face turn around Bo's return and immediately after the bullrope match blow off, it seemed more like a convenience heel turn that's now been rectified.
But yes, I think for both Bo and Richie, they want to just experiment with them as heels while they're still down in developmental.
Re. Richie and his dad, surely Ricky was that long ago that a lot of people wouldn't really draw many comparisons? Certainly I never saw Ricky back in the day and I've been watching a long time.

Dude looks just like Dave Williams (R.I.P) formerly of Drowning Pool (go watch the video for Bodies or Tear Away). He's big, young and decent in the ring. So what da HALE do they insist on calling him Husky Harris, a name that a 4 y.o. couldn't take seriously? Let him be Axel Mulligan, come out stomping to some heavy thrash, and let him run with the rough and tumble Texan gimmick he had and he'll turn out fine. Let him be Pantera as a wrestler!
