It would have been much more effective if Park was a sympathetic character. He just comes across as a moron half the time that is completely clueless. Especially since he was originally suppose to be a big time lawyer. Now, his character is almost Eugene like. It's one thing to be a confused rookie in the ring your first time, and over a year later, acting like you're mentally slow and lost whenever you step in to the ring, and a complete schmuck outside it. |

It was a complete facepalm, from start to finish. I hope someone was fired over it.

I love Daniels and even I cringed at that. So uh, good job I guess.

I have no problem with dropping the Joseph Park character, which, despite the incorrect opinions of certain people here, is still reasonably entertaining, but they have to let Park keep showing off his mic skills and personality. He's too talented to go back to being the generic monster Abyss character. It's ran its course. Evolve Park the way Mick Foley evolved. Let him be himself: A likable, charismatic guy who just happens to be a hardcore badass.

I have to chime in with the it was awful camp. Daniels was plainly not entertaining in this segment. Daniels does nothing but look like a giant asshole.

Honestly, they should have had Park snap and finally reveal that yes he is both abyss and park... this has been going on for 18 months and they have been teasing this for roughly 16 of them since his first match against Bully Ray. This is really what i thought was going to happen. I was really surpried that Park just took it and walked away. Im have no idea where they go from here but given what a good actor he has become it would be a terrible shame if they put Park back in the mask. He should have the abilites of Abyss but no mask and retain most of Parks mannerisms. Give him almost an Incredible Hulk gimmick maybe? Speak normally, can interact with, say, a tag partner or whatever, do an interview, and can even utilize the moves he used as Abyss when he's just in a normal match. However, if he gets upset, then the more violent side, such as the barbwire match stuff, can come out. |

There is a difference between being a a heel while being entertaining (Daniels normally) and being a heel who is just a giant asshole (Daniels last Thursday). Daniels got nothing but Xpac heat from me last week. |

I was expecting something terrible to happen after some of the comments here but after watching it I thought it was just standard heel behaviour. Nothing weird at all.

It's one thing to be a confused rookie in the ring your first time, and over a year later, acting like you're mentally slow and lost whenever you step in to the ring, and a complete schmuck outside it. As you can see you are the only one still remembering it, unfortunately. Joseph went from lawyer looking for his monster brother to stepping in the ring for the first time to complete retard by never overcoming the fear and acting like its his first time over and over again. |
