Would I be the only person that loved the Mordecai character? The wrestler playing it just sucked. I would love to see it return with a new worker recast in the role. It wasn't around long enough for anyone that care if it's someone else playing it. I know we have Bray Wyatt but with the lack of Taker & Kane I'd be up for seeing it back.
I don't think it's too cheesy, it's a damn cool look. The entrance was cool too.

Great character, Wrong wrestler
I'm sure there's someone who's floundering on NXT that could fill the role

The wrestler playing him was actually really great. It was just the wrong gimmick for him. He was great as Kevin Thorn but he (and the entire New Blood from ECW) had the rug pulled from under them and were only used to make a star out of of CM Punk.

I mean, he looked like Colonel Sanders.
No one could get over looking like that.

Mordecai is wrestling in the Absolute Intense Wrestling JT Lightning Invitational Tournament in Cleveland at the end of the month in that gimmick.

Anti-Taker was gonna have a shelf life no matter what.

People said Kane would have shelf life. Look how long he lasted. He can go as long as he likes as long as creative do it justice. In 2004 he wouldn't have lasted long as creative was in the toilet. I think now given to a good hoss worker and starting him in NXT for a good run before building to his main roster debut they can do something with it. As long as they don't job him out like Bray Wyatt.

It was a great gimmick, but he was green at that point. When he came back as Kevin Thorn, he was in much better shape, and his technique had improved significantly.

I liked him alot was sad he only lasted a month. After his promo on Eddie i half ezpected him to cost him the title setting up that feud. Then Mysterio beats him and he's never heard from again. WTF!!!!

Anti-Taker was gonna have a shelf life no matter what. Well it seemed like he was going to be a prime heel vs Eddie too. I think he could have stuck around for a bit and be a jobber to the stars type given his gimmick allows easy feuds.

Cool gimmick and entrance but the wrestler sucked. I think what kinda killed the gimmick thought was that undertaker had just returned with the deadman gimmick so mordecai just looked like a dollar tree store version of the deadman and because of that it was kinda hard to take him seriously

I liked Kevin/seven/thorn in all incarnations including Mordecai. I loved that gimmick. Maybe he got called up too soon but it could have worked.

I've mentioned this before. Don't know if anyone cares, but I went to high school with Kevin Fertig. We weren't close friends but I did know him, and I was friends with his brother. When I was in college, a mutual friend told me at one he was going to be billed as Sid's son and be called Kid Vicious. Not sure if that was really an idea pitched to him or not, and I don't know if that was just going to be when he was wrestling in Memphis or in WWE, which I assume not since Sid didn't go by Vicious in WWE.

And like Moe's boxing career, the names should get less and less intimidating as he goes down the card. "First I was Kid Vicious. Then I was Kid Rambunctious. Then I was Kid Docile. And finally, Kid Kevin."

His original Kevin Thorn gimmick was amazing, I don't care what anybody says.
Mordecai, and "Kevin with short hair and a singlet", not so much.
