Ever become or attempt to become a wrestler? It occurred to me that I had never heard of anyone wrestling with a history in the XFL but I’m sure Vince and co had to have their eyes on a few of the guys. Can anyone shed some light on this?

I just remember him for a) apparently being loathed backstage in developmental for being a whiny and lying stooge, trying to hurt the careers of others, Punk most notably and b) His. Amazing. Interactions. With. TIFFANY.

He had an energetic character and encouraged his fans to use rally towels. He also had big, Carlito-esque hair. I think he may have been on Smackdown for half a cup of coffee. I think that pretty much sums his run up. He’s currently married to Layla so he’s definitely doing good for himself there.

Just to add to this - he won some matches, and had a pretty crappy splash/belly flop as a finisher. Also, if he debuted now, he’d simply be called “Ricky”.

Atlas Debone/Ricky Ortiz was an XFL guy. He also sucked. I got to see his work in OVW and he was really popular there, and did well at house shows. The problem was his high-energy gimmick didn't "Translate" to the larger arenas, kinda like Deuce before he was paired with Domino. On another board he was known as "Ricky Backslide" since IIRC he won his first televised match with one.

I know it's not the same, but Mike Adamle was an XFL announcer before WWE signed him --- I think he was training to wrestle at some point during his run

Does marrying Layla make him, by default, the most successful person to come out of the XFL? Not career-wise, but just, you know, in life?

Since the only other person beyond Rod "He Hate Me" Smart that had any success outside of there was Tommy Maddox (played for the Steelers after the XFL, won a Super Bowl as Big Ben's backup), I would honestly say no.

I remember Ricky Ortiz had the worst finisher in the history of finishers
THE BIG O! (Running splash. From a guy that wasn't even that big)

Remember how Ricky Ortiz was originally Atlas Ortiz then they just awkwardly renamed him in a backstage segment with little explanation because Tony Atlas was about to show up?
