Very underutilized talent.

I actually find the awkwardness and weird promo/character style he did (whether intentional or legit bad) to have potential. I didn't mind the guy actually. I can't remember what he did after being GM other than that tape controversy and the lost in a cave stuff, before being unceremoniously fired. Didn't he become an actual wrestler on the main roster? Kind of but not really. By the time he was fired he had worked as a tag team with Adam Rose on house shows and whatnot. At some point he dyed his hair platinum blonde and underwent a couple of name changes. I don’t really remember him having any TV matches after being fired as GM though. He was going to call himself "Lord Ruffles". Dude was supremely weird, just before "supremely weird" became something to be celebrated.

We will always hold a place in my heart for his appearance in the 2k games, if nothing else.

What is the cave incident everyone is mentioning? o. He hadn’t been on TV in ages and then he posted a video, out of character, on his (I think) Facebook page where he said he had went potholing and had got lost. He said he was in serious trouble and needed help before his phone battery died. I remember the thread in here because people were genuinely concerned. But it wasn’t a work in the sense he was doing it for WWE, it was for no other reason than some sort of self publicity or something. A really stupid thing to do.

I was a big fan. I thought he was hilarious and a great, and unique, promo. I think his humour went over a lot of people's heads though for whatever reason.

His best moment was when he called out the Shield and said “justice awaits you.” Legitimately the first thing to come to mind for me when I saw the thread, lol. "It's gonna be me and NOT JOHN CENA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I see where Ziggler got his recent promo style from.

Weren't they super high on him at one point? I seem to remember him appearing with Paige in one of their movies.

Hated him, because there was never an explanation provided as to who he was or why he was there.

I think he was probably the last of the lost generation.

I remember when he was in OVW. I told my buddy that he would be a huge star. I was wrong :-(

I don't know what's more relevant to do, just come into the thread and shout BEEF MODE or post that time he dressed up as a turkey and ate a tombstone from the Undertaker. Ah hell, may as well do both now, I guess. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaO5MZImKxs (Linked because I guess Fallon's original version is no longer up on YT?)

And then the promo he did afterwards can now be pretty much be interpreted as "Paige dumped me and I'm still not over it"

Seemed like a very strange man. I enjoyed him well enough as a character, but it did seem that WWE were sometimes at a loss trying to find things to use him for.

It was daft, and I must admit I was concerned at first, but common sense should say he wouldn't have a working phone (and Internet connection to upload) after like 2 weeks in a cave. Plus there was the point where he made it obvious that he closed a door. It was some pretty solid acting though, dude has talent and I'm surprised he's seemingly doing nothing and not been picked up SOMEWHERE in the entertainment business.

I can’t lie. I’ve seen his ballsack. If I ever meet Xavier Woods, this will be the first thing I say to him.
