www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzGFTpzl9xII love how Cole and Tazz were selling this guy like he was going to kill EVERYONE. What a kickass entrance. Too bad about the, you know ... losing to Rey Mysterio and getting sent back to OVW. Also, he didn't look quite as impressive under the robe. I prefer the Thorne gimmick, for the awesome ring jackets.

They should start an angle where that staff he carried is planted around places and Kevin Thorn keeps running into it and it scares him away each time.
Finally one of his opponents gets it and hits him with it, causing the vampire blood to be sucked out of him and reverting him back into Mordecai.
After all, Mordecai was supposed to save the world from sin, so in the end, his symbol turns him from evil.

I prefer Fertig as Kevin Thorne over Mordecai, the Bizarro Undertaker.
Besides, The Thorne gimmick gave us Ariel, so it worked out for the best.

Also, I just realized that Mordecai had been brought in to feud with the Undertaker ... but once he was sent down (due to injury or stage fright), they needed a replacement, and fast. Remember who they brought in? ... yeah, I would have preferred Mordecai.

And without him, we wouldnt have gotten those great Heidenreich/Snitsky segments at Survivor Series and Royal Rumble.

Then, he becomes the Undertaker.

I'm not sure what the technical name for it is. Not the Crucifix Bomb, the other one, where he pushed Akio down with one hand after the leg lariat. Throne is a pretty good power wrestler, but I haven't seen him wrestle a match longer than a few minutes, and he punches and chokes way too often for my taste. Almost all of his actual manuvers are great, though.

I'm torn...
I like Thorne and I like Mordecai.
Why do they have to be the same guy?!

I don't see how people see Thorne's matches as average. I watch them several times over, he's the most innovative guy in the ring in ECW currently, yes even including Punk. He caught Sabu's springboard DDT and gave him a spinebuster, when Sabu went for the legs he fell on him and punched him, when Dreamer did the 10 punches on the turnbuckle, he slid under and pushed Dreamer's legs out from under him. He also has new moves almost every match, he did a Derailer type thing on Al Snow one time.

After all, Mordecai was supposed to save the world from sin, so in the end, his symbol turns him from evil. I was thinking of this storyline, and I came up with something: it would be awesome if it turned out that kayfabe-wise, Mordecai and Thorne are the same person, but Mordecai was bitten by a vampire, or otherwise seduced into vampirism by... Gangrel. It would be cool, and it would give WWECW another person who was *actually in* ECW.

I'd take Thorne over Mordecai, only because Thorn's Techno/Rock theme is greatness
