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. Probably because wrestling isn't all about flashy moves.

Am I the only one who liked the Mordecai gimmick? Still, like him as Thorn, and he's definitely improved in that time. If ECW were to revive the TV title, I'd probably give it to him.

Sadly, it doesn't seem like Thorne is very good on the microphone. Then again, some guys just don't need to say a word.

I don't expect him to last long in the Rumble, but I can't wait for his first big time entrance.
I love that wacky New Age mystic-techo chanting thing.
God, I sound like Tazz.

Oh, I just noticed something from watching the Hardcore Hangover. Joey Styles mentions that he had to invite Thorne into the arena to show his stuff, after the few vignettes of Thorne standing around outside spitting blood at the camera. They actually did the bit where the vampire has to be invited in! That's classic vampire lore. That's so cool.

I thought the guy was pretty damn badass and was looking forward to the day he feuded with the Undertaker. Needless to say, I was quite disappointed to never see him again in a few weeks. R.D. made the bastard a Gooker nominee! Ask him about that one! T_T
