Anyone else think Paul Burchall has been mishandled as of late? I mean here he had a wonderfully silly but likable pirate gimmick and they eliminate him from tv as soon as the "Pirates Of The Carribbean" movie stopped it's theatre run.
Now IMHO this is a big mistake. Not only because the movie just came to dvd but because in a few months the third (and supposedly final)sequel in the "POTC" will be coming out,which means Burchall could have another great run, but a possible tagteaming of Paul and Carlito would have been fun to watch with what they share in the whole "carribbean" thing and all.
Most importantly though the whole pirate thing was very popular with fans just about everyone liked it.
So of course the WWE decides the best thing to do is get rid of a SUCCESSFUL idea and instead give us the lame and idiotic--and not nearly as popular Cryme Tyme(yeah like this hasn't been done 80 million times already) and even worse--the Miz a bonafide "wrestling Micheal Cole"--and let's not forget WWE's own Power Ranger "MVP" , making Eugene a mentally retarded heel, and the constant overpushing of John Cena who is beginning to grate on many fans nerves who would like to see him go back to his "Eminem/Heel" self and cut out this bland "Vanillia Ice/Face" thing he's been doing for qway to long.
Everyone knows Cena was better as a foul-mouthed disrespectful heel than the Barney The purple Dinosaur he's since become.

The worst thing about it was that it was cancelled due to Vince not knowing what it was from...
AND THE SECOND MOVIE WAS ADVERTISED ON HIS SHOWS!

You do know that Burchill is off TV because of a knee injury, right? Granted he was jobbed out before hand, but still, the knee is why he is out.

Has Burchall been mis-handled?
To go with a cliche answer....
Ask Pat Patterson.

Not as mis-handled as Robocop was in WCW.

He's apparently an ass-kicking ninja masked guy in OVW, and is their champ.

As cool as the pirate character is, he is never going to win a world title as a pirate. I think it's good that he dropped the pirate gimmick, maybe he can come back and be pushed as legit competition.

This is what he looks like currently in OVW: Although he looks like a badass now, I can't believe they dropped the pirate thing because it was awesome.

I think it's good that he dropped the pirate gimmick, maybe he can come back and be pushed as legit competition. He should have gotten over with the gimmick and won the US title. Then, when he's at his peak as a face, start turning heel and drop the gimmick saying that he was done paying the fans. And that now he secure he doesn't need them anymore. I'm glad he got in SvR07 with the gimmick but I would have liked a Pirate Burchill shirt.

He does, however, laugh his ass off at retarded people and stereotypical black guys. So Burchall shall return as a mentally handicapped Al Jolson impersonator!

no thanks--we have enough mentally handicapped "wrestlers" as it is......just look at Cryme Tyme or the Miz.

When was Burchill mentally handicapped? And for that matter, when has Burchill's ability ever been doubted?

I hope he shows up in WWE with the new gimmick. Although the pirate one never reached it's full potential. Sigh..I only wish Tajiri had sticked around. Perfect ninja/pirate feud.

That alone would have outsold Cena's shirts.
