Anyone?
I personally liked The name Mordecai better...Kevin Thorn sounds kinda dumb and much too obvious.

Obvious? He's not named Kevin Fang.  Thorn is much better as, well, Thorn. |

I'm just glad he is back on TV. Mordecai showed a lot of potential. Is there a reason why he was divided in half and one of those halves was shipped to TNA?

Kevin Thorn is still a better name than the original name he used at an ECW house show before he was officially named on TV -- and that was simply "Fertig". I think I read that anyway, I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong.

I actually dug Mordecai. His gimmick was fun to try to work out and he showed his promo skills. Kevin Thorn's hardly a vampire at all anymore, just a goth. Yes I'm told he frequents Bite Clubs but how will I know without proof?

Not a fan of either really. Mordecai was too short lived to decide if I cared about it or not.

I loved the Mordecai gimmick and still do. It had a ton more depth than most gimmicks and I think he pulled it off well, but too bad he had stage fright.
I like him as he is now though, so it's all good.

Maybe Balls if things don't go well? |

Thorn: "....clean?" Balls: "There you go." |

Mordecai was much cooler.
There can't be another vampire gimmick in WWE after the beauty of Gangrel's entrance.
They'd bring back Mordecai anyway, with some kind of conversion... A feud against Taker (or Kane...) could help the turn... Something like, after getting purified by the flames of hell, Thorn became holy again.
[first and probably last try with fantasy booking...]

I prefer not to be thrown up on backstage, so I vote for Thorn, whose look is reminiscent of Ministry Undertaker.

Mordecai was certainl a more intriguing character. If only his ring skills were up to par back then.

Can someone describe what the Mordecai gimmick actually was? I've seen the pictures of him wearing white, but I don't think I ever actually saw him on TV. I blinked and missed Mordecai.

I blinked and missed Mordecai. think Nega-underaker But Undertaker's the good guy (despite being the Lord of Darkness), and Mordecai (despite dressing in all white claiming to be coming from the right hand of god) and probably an angel or horseman, is evil and looks like an amish wizard. Oddly enough, Undertaker, as evil as he tries to be, seems to be the only character who can cooly blend in religious elements in his character. They've used so much scripture and symoblism in his promos and angles, you'd think that the Undertaekr was Jesus. |

Kevin Thorn = ok/fine gimmick
Mordecai = great gimmick
Unfortunately he didn't appear ready during his stint as Mordecai (his ringwork seemed incredibly limited) and the improvement second time round has been vast.
So I had to vote for Thorn.
