I mean he such a dark character in TNA, how well do you think he'll work in WWE, particularly in the ECW brand?

Kevin Thorn couldn't get over with his "dark character." Then there's the Boogeyman, who seems to be just for comedy. I'm guessing Rellik wouldn't work in WWE.

But Kevin Thorn looked like a chubby goth kid who thought he was a vampire and Boogey has a sort of cartoonish look. Rellik actually looks quite menacing, I think he could go down pretty well

Dark characters can work in WWE. Original Mankind anyone?

Well, WWE would probably book him to win a match every now and then, so... better?

I sorta hate to bring it up, but... do you really think a guy named Rellik would work in WWE only a few months after HE WHO SHALL NOT BE NAMED "dellik"-ed his family and then himself?

If done right, a dark gimmick can be done very well.
Ask Kane, Undertaker, Mankind, and a slew of others. It really depends on the wrestler you are dealing with.

Rellik actually looks quite menacing A relatively small wrestler wearing a weird skirt thing is not menacing, whatsoever.

It really depends on the wrestler you are dealing with. i was going to bring up kane. you're right about it being dependant on the wrestler. the reason it worked was because of glen jacobs imposing size, and the added relationship to the undertaker. its hard to book a viscous monster in the WWE when the medium sized guys are the likes HHH and cena, both of whom are enormous by realistic standards and bigger than rellik.

Two questions about Rellik:
1) What exactly is his gimmick?
2) Who's doing the gimmick? Like, whos the actual wrestler?

Outside of 'dude wearing mask', does the guy even really have a character?

I don't think he's been actually given any real character yet, he's just a creppy guy that hangs out with Black Reign and James Mitchell. As for the wrestler, I almost positive it's Johnny "The Bull" Stamboli.
