Tyler Reks

I can't stand him, he's way too bland and forgettable. When he comes out the announcers bang on about him being a surfer and jumping out of planes and looking for the next "thrill"....but he never shows this. Besides them saying that's his gimmick, he doesn't ever seem to show any of this in his matches.

Personally Id go one step further with the gimmick and turn him into Patrick Swayze from Point Break. No I don't mean robbing banks in a president mask, but have him heel it up looking for that next big THRILL. Or have him totally annihilate someone like Kane or Khali backstage and get them worked up and after him because he see's that fear and challenge as a high akin to diving out of a plane and surfing the big waves.

I like that a lot. Your right about Reks too. I think the WWE agree too as he has seen very little TV time as of late.

Really?

He's constantly on either ECW or Superstars...as I have to keep skipping him

IrishBulldozer · November 6th, 2009, 4:32 PM

I havent seen him on ECW in a long while. Perhaps I blocked him from my memory. And since they moved the Superstars replay to midnight I haven't gotten to watch it in well over a month.

Big Dick Johnson / Charlie Haas

Big Dick Johnson is listed on the Raw roster, so I'm gonna use him. Charlie Haas is someone who came in really strong, aligning himself with Angle and Shelton, but that was then.

Pair these two. It can work. Bring back the role of the male manager. With Haas's background, Johnson could be a coach/manager for him. Johnson fits the look of a coach really well. Maybe give him a visor(no whistle) and a polo shirt. It is also not uncommon for many coaches to be afflicted with obesity, so it all kind of comes together for Johnson in a less humiliating way. I'm sure he doesn't mind the whole male stripper thing, but I'm sure he'd prefer a much more traditional gig.

Johnson has great energy that could easily be translated to a heel manager roll. I could imagine him stomping down the isle, yelling at the fans. In the days when managers were relevant, sometimes the managers themselves were just as big stars or personalities as the wrestlers, if not bigger. This could be just what Haas needs.

what a unique perspective.

I'm the only one that likes Reks and the surfer gimmick.

btw, I saw the title and thought it was about the old Nickelodeon game show.

Reks hasn't been on ECW in a looong time. Trust me, i write weekly reviews. He's been on Superstars almost regularly, though, recently losing to Sheamus, Burchill, and Ryder.

Like I said, I'm rarely up until midnight on a work night if I can help it. Damn them for taking away my 11pm replay as that is pushing it but still an option.

Probably. Tyler feels like someone that could be somewhat of a star but is missing that piece of the puzzle. I think a heel turn would make him good. He's about as interesting as Rocky Maivia in 1996 right now.

I kind of liked the Festus/CM Punk rumors. Wouldn't mind seeing that at all. Festus is pretty great for a big man when he is allowed to cut loose in the ring. Haven't seen him in ages though. Where is he? Counseling with Dr. Stevie?
