"Well, that's, like, your opinion, man."

Seriously, you're right that he was ripped (which was obviously a precondition of giving him the aforementioned rocket-up-ass) and the accessorized entrance was more above average than Mike Sanders. Don't know about the belt "suiting him" though. If anything, it just made it more farcical. However, none of that made up for what the company tried to do in any way... proven by when they just as quickly abandoned all of that and it was back to the midcard for him. WWE has failed way too many times on "asthetics" alone to never learn the lesson of having a shitty success rate. About the only times it worked was Ultimate Warrior and Ryback. Mayyyybe Chris Masters, but again, his whole gimmick was predicated with him being on the gas, and once he had to stop for outside reasons, he got actively punished for not doing the thing the company kinda stopped him from doing after initially encouraging it.
