Saw just right now, that it was at the time of FCW when he was there. I thought it was a few years earlier. Still you're right.

Yes. At another time it and maybe even earlier, when NXT was FCW, it could had been a bigger success. Would be nice if he would come back to Impact for a last long run.

Hard to say if the gimmick had legs as it seems like there were some behind the scenes issues, but I’m guessing the carny schtick wasn’t going to lead to anything on Smackdown back then. If he came up through the modern NXT, I bet he would have caught on at least there.

Definitely works on a smaller stage, as he’s still doing his thing.

Such a wasted and underrated gimmick. I'm pretty sure Sinn Bodhi could make this work great.

Swizeet.
