| Viva la Nitro
I actually really dig the Johnny Nitro gimmick. The name is a clever move, and the black clothing makes Hennigan look quite a bit like The Adventures of Young Uncle Eric. Hennigan's still stiff on the mic and his character is a bit cliche'- yea and he is a cocky young heel with long hair. I think he should work on actually EMULATING Eric Bischoff-- try to capture what makes Eric, well, Eric in his promos and mannerisms. Because face it, Eric Bischoff is one of the greatest heels in wrestling history. If Nitro can get that kind of heat, he's golden.
As far as in-ring work goes, I hear Johnny was a natural at OVW. When it's time for him to hit the ring, I'm sure he'll deliver as best as a rookie can.
And TE3 was in early 2003, I'm pretty sure, so it ain't been that long.
I sure miss me some Maven, though. |
