Rep Power: 89   | Simon Dean Personally I enjoy his segments each week...I laughed my ass off when he dumped that orange stuff on the fat lady. I'm just wondering what there going to have him do in the ring, moves, etc. | |

Rep Power: 17  | The gimmick has been done to death. It wouldn't be so bad if they put a twist on it, but he's basically the 2004 version of Skip. When he finally gets in the ring and wrestles on television, I'll be interested to see his moves. Specifically, if he uses a the 'Nova' style or not. | |

Rep Power: 112 | I've enjoyed all of his skits so far, but then I got into wrestling in '97 so I've never been subjected to the Body Donna's. | |

Rep Power: 6 | Mid-card character at best. I've been impressed with Mike Bucci's charisma, since he's rather quiet and reserved when the cameras are off. But over-the-top wrestling gimmicks aren't meant for wrestling in 2004, which is why MMA has become so huge over the last few years (well, at least one of the reasons why). WWE may try to push Simon Dean to the main events eventually, but just because he might get there doesn't mean he'll be successful there. Mike Bucci is a good worker, but the gimmick just doesn't work as anything but a mid-card attraction. |

Rep Power: 113 gXboxLive Position: 57th | Why couldnt they just give him the Nova character? Correct em if I am wrong but wasnt Novas gimmick stealing everyone elses moves? I dig that. | |

Rep Power: 5 | Simon Dean is entertaining. Thats it. I think it's funny too, even though i have seen it before. Jimmy do you really think they want this character to be anything more than a mid-carder? If they do, WWE really doesnt understand its audience! It's comic releif much like one of my favorites, the Hurricane. |

Rep Power: 6 | I think that they wouldn't devote valuable live airtime to the character if they didn't see something in it that we all don't necessarily see. Short vignettes or matches would be enough for a mid-carder, in my opinion. But they've been giving the character live in-ring segments and devoting at least half of a quarter hour time block to it. |
