This is pretty cool ... I admire the fact the he states that his five-year goal is to be IC champ instead of World champ. If he's remotely good in the ring, this guy gets a good push ...
As best as I can remember he wasn't that good in ECW. He did have a flaming table tag team match one time with Balls Mahoney v Da Baldies and at the time I thought it was pretty cool. I would be really surprised if he isn't on Raw or Smackdown doing a patriotic gimmick by the summer. Good Luck to him as it is a really good story.
He might make a *good* Craig 'Pitbull' Pittman. I guess the WWE is a little short on the flag waving guys right now, so why not. If they're lucky he might get as over as Jim Duggan.
... of course if he doesn't get the flag waving gimmick, you have a poor man's D-Von Dudley.
Wuh oh. If he's called up to the main roster, watch out for an 80's style feud featuring him against Mohammad Hassan. If that character lasts more than a month or two.
Something that leftists are going to have to learn is that telling me I’m stupid, a racist, a bigot, or whatever else you may come up with is going to result in exactly one thing; further marginalizing you as a political power in America. What you need is me as your ally. Your inside man. Someone who will fight you on a lot of issues, but will also fight for you on others. Why?
Because I am the Republican Party. And right now, we control the game. If you want to play, you need to re-think this idea that throwing tantrums will get you on the field.
Is Chilly Willy the guy whose gimmick was that he was always introduced as "hailing from (insert hometown)"?
This was even a cheaper pop than Foley used to do simply by announcing how the fans of (hometown) deserved to see something good, or the Rock's "Finally the Rock has come back to ... (hometown)" I hope he gets to uses it, but only if he isn't always OVW...
I'll agree he's got a good enough story, I hope he does well. I think he'll be able to pop the crowd, but I fear he'll look tiny compared to the rest of the roster..

Yep, that's the guy. It was a fun little gimmick for a curtain-jerker (which is primarily what he was used as in ECW), but not for a regular on the WWE roster (even though they did something similar with Brian "Spanky" Kendrick when he was working dark matches). Hell, they have enough one-note joke gimmicks in that promotion as it is.
I was never terribly impressed with his in-ring stuff during his ECW tenure (I'd go so far to say that he had a very bland in-ring style), but that was years ago. It's certainly a possibility he's improved since then.

Wait... Aren't those Chilly Dudley and Mean Mark Dudley?
Seriously though, speaking as someone who was adopted, my nieces and nephews look nothing like me. (Not that I have ever heard these two are related, but you can't just go on looks).
It's a dog eat dog world and I'm wearing milkbone undershorts.
I wonder how they'll top this signing. The only guy I know more bland than Chilly Willy is Rusty Brooks. I would have said Michael Cole, but they already have him.

They also did this with Kendrick when he was on Velocity starting out. Yup back when I watched Velocity... Norman Smiley had a gimmick like that also in WCW when he came out with local team jersey's and even dressed up as the local team mascot.
smark/net attack wienerville advisory holds at ORANGE alert - High (JBL is STILL WWE champion and now smarks arch enemy HHH is the World Champion. Major red threat, but the undercard seems okay. The alert holds... for now)- 9/19

Same deal with Cena, too, pre-Halloween character change. His trunks were always the colors of (insert local team here).

What about CW Anderson? He's quite bland. Hell, they could resign Barry Horowitz!
...well, I'd probably mark out for Barry Horowitz coming out on RAW.

Bah, if you want well-thought-out storylines, watch TNA. ...wait, nevermind. As to why Bryan's so high up in NXT without winning a single match, I couldn't begin to tell you. For that matter it blows my mind that he's still winless.
