The gimmick will be key. If they make Bull into another 80's type character to team with Cena, he could be entertaining. Otherwise, people won't care and it could end up hurting Cena.
Ahh Bull ... from the Big Bossman's correctional officer flunkie friend, to Steven Richards's RTC worshipper flunkie, to John Cena's "Boy" (flunkie) ... quite a career path!
"Pool-Boy"
Well- my ass still hurts, but lets see what happens this week...
If Rikishi has taught us nothing else-and he hasn't-it's that big talentless slugs should always try and get over by revealing a quirky trait they possess (Rikishi-dancing, Albert-being freakishly hairy, Brock-being a clone of Ivan Drago). Hence, Bull should reveal his quirky trait. Perhaps he can play the panpipes.
All joking aside, I really like Bull, mainly coz he's shown some variation outside of "kick/punch/power finisher". His top rope axe kick owns your booty, and his rarely-busted-out huracanrana is a sight to behold.

Maybe make them a tribute to Hall & Oates? Or not...Bill & Ted would be better.

Mark my words... Cena is Vanilla Ice, Bull Buchannon will be... wait for it... Donnie Wahlberg. He's got the crappy hat already. Now they need him to set fire to the locker room or a couple of hotel sets.

Bull should just keep referring to where he's been all this time. He should keep saying that he's been off working as Justin Timberlake's bodyguard. He should bring it up for no apparent reason. Cena and Bull get a shot at the Guerreros for the tag-titles.
Bull: This reminds me of when I was Justin Timberlake's bodyguard. Cena:...Why? Bull: I dunno...It just does.
That would make him a MEGA-HEEL.

Or turn in an amazingly good performance in the next Tom-Hanks-produced mini-series.
Band of Brothers OWNS you.
Joking aside, the mere fact that Bull is back delights me to no end. He was saddled with some awful gimmicks, but he's always been a solid worker, especially for a big man, and I've nothing but rave reviews for his work in OVW. If he's in a good gimmick, cool. If not, it'll be cool to MSTie the gimmick while enjoying his matches.
I find this thread somewhat refreshing. I was thinking that I was the only person who didn't flat out curse every time he made an appearance. I kept hoping that he'd finally get some thing to do, but everything (I have what was probably the only tag team appearance of Armageddon on one of my tapes) he has died a quick, heatless death.
And yes, his top-rope rana is incredible. Hopefully, since he's more likely to be paired with workers, he'll be able to bust it out regularly.
You know, when he and the Goodfather held the Tag Titles in the RTC, that was cool.
Then the RTC died.
Big man/Small man combos are my favorite tag team archtypes, so I'm entusiastic about Bull and Cena. Plus, Bull's leg drops are the most fantastic looking things ever. All the man needs now is some powerbomb variant and a bad assed gimmick, and we have the greatest big man ever.
In the name of good taste, I will no longer say anything about people who run wrestling websites and cats.
It was done to emphasize something, but it sure wasn't her vanity. I doubt if any WWE performer would go to such lengths to emphasize a character. "Hey Molly, would you mind having some reverse liposuction surgery done on your ass?
