I think they should throw him into big, tatooed, steroidy guy oblivion with Dave Bautista. Okay, that's really less of a thought and more of a fervent prayer.

Oh YEAH, that's what I was going to say! Jindrak looks okay, but Sean has that natural sinister vibe going for him.
Absolutely he's got the vibe & a good look -- no doubt. But I've got a couple of problems with putting him with Evolution. First, I like my eye-candy distributed across the week. If you herd them all up together, H would end up eclipsing Sean, & I couldn't pay adequate attention to either of them. Second, Sean needs a little more big-league experience, but I'm thinking he's pretty close to ready to be able to go solo. Orton's spot is a great opportunity for a baby, where he can get both exposure & support. I'm not especially interested in Sean being in an underling position to HHH, but he's not strongly enough established to be a peer. If Sean can indeed go on his own (or even with a more peer-level TT partner), that's better for him.
He worked the Toronto smackdown tapings. He acted the same way he's been acting. He also has "chick rock" entrance music that fits him about as well as Sherri's rendition of "Sexy Boy" would fit the new, maskless Kane.
"Whatever I just posted above is what your mother said in bed last night."
As long as they don't screw him over because he still has that build on him from where they brought him back. I mean it's a bit tarnished now since he played the Piper lacky but they could shake that if they put in back into the lime doing what he was doing before/is/and is still doing.
This is getting annoying now isn't it?
Banned Once! The independant thought alarm went off, knew to much about b*tching.
I thought it'd be neat for O'Haire to come out and take "credit" for getting Piper fired -- it'd fit in with that schemer gimmick they established for him and then forgot. But it looks like they won't do that. Oh well.
"next to of course god america i love you land of the pilgrims' and so forth oh say can you see by the dawn's early my country tis of centuries come and go and are no more what of it we should worry in every language even deafanddumb thy sons acclaim your glorious name by gorry by jingo by gee by gosh by gum why talk of beauty what could be more beaut- iful than these heroic happy dead who rushed like lions to the roaring slaughter they did not stop to think they died instead then shall the voice of liberty be mute?"
1) He's a former WCW guy 2) His original gimmick was so good that the writers weren't talented enough to extend it beyond vignettes 3) He didn't get over in his first two weeks, which under the WWE double standard (coughcoughRandyOrtoncoughcough) means that he'll be buried 4) Thanks to learning the 'WWE way,' his unique wrestling skill appears to have been muted down to that of the average hoss
Then again, O'Haire is still a big muscular guy, so he'll likely get another shot.

Ditto on all of that. What a build up for him to be used like this. Sad, Sad, Sad. Would be cool if Sean actually convinced Eddie that attacking Tajiri was ok, a good thing to do. They have been tagging at some house shows. Kind of bring back his original character.
January 4th 1999 - The day WCW injected itself with 10 gallons of Liquid Anthrax...AKA...The day Hogan "Defeated" Nash to win the WCW title in front of 40,000.
i think Jindrak is borrrrring. I think o'daire is borrrrring. Together again, they could do some damage. Putting either O'haire or Jindrak in evolution doesn't excite me too much.
I agree with whoever said they should have used Piper's firing to propel O'Haire. They did more-or-less the same thing with Steve Austin in '96. He said he lost to Savio as an excuse to dump DiBiase, and that started his run into KOTR. If O'Haire had come out the first week Piper-free and done a similar thing - they did have the tag title loss the week before to build on - it could have launched him, all the while playing off his initial "evil preacher" angle.
Oh well, better Velocity than Heat I suppose. And the new Waterproof Blonde song beats the Neurotica song, so I guess that's something...
I think it's time to take O'Haire away for `retooling'. Keep him off SmackDown, get him the hell away from Velocity (I mean, what the hell was he doing selling for that jobber anyways?) and wait for at least a couple of months.
Then you start running the "I'm not telling you anything you didn't already know" vignettes again. It can be the exact same ones as before; doesn't really matter.
After you've given him some prominent vignette time, I would suggest a minor feud with someone like Spanky. But this time -- no pointless angle with Hugh Morrus -- how about Spanky turns heel because O'Haire has convinced him to abandon his morals? Then he does it to someone else slightly higher on the roster (Mark Henry? I don't know, just throwing out names here) until he's got a little army of disciples.
THIS is where O'Haire could do the most damage, in my opinion. He's a great talker and has ``the look'' that Vince wants. His wrestling is so-so, but that's secondary. Sean O'Haire, ladies and gentlemen, has the potential to be Raven 2003.
How about having O'Haire get into Rhyno's head that Benoit is really against him and that Benoit is nothing but a jackass who all he cares about is himself and having the US title, he has no real ties to anyone. Even talk about how he broke Sabu's neck and didnt seem to really give a shit.
Then give him Paul London and sell Paul as a disciple of "The Society" who O'Haire handpicked? I would then have Tazz and Cole saying huh? whats the society? Then have Josh go try to interview O'Haire then him sell the society as something that you "lay men" do not understand and that if he ever mentions it again, he will disappear or something to that effect. Then end the conversation. I might even have O'Haire come out with a Hawk or some other imposing bird on his arm. That would be too sweet. No pyros, just a completely dark arena, with Rhyno and London carrying torches with O'Haire with this bird on him, with something along the lines of Gangrel's theme playing, Id almost consider just having them come down to the sound of a heart beating for the creepiness. Just picture that setting in your head. Are you telling me this guy couldnt be old school UT 21st century?
I saw Crowbar do a dark match before in Philly, I`m pretty sure it was the "return of the Rock" RAW during the Invasion. I remember him getting a good pop. Also, put me down as another Daffney fan.
