Ringside Review: WWE releasing O’Haire a strange move
The WWE released Sean O’Haire last week. That is a move I don’t understand.
Sean has all the tools to be a real superstar. He’s 6 foot, 6 inches tall and about 250 pounds of ripped muscle. He’s graceful in the ring, and has a look that just can’t miss.
O’Haire is a former professional boxer, who amassed an 11-0 record. He went 20-0 in professional kickboxing, and has black belts in karate, aikido, jung-fu and muary tai kickboxing. He’s got fire tattooed on his wrists.
Toss him into a group like Evolution, and you would have a big-time star. Or let him tag with Edge and get both over with the fans.
• What are the writers thinking? They have one of the best of the Ohio Valley’s stars in one of the worst storylines of all time. Nick Dinsmore made his “Raw” debut this week as “Eugene Dinsmore.”
Dinsmore is great in the ring, he doesn’t need to be put in the role of a slow-minded wrestler.
In 2004, Nick and Chris Benoit had what TSN.com called a “four-star match.” His nickname in the OVW was “Mr. Wrestling,” and he had an amazing feud with Doug Basham when both were in the OVW. This character has no place to go but down.
• Look for Chris Kanyon to show up on TNA in the next few weeks. His 90-day no-compete clause expires May 9.
• Have you noticed the recent trend of changing wrestlers’ home towns? Jericho is now from New York (where he was born), Benoit’s residence is now Atlanta, and La Resistance are now from Quebec.
• Bad luck for Edge. He gets back from a neck injury, then hurts his ankle. Two weeks after that’s healed, he broke those tiny bones in his hand.
• Rock’s movie didn’t do very good in its first weekend. “Walking Tall” took in $15 million, as opposed to “The Scorpion King,” which took in $36 million, but cost $60 million to make. “Walking Tall” cost an estimated $45 million to produce.
