Just read on rajah.com that WWE has decided to drop his character altogether due to all the negative feedback he's generated.

Is this too rash a response by WWE? I think so.

Rash? I don't know. I guess the character generated some pretty good heat, but as with all things for wwe I'm sure it came down to a business decision and that the negative press wasn't worth however they benefetted from the character.

I read they were just gonna move him to RAW... this all REALLY sucks because he was supposedly about to be the #1 contender with a title shot at Summerslam. AND I just traded Kane+Hurricane for him which will turn out to be the worst trade in history - I have gotten 7 points out of him!

Here's an idea - have Undertaker "kill" him and have him come back as Mark Magnus.

You certainly have to feel for Magnus (or whatever his real name is), who has done a credible job at working the character and agenda that was given to him by WWE.

That's the risk you run. He's quite talented, so hopefully they'll find an interesting way to keep him pertinent.
