Regards Steve Corino

Does your lack of love for his ECW stuff come more because he was over pushed?
I only ask because I know you enjoyed Jericho's weasel antics during his WCW heel run (as did I) and I've always found Corino's ECW act to be in a similar vein, so I've always got a kick out of it as a result
Is it more that he was pushed too much or more that you just didn't think his heel act was entertaining?
He was overpushed and I didn't buy him as a top guy when his act in the ring was basically "bleed like Tommy Rich until Rhino helps him win". Early on, the whole circus of jobbers thing was an amazing sideshow for ECW, but once he got the "We have no one else to push" push, it was too much. Really, they should have just made Tajiri into the guy, or ran with Jerry Lynn longer.
