The death of a giant.

Huge met his untimely end at UCBW ReVengeance weekend before last. For the past nine months or so, he did his job, got some people over, and helped anchor the heel roster. But I was never really into the character — it was a genesis by committee, and there wasn’t enough of myself in it for it to be much fun. Plus, my slightly postmodern “he’s a heel simply because he’s a giant” never quite got over in that over-the-top environment. So we killed him off real good.

I’m not sure if I’m going to jump right back in the show with a new character. It would probably be more than a little conspicuous for me to come roaring back in a new costume, even though that’s part of the fun. They’ve got a lot of new blood at the moment, so I’ll be able to take a break and pick my spot for a comeback. Next time, with entrance music by Duran Duran.

By special request, though, I’m keeping the singlet in my wardrobe.

    Your next heel should be some sort of enormous queen with a name like “Lady of the Jake” or “Allura Fantastica” or “The Feminizer.”

    I’m looking for a character that’s MORE like myself.

    Proposed monster heel with whom you have something in common: “The Man of 1000 Scott Jenningses”

    You could by turns be under-the-bed pervert Scott Jennings, the US Attorney scandal White House appointee Scott Jennings, your old Google nemesis Scott Jennings the video game designer, sound engineer who’s been nominated for two daytime Emmys Scott Jennings, American artist William Scott Jennings (who also is known as, you guessed it, Scott Jennings), Dr. Scott Jennings the urologist from Colorado Springs, the Scott Jennings for whom the Scott Jennings Memorial Kids Fishing Contest is named, and many more. I found all of these in the first three pages of google results. You could almost certainly find 992 more to round out the conceit.
