Dean Heil (very happy to be the first to mention)

I like Dean Heil but hated watching his matches.  I'm betting you will be his only mention.

Was on his way to be a 3 time champ and 4 time AA but they nerfed him by changing the rules. Missed out on his 3rd natty by barely losing to Yianni. Then lost the chance to be a 4 time AA by getting pinned by Chad Red.

[Gene Mills Fan]

Drake Ayala   I love when Drake is living on opponents legs.  But I like the Fargo Drake way more with that wicked dump in his package; he's stuck on too much head hands some matches
