I think by many he is overated. He fits well in a **** Division and can have some solid matches, but he is a poor talker and I'd say he just doesn't have "It", heck even TNA has run out of ideas for what to do with him, he could have been used better but was never good enough to get past midcard in a MAJOR promotion.
I disagree with the last part. I don't see him as a champion really but a bloody tough competitor. On the ECW brand he could be champion with a mouthpiece. He was hampered majorly by having to dull down his moves and the non-Extreme rules environment.
