Wrestling Obscurity: Simon Dean

I haven't done a WO in awhile. I must be running out of wrestlers (LOL). Let's talk about Simon Dean for a moment. Surely you remember Simon and his trademark Simon System. Maybe you remember him coming down to the ring on a segway, ok that part you can forget. But Simon's (Mike Bucci) character was mixture of Tony Little and Richard Simons. A fitness trainer who is better than everyone because he works out, takes care of his body and treats it like a temple unlike all the fat, out of shape slobs in the audience or watching on TV. Did that last sentence bore you? I got bored writing it. Maybe that's why the character didn't catch on. He was heel(obviously) but not a very good one, or not a very intresting one.
Before he was in WWE, Bucci was in ECW as Nova(cool name). Bucci has "retired" from pro wrestling, but he has done matches on the indy circuit and TNA.
