RhYno

[Deleted]

Anybody else miss this guy?

He has such a unique look and was awesome and intense in the ring.

I just recently watched the new Edge blu-ray and they interview Rhyno quite a bit in there.

I miss seeing him around in WWE. Too bad he let his personal life get in the way.

Any chance we'll see him return?

Last I had saw him, he was tearing it up in ROH. I do miss his intensity and his version of the Spear on live TV though.

I had a thread not too long ago talking about Rhyon. I always thought he was a unique character who never really got used right after his neck injury. I loved him in 2001 as the intense hardcore guy, but they severly misused him from 2004-2005.

I always felt that Rhyno and Tajiri should have had a tag title reign. The matches they had with La Resistance on Raw were pretty good.

Rhino (the original spelling) was a a monster in ECW. "The Big F'N Deal" tore threw people like paper, women included. He was The Networks "chosen one" and won the title not long after his debut. His piledriver from the ring apron to the floor, threw a table, onto the Sandman's wife was devastating.

Nah, I can't say I miss Rhyno too much. I was never a fan of the guy really. I did enjoy his run in ECW though. Wasn't he called "The Rookie Monster" at some point?? I could swear he was...

I remember him tearing up the Hardcore Division during the Invasion period of 2001.

He was awesome, I liked the team of Angle, E&C and RhYno, that was pretty cool.
-I wish they gave him the IC Championship, than just the Hardcore and US.
-I would love to see him come back since he would make a great WHC, his ECW promos were really awesome too!
(I'm a fan )

[Chris Hammers]

He was really awesome in 2001. One of my favourite memories will always be him goring Jericho through the Ovaltron.

I liked Rhino too.always enjoyed his work and I still believe he could contribute.Vince needs guys that could be over as heels now more than ever.

You're correct on that one. Joey Styles dubbed him Steve Corino's 'Rookie Monster' shortly after his debut. And I think that was his moniker up until he climbed the ECW ranks as part of The Network.


For those wondering, Rhino was just on ROH last night, destroying some rookie. Apparently he's now part of the 'House of Truth'.

I had no idea he was in ROH.

Does Rhyno own the ECW and TV Championship since he was the last champion?

I think he owns the TV title, because during the ECW reboot in 2006, Rhino appeared on iMPACT! and did a promo saying that Vince wanted him & the belt for the new ECW; but Rhino declined.

Not sure about the world title, though.

He came in some time around 2011, as hired muscle for the Embassy. Then he left for whatever reason, and just returned last night.

Thanks for the info, it would of been awesome to see the TV Title in WWE plus Rhyno to return!

ryno in ecw was THE SHIT. wwe run was okay, but people just liked him for the gore...

And the piledriver off the apron to a table on the outside

Arguably the best Spear in wrestling. More believable than Edge's running hug (and I love Edge), but nowhere near as wreckless as Goldberg's.
