9 Great WWE Storylines That Were Dropped Way Too Quickly
9. Mordecai Questions Eddie Guerrero's Morality
Mordecai will forever be regarded as somewhat of a failure from WWE themselves, more so than the man behind the gimmick, Kevin Fertig. Plying his trade in the old developmental stomping ground for the company, Ohio Valley Wrestling, Fertig was doing just fine before the main roster creative team had their wicked way with him.
Called up from developmental in the Spring of 2004, Fertig was transformed into Mordecai, a preaching white-knight of a character that owed more than just a little bit to that of The Undertaker. In fact, Mordecai was pretty much like a lighter version of the infamous 'Deadman', and it seemed only a matter of time before they'd lock horns.
It seems that this was the plan, but there was only one problem, WWE management weren't too hot on Fertig's in-ring skills. Surely, this begs the question why he was called up if they didn't think he was ready? Before 'Taker, Mordecai was set to feud with Eddie Guerrero, and actually cut several promos lambasting the Latino star's cheating ways. It was not to be however, Mordecai was canned after only a few months, making the whole exercise largely pointless.
