Much like Kane, Abyss isn’t where he was in his monstrous prime, but he’s still a solid addition to his roster. Also, like The Big Red Machine, he's effectively switched up his character over the years to stay relevant (where you at Joseph Park?).

In the ring, he still has the same power that he's had for years, and he continues to move well for someone of his age/size.

Abyss isn’t used in the main-event scene anymore in singles matches, so it’s a bit hard to tell how well he would hold up in lengthy battle on his own, but the company has done a good job of mixing up his act and protecting him in a tag team with Crazzy Steve.

Abyss may not have Kane-like longevity, in that we’ll be watching him wrestle as he turns 50, but it would be surprising if he hung up the mask before 45.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
