Following his so-so run as TNA World Champion last year, which yielded some great mic work, but some genuinely dire matches (which is not to denigrate his wrestling skill - he was just always presented to fans as cowardly and inept), Magnus may well be on the WWEs radar at the time of writing. Magnus is young (28), looks like a million, erm, quid, and is genuinely improving all the time. Whilst not a technical standout, Magnus is actually far more proficient than most people realise and he drops a damn fine top rope elbow, one of the best in the world right now, in fact. He has charisma, mic skills and ambition, so hed be a natural fit for the WWE. We dont see any reason why our countryman Magnus couldnt go down a storm in the WWE, especially if he was marketed the right way. A program with fellow Brit Bad News Barrett would pretty much write itself.
I am a professional author and lifelong comic books/pro wrestling fan. I also work as a journalist as well as writing comic books (I also draw), screenplays, stage plays, songs and prose fiction.
I don't generally read or reply to comments here on What Culture (too many trolls!), but if you follow my Twitter (@heyquicksilver), I'll talk to you all day long!
If you are interested in reading more of my stuff, you can find it on http://quicksilverstories.weebly.com/ (my personal site, which has other wrestling/comics/pop culture stuff on it).
I also write for FLiCK http://www.flickonline.co.uk/flicktion, which is the best place to read my fiction work.
Oh yeah - I'm about to become a Dad for the first time, so if my stuff seems more sentimental than usual - blame it on that!
Finally, I sincerely appreciate every single read I get. So if you're reading this, thank you, you've made me feel like Shakespeare for a day! (see what I mean?)
