Remembered by WWE fans as Kassius Ohno from NXT, Chris Hero is also very well known to fans of American independent wrestling as a unique and innovative talent. His tenure with the WWE ended far too prematurely and quite frankly, they never should have let him go. Heros ability to portray any number of characters, as well as his formidable wrestling talents mark him out as an excellent addition to any wrestling roster and he seems tailor made for the WWE product, circa 2015. In addition to being Cesaros former tag team partner (which sets up any number of storylines involving The Swiss Superman), Hero could be the latest in a long line of indie talent to achieve success in WWE (see also Daniel Bryan, CM Punk, Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose and others). WWE could (and should) be making use of an athlete as talented and charismatic as Chris Hero.
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?)
Latcho Drom,
