The post-Invasion WWE was a strange place due to a bizarre mix of veterans, super-workers, company icons and new blood dotted throughout the cards. The balance wasn't quite right, nor was the booking, which was at its lowest ebb since the mid-'90s. One such confused character was that of former policeman and handy fighter Rico Constantino, who was repackaged as an effeminate stylist. Unsurprisingly, he didn't get over, and his role in the 2004 Rumble was fodder for rapidly rising star Randy Orton. Later in the year Orton became the youngest WWE World Champion in history, while Rico received his Future Endeavours.
