Wrestlezone’s Top 10: Forgettable Superstars of the Decade

May 2, 2013

Number 10: Kevin Thorn

June 2006- November 2007

Kevin Fertig, trying out many gimmicks in WWE, debuted a vampire gimmick for ECW in the summer of 2006. He was escorted by Shelly Martinez, Ariel in ECW, and had many vignettes leading up to his debut. The debut was lackluster, with a gimmick that was about 2-3 years too soon. How good were his feuds? He was in feuds with Little Guido, Balls Mahoney, Mike Knox, Stevie Ricards, and Tommy Dreamer. He was sinking very fast after Ariel was released from WWE. He did not speak, did not have much to offer in the ring, and really tried to make it work. He did not succeed and would continue to work dark matches. He joined the New Breed and aligned himself with the new faces of ECW. By November of 2007, WWE lost all interest in a character they put so much stock and effort into. Fertig just never got over and it is ashame. He had some good midcard talent, but could never find a gimmick that could last longer than a few months.

Josh controls most of the creative writing and ideas for the show on a weekly basis, as well as an on-air talent.

Aside from working with WrestleZone, Isenberg began his career in Broadcast Journalism interning at ESPN and worked with CBS Radio for three years. He has also had the opportunity to interview some of the best athletes and performers alive, including Andrew McCutchen, Ben Roethlisberger, Chris Jericho, Billy Gunn, Karl Anderson, Matt Hardy, Steven Strasburg and others.

Currently, Josh Isenberg works for Major League Baseball in their Advanced Media Productions. He grew up in Pittsburgh and went to Point Park University, which is where Chair Shot Reality is filmed each week.

His life outside of his obsession with wrestling include being a savant for Seinfeld, NFL, NBA, MLB and many television shows. He also has an undying love for musicals, which includes many shows he was a part of in high school. Some of his favorite wrestling moments can be linked to such superstars as Edge, The Rock, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels and The Great Khali.
