So, if we're not a news site, why am I posting this? Well, I've been a fan of Lenny since his jobbing days. He's got good skills for a newcomer and no matter what the outcome of his matches is, he (and Lodi as well) always manage to put on a good show in both the wrestling and entertainment sense. It's kind of a blow to hear about up-and-coming talent getting buried for no reason whatsoever, be it true or a work, especially when they're employed in a promotion that is a distant second place.
But, I always thought those Rick Steiner punch-and-kick restfests on Nitro were more entertaining anyway.*
