Wrestlezone’s Top 10: Forgettable Superstars of the Decade

May 2, 2013

Number 3: Simon Dean

Spring 2005-August 2007

How about this: Simon Dean’s first match in OVW (he wrestled as Nova) was a victory for the World Championship over The Prototype, AKA John Cena. Dean, who debuted this specific character on Smackdown in 2005, would have his “Simon System.” He was a health fitness guru who tried to get the crowd behind him as a heel character. Dean would make a very small impact when he tag teamed with Tough Enough winner Maven. Throughout his time in WWE, Dean would become Hollywood Nova for ECW’s One Night Stand, which was a member of the BWO. He simply was terrible and a character that never got over. He could wrestle, somewhat, but had no character or charisma.
