>>19898899Wasn't Cena working the Prototype gimmick before OVW? When you think about the Leviathan gimmick, Corny was tasked with getting over somebody who couldn't work, talk, and the only upside they had was their look. If anything Corny tried to accentuate what little positives Batista had at the time.
It's not like Vince did any better with the Deacon gimmick.
