I had a chance to chat with independent wrestler Hayden Zenith from Down Under not long ago, and he spoke about Shane Thorne and what a wonderful, helpful, caring and supportive individual his fellow Aussie mate really is. Of course, you wouldn't think that if you happened to look at his on-screen persona because he's as mean as mean can be.
He would take on Bronson Reed in a match that went back and forth but ultimately ended with Thorne picking up the win. It is clear that WWE plans to push Thorne as a top heel in the black and gold brand in the months to come.

Could he be a top player when the brand goes to the USA Network? Could he excel in a singles role after what was a promising run with TM-61?
All questions will be answered over the coming weeks.
