The incredibly creepy and mysterious Superstar came to the main roster after WrestleMania 20. It all began with a series of disturbing vignettes shown on WWE TV. The character donned a religious zealot-type outfit and was immediately pushed as a heel, defeating Superstars like Scotty 2 Hotty and Hardcore Holly. The original plan for Mordecai was to get pushed for months on end, with him finally taking on The Undertaker at WrestleMania 21. This rivalry could have done wonders to his career.

This didn't happen though, as Kevin Fertig got into a bar fight. The news soon reached Vince McMahon's ears and he wasn't thrilled with Fertig's behavior in the least. McMahon immediately canceled his push and Mordecai abruptly disappeared from WWE TV. Fertig was sent back to Ohio Valley Wrestling and wrestled in the promotion for a while before he was released from WWE the next year.
