Shane Thorne is an incredibly talented wrestler who kind of lost his way once his tag partner, Nick Miller (not from New Girl), now Mikey Nicholls, left the company to move back to Australia. He went from one half of a promising tag team to being treated as singles enhancement talent as creative didn't have anything for him. It didn't mean he was any less talented, but he was just kind of passing time.
So it's great that he found his way onto Raw as his talent can be appreciated. Still, his Retribution name is Slapjack, and I immediately want to call him Slapdick every time I think about his name. Once I get to slapdick, I think of Slapnuts, so then I'm thinking Jeff Jarrett in WCW, which then makes me think of Vince Russo becoming World Champion, which is definitely the most egregious world championship in professional wrestling history.
Wait, what were we talking about?
Oh, yes, Shane "Slapdick" Thorne. All we can really hope for right now is that Retribution has some direction now that Mustafa Ali has joined them. I think he would be an ideal fit in the tag division, especially since two of his Retribution cohorts are very large human beings where he could carry most of the match before Mace comes in and cleans house as an overwhelming monster.
Oh, and get rid of that stupid ass mask.
