I've read through this thread and a lot of people seem to think he's injured. If he is, then it's yet another recent thing, because to my knowledge he's been wrestling on Smackdown for about two months or so, since his return. He just looked awkward and not like his old self.
I contest a lot of this with the lack of a Cruiserweight division. Helms is only a great wrestler when he's competing in a division with other smaller guys. He can wrestle with bigger guys, such as Jericho, Edge, and Christian.. but when it comes to guys like Taker, Kane, Finlay, or others that are of a different style.. he looks bad, out of place, and awkward.
I was begging for Helms to return to E.C.W to feud with Matt Hardy (again). Now he moves there, and Matt turns heel and moves to Raw. Nice.
I think this backstage interviewer gig will work in transition to a possible return of the Hurricane. With the stupid "Clark Kent/Superman" (everyone knows it's you, but you wanna play it's not) routine. Either way, until Helms is fully recovered, healed or what-have-you.. I'd rather he NOT wrestle anyways.
