Dumping Ariel?

Just because he won't be asking her to read his future any more does not imply that he still wont accept her interferance in his matches. The promo led me to beleive that he will be looking for a tag team partner ("my future is with fresh blood.") more than it did that he and Ariel were splitting up.

Correction: Martinez was in Fertig's corner during his match with Nunzio on 5/15/07. It was Fertig's match on 5/22 against Wyatt Lara that was his first without her. Genis vel 03:13, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thorne or Thorn?

I've seen many references (including this article) to him as "Kevin Thorne", however ecw.com has him listed as "Kevin Thorn" 172.149.81.233 16:32, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Website

kevin_thorn.net Graduated from Altha High School in Altha, Fla. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.18.91.64 (talk) 20:19, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kevin most certainly did not graduate from Altha High School. I played football with him. And you quote me on that or my name isn't Sean W. Lyons. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.84.39.218 (talk) 17:54, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Music

What music does he and Ariel come out to? LK Thurisaz 13:12, 9 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently it's called "Mi Destrojero" and it's written by WWE composer James Johnston. I beleive Johnston wrote it a while ago and had used it unnamed as a local TV station in Grand Rapids, MI (WXSP) has used it to advertise local Red Wings broadcast games for the last four or five years.

Vampire?

This page is in the vampire category, but where is the evidence that he is a real life follower of vampirism? Him being a vampire is simply a Kayfabe gimmick.

I checked the Vampire category and it doesn't have anything to do with people who practise "vampirism". But anyway, I changed it to a more suitible category. ^---SilentRAGE! 04:47, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I would aslo like to chime in on this. I don't beleive that Fertig's gimmick is that of a "real" vampire like Vampiro or Gangrel, but that of a person who lives a vampire lifestyle. I feel a distinction between the two gimmicks should be made. Genis vel

His character is not a "follower of vampirism" any more than CM Punk is a "follower of the Straight Edge lifestyle". CM Punk IS Straight Edge(arguably), "Kevin Thorn" is a "Vampire". There is no "following" of anything, there is only doing. These phrases are weasel wording on the part of Joey Styles which cheapen the life choices of the person or persons in question. Using the "follower of" designation would be the same as calling Joey Styles a "follower of the color commentator lifestyle". 04:19, 21 July 15, 2007

Joey is the play by play guy actually, lol.

Any way I do agree though, it should be included in the category. The 'follower of' designation wouldn't explain his 'fangs' he wears during his matches...

... that being said this all may be irrelivent as Kevin Thorn returned to ECW last night with a new appearance and gimmick, seemingly all references, mentions of and physical traits representing vampirism are now gone, including the fans colour contacts, etc. and Joey and tazz didn't mention the vampire thing at all, simply stating he was 'tough' and 'mean'. Take it for what it's worth.

Hints at starting a new stable.

On May 11, 2007 ECW.com put a new poll up asking fans if Thorn should form his own "group" or not. Genis vel

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Kevin Fertig/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Reviewer: Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 02:46, 16 June 2010 (UTC) Overall this is a good article, however I found a couple issues:[reply]

"Thorn attacked Richards backstage,and went on to defeat him in a match, although the decision was reversed was Thorn attacked Richards after the match" hm? something doesn't sound right there.
- Reworded. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 13:52, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
"In January 2009, he was offered a new contract with WWE, but turned it down, and on January 9 WWE announced that he had been released from contract by request, although his contract didn't technically end until April 5." It sounds in the earlier part of the paragraph that he was gone from WWE.
- Reworded. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 13:52, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'll put the article on hold and pass when they're fixed. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 02:46, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review, and sorry for the delay in responding, but I'm in the middle of exams atm. I think I've gotten your concerns. ♥Nici♥Vampire♥Heart♥ 13:52, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good now, so I'll pass the article. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 15:34, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was moved. --BDD (talk) 22:21, 17 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Kevin Fertig → Kevin Thorn – Per WP:COMMONNAME. I know he was also Mordecai, but Kevin Thorn lasted a lot longer and is much better remembered. GeicoHen (talk) 01:45, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

~~Oppose~~ Thorn lasted a bit longer, but was mainly confined to ECW, while Mordecai had fairly heavy pre-debut hype before his SmackDown run. Considering Mordecai's stranger appearance and promos, it's probably fair to assume people still remember that. Thorn was just a dime-a-dozen vampire. Fertig works as a balance. InedibleHulk (talk) 12:20, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support after realizing he'd used the Thorn name a lot elsewhere. InedibleHulk (talk) 12:24, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support As Thorn, he was in New Breed and had a match in WM. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 12:30, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support. McPhail (talk) 17:32, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
