Amazing. He's had his lean years in terms of matches (and fat ones in terms of physique) but he's one of the few genuine stars WWE has left. He's the total package but he really needs to use his power to help put over the next generation rather than basking in the spotlight himself.

Michael Ikoli is all smiles in December 2009 upon his release from jail after five years and his acquittal on murder charges...
A man who spent five years behind bars before being acquitted of murder was shot to death in the Bronx, police said.
Michael Ikoli, 24, was sprung from jail after being cleared of killing a man outside a roller skating rink six years ago. The Daily News - in a 2009 report about the backlog of felony cases in the Bronx courts - revealed that he had been sitting in jail for five years awaiting trial.
After the story appeared, Ikoli's trial was put on the fast track and he was acquitted later that year.
Just before 10 p.m. Tuesday, he was shot four times at E. 188th St. and Webster Ave. He was rushed to St. Barnabas Hospital where he died. No one has been arrested.
Police sources said Ikoli was a member of the Bloods street gang.
