I'm not sure either. A friend of mine in college (the guy that breaks seeding ties for these tournaments) absolutely despised the guy and in turn convinced me to hate him.

Swear he was extremely outspoken during the Benoit saga too.
Wasn't sure If I'd be able to find it but here it is. An old JBL tweet about Mero
"If Johnny B Bad had sucked it would have been an improvement! Mero absolutely sucks as a wrestler and human being. Sorry to u fans of his.â€
Sorry, can’t describe in 140 characters why Mero is a POS. No one who knew him sticks up for him-that should tell u something.â€
JBL claiming someone else sucks is rich, Mero had far more talent than that Stan Hansen rip-off.
Thing is Scott, isn't it refreshing for someone like Mero to speak out against the industry and stick up for the talent? Point is at that point wrestling did have a lot of flaws in that department and Mero was one of the only ones to have guts to stand up to Vince and co.
I actually liked the TKO
Like I said, it's probably my favorite move ever, and it's always my finisher on the video games, just thought Mero had a real weak version to had innovated it.
