It was entertaining, and so were moments of The Spirit Squad. And Nick Dinsmore was never going to be pushed as a wrestler, so adjusting and playing the mentally challenged boy prolonged his main roster tenure too. It's just a shame that it was like that. Why not use Rico as a serious babyface and try to do something like WCW did with DDP or WWE is currently doing with AJ Styles? Not to say that it would have worked on either of those levels, but I doubt you would assert that he had to be a silly act while he was there either. Daniel Bryan could have been great as "Bryan the IT Guy" too. It's just fortunate we didn't get that.
