I've never really heard much about him and the one time he did he came across as a surfer when he teamed with yoshi tatsu
But the dreadlocks and beard give him a caveman look, and yes I know cavemen probably didnt have dreadlocks
furthermore the name recks, sounds like the end of a dinasour furthering the caveman image

His gimmick is Mike Knox 2.0 but I'm still not sure what Mike Knox's gimmick was

Don't know what the gimmick is if he's a monster he's not coming across as a very good one. I mean I do like the guy, I think he looks potentially like he could do some business but what the hell WWE think they're doing with him I don't know

I think he's supposed to be a casting reject from Pirates of the Caribbean.

Pirates of the Carribean Surfer's Ghost?

As much as I hate it, I don't really see that much potential in him.

If he can't even be a blip on the radar on Superstars, then I don't know if there's much hope for him.

I think his gimmick is a monster heel that doesn't really talk much, he lets his actions speak in the ring. This gimmick is similar to Mike Knox's gimmick.

Absolutely PERFECT!

I totally agree with all of you. Though, there is something about the guy. I remember when Christian won his IC title and showed up with a new haircut and what have you. Tyler could make a name by being a monster and go forward by selling out and cleaning up. Could happen.

He's gone the "clean" route already.

He sucked.

Look what Mike Knox accomplished in his career:

* He dominated jobbers, and low-midcard talent in WWECW
* He became a contender, along with others on Smackdown, for the world title(correct me if I'm wrong)
* He got fired

Well, Reks has done #1 already.

The best I can see Reks do is have a small feud with Kane if he ever turns face.

1)actually i'm pretty sure cavemen did have locks considering when you don't bother you're hair by combing or washing that's what happens and 2) i don't think he has a gimmick (which sucks cause he's really talented and has a great and unique look) they've always just reffered to him as a mystery

Regardless of appearance , has anyone ever spotted the next superstar before they broke out? ^ never saw one of the Hart Foundation or Rockers becoming legends. JOHNNY Nitro........really? Cena, Punk etc. I'm just saying you never know who is going to do what. Personally I like his look. Matches his build and style. Mike Knox tried to be Bruiser Brody. Tyler is just doing whats natural to him IMO

Exactly. Who would've ever thought Rocky Miavia aka the great one becoming an icon in the WWE. If you told me that in 1996, I would've laughed in your face.

Absolutely PERFECT!

He needs to be more specific and deliberate. Monsters tend to become HHH. Same 5 moves because the character is set in a pre boxed style. If hes smart he'll start calling spots for him during match to show off even if he loses. Like JoMo.

The whole idea of monsters is a bit cliche now! Kane is the WWE's monster and that is all!

I think it's more of a barbarian type thing than a caveman.

At one time around Bragging Rights, I created a thread praising this guy basically. Now Im not so sure what to think of Reks. Off & on winning & losing to Chris Masters on SuperStars for months is not exactly memorable or very marketable. Barbarian if anything, seems to be his gimmick.

I think his gimmick is that he's a jobber. Seems to play it quite well too lol

Well yeah but Zach Ryder is a jobber but he has a well defined gimmick.

I'm pretty sure that not knowing anything about him is his gimmick.

LMAO, bombaklottt bwoooooiii!! that would be hillarious if tyler reks ran with the jamaican accent, i remember they tried to push Kofi Kingston as a jamaican in the beginning too, i dont think he could pull off the accent so they ran with ghana after that lol(even though he's from boston)..

I remember that when Triple H asked him in the ring, 'Aren't you supposed to be Jamaican?'
