Damien DeMento

[3.0] "Guy had an interesting look and could do the basics in the ring, but he never got any momentum or did anything memorable. Many of his matches were unremarkable and using the knee drop as a finisher was unremarkable when even at that time others would do that regularly as a transition move. Made a decent heel but nothing special"

[0.0] "Completely forgettable gimmick and awful in-ring ability, I'm not surprised this guy failed. Crazy that he main evented the first episode of RAW and went nowhere from there. Also decided to checkout his promos from 2007/08 as mentioned below, but they came across purely edgy, doing nothing for me."

[3.0] "Another crappy WWF gimmick from the New Generation era. Didn't do much of anything from what I remember."

[2.0] "I remember seeing pictures of "Mondo Kleen" in Apter mags and was all "Whoa! " at his appearance. Color me intrigued. Then the WWF picked him up, renamed him Damien Demento and "Then the bell rang" as some may say."

[8.0] "This will sound insane, here me out right now. Forget his wrestling career and his in ring stuff and everything, look on YouTube for videos from 2007 and 2008 on damiandemento2. It's a channel full of promos 14 years after his "peak" with Raw, these promos actually seriously some of the best promos I have ever seen in my entire life. I have been watching wrestling for 15 years since I was a kid, I have been OBSESSIVE over it the whole time, and I do not think I have heard any better and any more convincing than Damian Demento talking to the camera. I do not care if his topics are dumb stuff like "the marks are saying mean things about me online >:(((", just pay attention to how he says everything and how he emotes while talking. The video "VINCE WHAT ARE YOU DOING" is a great example of how utterly unhinged he can be in promos, most people go for real smooth promos and cool lines and no weird pauses to breath or anything, but this is the complete opposite. He sounds like a TV show villain on a major show, the nose thing that he keeps on focusing on is probably an insider thing that I just don't know about, but the way he gets back onto that topic over and over and just how truly unhinged he presents himself to be. The pausing and repeating and every thing that you don't see from a clean promo that you'd typically see on TV is on that promo and he manages to make it so convincing and ACTUALLY enthralling. He did a Hannibal TV promo 12 years AFTER these YouTube promos where even in this brief instance, for just one minute, he manages to LOOK so interesting just like he did in the former promos, but he holds that same exact unhinged attitude. I would genuinely put him above people like Cornette and Heyman for non-wrestlers and amazing promos, these are tiny instances of what he can do JUST with him and his camera, and it all just presents as amazing. I wish the Internet was bigger when this was coming around, he could have EASILY gotten a job somewhere had it been bigger and he stayed around."

[5.0] "Damien Demento was a big man with ok wrestling skills. He had good agility for his size and played the gimmick well. Main evented the first Raw with The Undertaker. He was also good as a heel and I always found him good."

[2.0] "This person was in the main event of the very first episode of Monday Night Raw against the Undertaker and this fact has always surprised me. DeMento was nothing more than a jobber who was never positioned as anything more than a semi-scary freak."

[0.0] "Terrible wrestler! Never excited me. His best match was losing to the Undertaker on the first Monday Night Raw. His career was very short. Checkout his youtube videos he just rants and complains about life."

[2.0] "Very boring, plodding in-ring work. Could only do the basics and if I recall right his finisher was a knee drop. Gets 2 points for giving his all to the character though."
