@Diabulus. I actually agree with that. A serious gimmick wasn't the best way they could have gone about doing this. In that sense he didnt develop enough in TDPI and could have become further normal.

@TVDF. Scott was a complete idiot in TDAS with nothing to offer to the game aside from getting hurt. Gimmicky as he may be, Shawn does have several skills and abilities that helped him further in the game.
