Rage won the hardcore title in his first match. In his second, he lost it. Rage has the potential to be a big star in the WHW if he is focused on the right spot. He was released by the WHW in the spring of 2001, but came back in the fall 2001, and proved that he has a right to be wrestling here. Rage is very close to being a superstar here, and if he gets his priorities straight, he could be seeing world title gold very soon.
