Outlook - Simon Diamond is one of the strong talents running on the indies, who has all the ability to be a quality midcarder and perhaps more. A now veteran, Simon is getting a lot of breaks due to his ECW stint. His run there was relatively mediocre, but he showed a great deal of potential and he was going into his thirties. Since then he's been here and there and seems like someone who really should be doing more of note than he is. Diamond is good on the mic, decent in the ring, has a good look, but the WWE apparently has no interest in someone like him. Certainly he's getting up there for a fresh face, but Simon Diamond's career doesn't seem to have an apparent ending in sight. He and wife Dawn Marie have a variety of ability and while neither has lived up to their potential yet, both have been clearly seen in the wrong light and not used in a manner befitting them. He's still a person to watch out for because he could get called up in an instant.
