Outlook - Rich Young could become the first (and possibly only) former XFL player to become a WWE superstar. After a strong college football career, Young spent over five years bouncing around professional football leagues. He did come close to the NFL, but had better luck playing in Canada, the Arena League and the short-lived XFL. Young tried his hand at pro-wrestling and transformed into Atlas DaBone in OVW. What the "Master of the Boneyard Boogie" lacked in experience and technical ability, he made up for in uniqueness. Sporting a large mop of hair, distinctive ink and a thick gold chain, Atlas DaBone quickly moved up the OVW ladder. DaBone has this air of being charismatic and that comes across during his matches, but he seems awkward doing promos. As he enters his sophomore year, Atlas DaBone is aiming to get into the WWE on a regular basis. He needs much more ring time to become even a passable worker, but at this point his personality is a huge plus that cannot be ignored.
