Outlook - Charlie Haas has had a tough rise to fame. After spending quite some time in the indies awaiting a break with his brother Russ. Then they finally got a developmental deal with the WWF and worked hard to get to the next level. Sadly, Russ Haas died of a heart ailment. Shortly, after Charlie tore his ACL and spent time on the shelf. Upon coming back, Haas worked hard to get back where he was and then some. When the WWE brought him up, they put him in a new tag team with another amateur-turned-pro, Shelton Benjamin. The team, aligned with Kurt Angle, grew into capable talents on the Paul Heyman-directed Smackdown. The team was split up prematurely, Haas got lost in the shuffle and was suddenly and shockingly let go along with his wife Jackie Gayda. After some globetrotting, Haas was resigned and largely put back in the same role. He is coming along as a worker, but is lacking in the entertainer department. Unless the company comes up with a winning formula for Charlie Haas, it is likely he will grow stale and be let go again or he will toil away in the undercards.
