Outlook - Mike Kruel was a solid amateur wrestler who turned pro and like his father worked the independent in the Northeast. Initially, his style was based around matwork and he built a reputation as good hand. Although his prospects seemed limited due to his size and lack of personality, Mike Kruel was picked up by the WWE. In OVW, Kruel spent time toiling in the midcard teaming with Shawn Osborne and Eddie Craven III. However, he eventually reformed his style and became the arrogant "Real American Hero." Michael Washington Kruel with stars and stripes on his trucks, marching to ring with patriotic music and heading up Team America became a top star in the WWE's premier developmental territory. Kruel as a patriotic heel has helped people like Milena Roucka, Vladamir Kozlov and various new wrestlers from Derby City Wrestling get something going in OVW. He has developed into someone who is above average all around and the WWE could definitely make use of him in some form.
