What happens when WWE jumps on the latest Pirates of the Caribbean craze? Paul Burchill happens.
A talented in-ring worker, Burchill signed for WWE in 2005 before swinging his way into our television screens as a pirate later the same year. When you declare that Blackbeard is your relative, that kills any credibility your character has and that’s what happened with Burchill.
He was never taken seriously by the WWE and this gimmick effectively killed Burchill’s wrestling career, and despite that fact he managed to make his way into SmackDown vs RAW 2007.
