– Mike Bucci – also known as Super Nova and Nova in ECW and WWE developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling – debuted a new character by the name of Simon Dean tonight in a vignette on RAW, where he claimed that by calling (203) 352-1587, you can order his health products. This character is rumored to be named after Dean Malenko’s real name “Dean Simon.”

Here’s the transcript of what you hear when you call the number:

“Thanks for calling the Simon System. You’re making the first step in changing your fat, lazy lifestyle. The Simon System is a revolutionary, proprietary, homeopathic breakthrough, designed by me, Simon Dean. I’ve studied and researched the most efficient way to melt away the mountains of fat stored on your pathetic body. By ordering my product, your body will change on a molecular level. Now, as expected, my operators are very busy helping fat people just like you. While you’re waiting, let me tell you more about me. Well, I was born to help the people I refer to as the fat masses, like you. Later in life, I went on –“

The voicemail then beeps.

By the time someone was able to reach him by cell phone he was two hours away driving to Seattle for RAW, and it seems – with his appearance on RAW – that things were apparently smoothed over tonight.
