** Certainly in ROH. His first role was as Prince Nana's bodyguard, then he was switched to the House of Truth then S.C.U.M. used him to attack Wrestling/JayLethal.

* NoSell: No sold a series of punches and elbows from Rockstar Spud. Then Spud started doing knife edge chops to which the crowd chanted "Woo" but Rhino still wasn't selling anything.

* ThemeSong:
** (in CWA in Europe): Music/{{Metallica}}'s "For Whom the Bell Tolls"

* BreakupBreakout:
** In his indy days he was part of a stable called [=THUG Life=]. He's well behind the two most successful members of that stable, Edge and Christian. Compared to Joe E. Legend, Bloody Bill Skullion and Zakk Wylde, however, he's done very well for himself.
** Also found more success than any of the other members of The Network in ECW. Steve Corino stuck to Japan and the indy circuit thinking that his style wouldn't work in WWE, though he did fairly well. Scotty Anton has been confined to minor indies ever since ECW closed.

** (in ROH): The House of Truth, The Embassy, [=S.C.U.M.=]

* {{Determinator}}: His first NWA World Title reign in TNA came on perhaps the greatest showing in Rhino's career. At Bound for Glory 2005, Rhino was already booked for a four-way "Monster's Ball" hardcore match against Wrestling/{{Raven}}, Wrestling/JeffHardy and Abyss. Not only did he win that match, but due to Wrestling/JeffJarrett's scheduled challenger Wrestling/KevinNash being unable to compete, he later won a 10-man Guantlet for the Gold match for the #1 contendership, then beat Jarrett to win the title, all on the same night, undergoing a HeelFaceTurn in the process. He would drop the title less than a month later, but he'd remain a face for some time to come.
