I disagree. I liked The Patriot's run, it was a fresh breath of air during a long term Austin/Hitman program. There really isn't a time more fitting for that character than the time it was in, to play off of The Hart Foundation's heel in the US/face in Canada angle. Plus he wasn't a great talker by any means, charismatic yes, as should anyone who wrestles in a mask be. But he was too southern to ever get anything more than a dash in the title scene.
