MAYBE if he was built like Braun Strowman and MAYBE if the storyline built to it in a logical way.... then maybe it'd be 10% less shit than it is.
King Pitcos Posted October 13, 2017 Posted October 13, 2017 It would depend on the tone of the show. That great clip of the video game-themed UK indie show has people doing all sorts of mad shit, and it looks amazing fun. The no-sell might have worked in context of whatever the promotion or storyline is, but if the context is meant to be "serious" hardcore wrestling match then yeah, it's crap.
BrodyGraham Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 There's a good chance that with Joey Janella involved there was some form of ridiculous shenanigans leading up to it. I'm not saying it justifies that spot but my first response watching that was 'Well of course Janella was the other guy!'

Not keen on the spot mentioned above, but he is decent. Damn right his inexperience shows. Just catching up with this week's show and as he gets in the ring you can see the ref shouting "HARD CAM" at him twice to remind him where he is supposed to be looking. Also you'd have to say he looks very indyriffic and is going to need some work to even make it on to 205 Live.

He's there to learn and he's only just gone there

There are plenty of people training at the Performance Center or on NXT house shows that haven't made it to TV - to have a bloke who doesn't know where the camera is get a lauded debut on TV is a bit of a kick of the teeth to them.

It's a bit different though. He comes in as a bit of a star already. There is demand to see him immediately from some people. A kick in the teeth it may be but I'd rather watch him looking at the wrong camera than Tino Sabbatelli or Angelo Dawkins.
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted October 17, 2017 Paid Members Posted October 17, 2017 Is there a demand yo see him immediately though? I only knew him as that bellend who no sold a Batista bomb off a ladder through a table, it didn't make me want to see him. As Pat says if you are on TV you should know where the camera is, and let's face it every Indy show records the show these days. Everyone has a hard camera, knowing where it is is more important than all the flips and shit in the world.
AVM Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 He’s already of a really good standard, though- better than most of the people just starting out on NXT TV. As has been pointed out he needs to sort out a couple of pieces, but developmental TV is the right place for him to hone his craft. Whilst he’s doing that his weakenesses will be apparent.
Snitsky's back acne Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 I would imagine that, were Lio Rush not Lio Rush, his indiscretions would not be being excused quite so easily.
