Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted February 17, 2014 Moderators Share Posted February 17, 2014 His facial hair is fairly Carlton Banks-esque. Pitcos is right, he looks like a comedy actor from one of those American teen comedy shows that used to come on Trouble back in the 90's. Â Â I would definitely find him more convincing if he went totally in the other direction and embraaced his Carlton Banks / David Otunga side and does the comedy thing. Â Doesn't fit it at all with what they're trying to do with him though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathrey Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I'd love to see him do Carlton's Tom Jones dance. I guess it would be hard to sell him as a bad ass wrestler afterwards though. There isn't really much mileage with those kind of gimmicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted February 17, 2014 Moderators Share Posted February 17, 2014 Yeah exactly.. we'll just have to put up wiht him trying and failing to be a badass for a while longer until he's totally dead in the water and then look forward to his future revival as a comedy character further down the line.

Paid Members ShortOrderCook Posted February 17, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted February 17, 2014 Really? I think he looks like a pretty mean bastard, not to be fucked with when he's got his serious face on. But also has a lovely face when he's smiling, which could help him be a John Cena like babyface when it comes to appearances and interviews representing the company. He's a weird looking fella. Massive upper body on two stick legs. Â Â When you say stick...you mean great big fuck off oak tree, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved the neo-Taz look they gave him, and the only way you can pull off the singlet/no-kneepads look is if you've got legs like tree-trunks, which Taz had and Big E does.

King Pitcos Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Tazz looked like a bag of shit until he put the binman outfit on. Big E isn't that bad, but no big-name wrestler should be going round in a singlet that the closest comparison to is little fat Tazz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At his height in ECW, he was tiny, but looked like a ball of nastiness who'd fuck you up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â When you say stick...you mean great big fuck off oak tree, right? Nah, from the knee down, his legs are like twiglets. Now on an ordinary guy, I'm sure he's got massive calves but for a guy with a chest and thighs as wide as he has, they look like cartoon chicken drumsticks.

Â Â His hard-man look along with the booking where he never got pinned and was throwing everyone around the ring (from people even smaller than him like Mikey & Spike up to huge people like Paul Varelans & Mike Awesome), he was a very convincing tough guy.

Paid Members FLips Posted February 17, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted February 17, 2014 Taz looked shit when he started wearing the bin man outfit, not the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cutting Edge Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Yeah Taz always looked solid and legit dunno if he really was but matters not, Â On the subject of kneepads I cringe anytime I see someone wrestling without them, guys get crazy wear and tear when wearing them so surely without is just speeding up the process, Im glad guys like Show and Cody now where them now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winston Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I can remember being ridiculously excited when Taz debuted in the WWE and his debut was great as well. Then it all just went to shit. Pretty woeful feud with King Lawler and the terrible costume change. Â Tazz and also Raven both majorly underachieved in the WWE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted February 17, 2014 Moderators Share Posted February 17, 2014 I don't cringe about that, but I do always think a lack of knee pads looks fucking odd. And Big E is no exception.. his weirdly thick thighs only make it look odder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you're right - it was good for him to get them back on, especially as he's using moonsaults now. Don't want to end up like Muta before you reach Muta's age.  Show, though - I don't know. He's big enough that he can pull off the look, but also that he doesn't have to wrestle a style that puts too much pressure on the knees. He doesn't and shouldn't bump on a regular basis, so I can't imagine an absence of kneepads would affect him as much as it does others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
