Paid Members PunkStep Posted May 18, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted May 18, 2016 Uhaa Nation just doesn't sound like a person's name though. It just reminds me of Samoa Joe drawing a penis on his face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gaffer Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Uhaa Nation just doesn't sound like a person's name though. Perfect. There's too many names in WWE these days. They'd do well to call somebody up and call them Space Iscariot or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidB6937 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Apollo's name is the least of his worries. Most can get over a shit name if they have something else to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Big Benny HG Posted May 18, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted May 18, 2016 From what I remember from one of his pre-WWE PCW appearances, "Uhaa" is actually his genuine surname, while he was nicknamed "One Man Nation" during his time as a football player, so his wrestling name was a combination of the two (a bit like Ryan 'Silverback' Reeves). Â I still think he probably has 'something' to offer - he was just moved out of developmental before both he and WWE had chance to work out what it was and what to do with it. Should have developed him into the performer he could possibly have become, rather than rushing along with the raw materials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Problem is with him is he's not even that remarkable in the ring. Neville's no natural on the mic but he's had a handful of really great matches and his moveset dwarfs Crews'. Same with Cesaro, undeniably awkward on the mic, has had loads of wrinkles to iron in his gimmick and presentation over the years, but he's a fan favourite because he regularly and consistently tears shit up inside the ring. Never actually seen Crews have a match better than solid. I would guess his psychology needs major work before he'll be of any use. Or they've just not tried because they expect people to be more inherently impressed by him cos Vince is mesmerized by his pecs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Mustang Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 'There ain't no party like an uppercut party'? Is that even a thing, or is Mauro a closet SClub 7 fan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanoTheGame Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 It's grating lines like that from him which remind me of Matt Striker, and considering Striker is one of the worst WWE commentators in history that's not a good thing. Miz's 'You are a nerd' comeback was hilarious though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briefcase Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 I've really turned off Mauro. At first I thought he was a bit unique and interesting but now he just seems he's commentating in the wrong profession and it really grates on me.   In some respects he reminds me of Ian Darke who took a while to get used too after changing from Boxing to Football but something still doesn't feel quite right.  It feels like he tries too hard rather than being natural, shame as I said good things about him earlier in the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Of Swing Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Mauro can be irritating but I would still take him over JBL and Cole every time. Â On the commentators subject, Half arsed Lawler is still an infinitely better heel than JBL and Graves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philjax Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Sasha Banks is BACK! On Main Event. Decent little match with Summer Rae. Same from Enzo & Cass Vs The Vaudevillains, and Viktor is doing his best Decay impression. Good episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted July 8, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted July 8, 2016 I see Smackdown has started opening with Saturday Nights Main Event style interviews. I approve of this. Hope they keep doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 can't say Im thrilled with that. its not a match that gets me thinking 'ooh, that'll be good'. whats the dynamic between the two gonna be even? there are countless midcarders I'd rather see Brock face seems like they dont really know what to do with either Brock or Boreton, so they've just made the "draw" match-up to try and get on that UFC hype Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
