| #2 Posted on 10.9.05 1806.52 Reposted on: 10.9.12 1807.45 | I thought he was very good indeed. A classic English heel with the perfect accent. I was hoping he would say something like 'Look, you idiots, we settled this country but decided to leave it because America is a piece of shit!', but he didn't
He's a very good foil for Regal. | fmspike121

| #4 Posted on 10.9.05 1858.05 Reposted on: 10.9.12 1859.01 | SmackDown was pre-empted in NYC last night, but I saw him the week before and the grade I'd give him is a resounding "Too soon to say".
I hope, though, that he's smart enough to know that there are about thirty thousand things any wrestler could learn working with Regal (subtleties, facial expressions, how not to cope with a life on the road).
And the C4 is a very pretty move. But who'd take it other than a cruiser?

| #5 Posted on 10.9.05 2020.55 Reposted on: 10.9.12 2021.54 | I have seen the c4 and honestly I am not impressed with it. It takes more athletic ability from the taker than the initiator. Sure it may look pretty but I don't see WWE fans diggin it to much.

Probably for the best he isn't busting out C4's left and right, both because of unrealistic expectations and just not fitting with his character. | sentonBOMB

Yeah, the match wasn't bad. I like the shoulder breaker/armbar combo as a finisher. | jwrestle

The Shoulder breaker into Fujiwara armbar is a great finisher.
Regal said it best "He is a hooligan". | BigFredMachine

Screw the C4 - he's never gonna use it. Judge him for the moves he can show you. | fmspike121

not on this week smackdown so i hope he gets a good match next week where he can hit some other moves.

Is this a spoiler? If so, it probably wasn't cool to just put it in a random thread. | geemoney

Sometimes people get confused between "dark matches" and what ends up on Velocity. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't the latter. | ALL ORIGINAL POSTS IN THIS THREAD ARE NOW AVAILABLE |
