Keith Lee is so wack and generic.

Dude really shouldn't talk most of the time, instead he should just smile condescendingly at people while he beats their asses. Only let him speak in very brief bursts for comedic effect or to emphasize a point and I promise you all these problems would go away. He's not going to change who he is; half of his signature moves are named after DBZ techniques for fukk's sake.

With that said, I'm catching up on the last two weeks of AEW programming, so I finally saw his debut a couple of days ago and...dude's gotta lose 50 pounds if he's going to last (look at him 2 weeks ago vs how he looked at Takeover Portland against Donovan Dijakovic. Smaller gut and thinner face 3 years ago). We all know what positives Lee brings to the table in the ring, but they're completely negated if he gets blown up 3 minutes into a squash match and Private Party have to essentially powerbomb themselves to make the post-match angle look good. I can't believe I'm saying this given that I was the number one Switchblade hater on the forum at one point, but Jay White looked infinitely better during his in-ring debut than Lee did during his (and Lee's was much more of a showcase than White's was).

I'll see what happens in the next few months, but I'm not going to anoint Lee a top guy in AEW quite yet.

Pretty much agree with all of this. It did look like he was having the time of his life out there squashing PP and taking in the crowd adulation, but after all that length of layoff, I was hoping he’d lose weight even for pure health reasons. The Butcher and even Jericho were able to do that.

He's likely leaning into it to mess with people.

Perhaps
