News On Heath Slater

[Swiggy]

WZ has learned from sources that Heath Slater himself volunteered to work the angle where WWE legends continue to come back and beat him up while hyping the 1,000th Raw.

The word going around the locker room is Slater has really earned his keep with the boys, writers and management.

This angle has allowed Slater, even if for only a few seconds each week, to showcase that he can be entertaining on the microphone. In addition to being able to show more of his "one man rock band" personality, every legend who worked with him has spoken highly of the experience.

This is said to be a big turning point for Slater who had a couple negative points already in his WWE career. Slater's been suspended once for a wellness policy violation, and was named in an assault allegation from a woman stemming from the WrestleMania 27 hotel in Atlanta.

While Slater is making friends and impressing his peers, the concern is what he does next. Reportedly when this angle started with the legends, it was assumed a big segment would take place at Raw 1,000, but at the moment no future details for Slater's next program have been figured out.

Sources say WWE is trying to find a way to continue using Slater's talents while giving him credibility since he just lost for a month to guys twice his age who made one night appearances.

WZ will continue to bring you updates to this story as they become available.

Scoring lots of points with Vince.

I knew just from the amount of camera time he was getting that Vince loved the kid.

Intercontinental Champ before the year ends.

Best: A Moment Of Appreciation For The Continued Presence Of Heath Slater

My favorite catchphrase right now is easily “The ONE MAN BAAAAAAND, BAY BAYYYYYY”, almost exclusively for the impossible douchebaggery of the “baby” pronunciation.

I’m extremely excited that Heath Slater gets to stay on Raw and lose decisively to folks, because he makes it look better than anyone. Maybe this is a botched Fame-Asser talking, but I think I prefer Slater’s sell to Zigglers … Ziggler flops around and exaggerates everything and it’s wonderful, but it’s also sorta muddled by his “show off” gimmick to the point where you don’t know if he’s actually supposed to be hurt or just doing his best Shawn Michaels to everyone else’s Hulk Hogan. Slater’s sell is more refined. He can end up in a headstand off a Clothesline From Hell or twist his entire body and spin his hair around to sell a Big Show knockout, but you never see it and go “ha, look at that hilarious sell”. He’s selling the shyt out of it AND making it look real. He’s not just falling flat on an RKO, he’s jumping into it like he’s trying to dunk a basketball with his head.

It’s pretty funny to think that aside from Daniel Bryan, Heath Slater is the most important Nexus guy. David Otunga was the cronie to a guy who isn’t around anymore and is off somewhere filming a movie. Wade Barrett got emasculated by everyone important and got hurt, Skip Sheffield is on Smackdown so the “Goldberg” chants won’t be so loud, Justin Gabriel is our backup Tyson Kidd and Darren Young’s one half of the Rape Is Funny tag team. Heath Slater was a focal point of Raw 1000 and had a match with a 9-time world champion on Raw. Who looks like Wendy now, baybayyy?

Young Heathcliff needs a HTM run with one of the midcard belts.

 

[Stress Welker]

Should have a Slater vs. Jericho feud w/ Jericho putting him over.

To once and for all settle who the the true rock star of the WWE is.

I can see a Double J like run for Slater. Even performing "concerts". Hell if things go well givehim a manager. Hated this ginger at first but his ability to make the legends segments fun and have fun doing it has made me kind of a fan.

That dude won for it...getting ring time with all them legends and having Howard Finkel introduce him to the ring. Booking gonna find a way to kill his momentum tho.

Yup, he won me over as well.

 

[Squirtle]

The kids trying, thats all anyone can ask for. I say give him a shot. At best I can see him becoming a poor mans Edge. Rated R semi superstar.

 

[malbaker86]

Take that belt off Tino Brown and put it on Slater lol

 

[ThatKidBlackHippy]

Thought he was garbage for a long time but dude won me over with his jobber role lately.

I don't know how well he'd be received if he gets a serious push tho.

 

[TRIPLE M]

He's still a fukking bum.... And his promos are horrible ... I'm hoping the legends keep beating his ass and maybe one botches and gets him Drozd
