Lio seems to have a number of face versus heel match workrate based templates in singles and tag down.

I have not seen Desmond consistently enough in the same entertainment package week to week like Lio to know.

I also think it is to early to tell on either one's full upside potentially in wwe.
As rush could be handicapped because of his size.
Yet I feel he should be booked with a rocket on his back.
As he is the domestic black submission that closely resembles what rey mysterious was to WCW.
before the nwo invasion, and emulate how mysterio was used with Dean malenko as the focal point of the promotion.
Before clique low quality workers politically handicapped the card.
then also deflected on terms lile vanilla midget to be demonstrative to better workers.
to deflect away from their political windfall flanking hogan in his new renewed goblin like glory.

With the advent of 205 Live they will have equal chance but Lio is SMALL. Even for indies standards. That will keep him typecast in WWE

Lio but Desmond has a lot of upside. Shane Strickland is still my favorite though
Saw those three team up to face off against OI4K at Wrestle Circus in Austin in April, such amazing damn match. It was my first time to see Lio live, but I have seen Xavier and Strickland multiple times now and they put on an amazing show. Two months before at Wrestle Circus, Xavier, Strickland and Fenix all went at it and was the best match of the night then as well.

Here is video of the 6 man match -

BTW - if you in Texas and can get down to Austin for a Wrestle Circus show, do it! It's amazing. Cards are stacked and somehow they top the previous month.

Bruh. The match starts with both teams coming out to Chaka Khan. The first five minutes of the video are somehow my favorite wrestling thing in a while. Sami coming out and demanding a replay of the song for their entrance might negate how bad House of Horrors was.
Ok. It doesn't. But it gets close.

I am not sure about every apperance, but Strickland comes out to that song every match at Wrestle Circus. It's so great.

Speaking of Strickland, he is in the main event of Wrestle Circus' May Show "Lucha Carnival" (1st one I'll miss this year)
