:whoa: I'm a fan, but knowing WWE he could've been easily deavored like the rest of the failures, why does he stand out ?

It's mostly due to in-ring skill, outside of that, he's pretty bland imo, and his live promos tend to put me to sleep.

It's mostly an older male fanbase that's behind him.

He's under D Bry and Punk by a large margin but atleast he's above Zack Ryder.

he's smallish, he's white and he's loses a lot, the smarks have to love him. lol seriously I'm not a fan but I respect his hard in-ring work despite finding him annoying.

He is charismatic, can work his ass off, very athletic, does the job when needed, stands out from the crowd and most importantly he has a connection with the fans.

Just look at WM and the Raw after and that`ll tell you everything

He makes others look great, he has a good look and he's athletic as hell.

If only he could cut a top-notch promo with some bass in his voice...

Lots of in-ring charisma. Does his best to make the other side look good no matter who it is (looking at you, Ryder) Oversells even the littlest moves like a simple monkey flip just to give us that "holy shyt" moment. Does this no matter where he is on the card or if he's winning or jobbing (usually the latter.)

Live mic work obviously lacks but when put to the real test solo, can come through (AJ locker room ether comes to mind.) People bring up his offence, or lackthereof.. little tough to showcase that when you're selling for 90% of a match just to make the other guy look good.

That night after WM pop :blessed:

All of this, people truly don't understand how much ring charisma counts.

Daniel Bryan is a great example of ring charisma, even before his personality showed in WWE he always had great in-ring charisma.

Agreed. This dude should spit despicably acidic ether like he did against AJ and worse all the time. Instead he just says generic annoying heel shyt sometimes.

Summed it up perfectly. Just needs a good program and a face turn to really take off. He's not the type of wrestler you'll want to boo. Not sinster looking enough to be taken seriously as a heel. Not enough bass in his voice.

Natural face IMO. My favorite wrestler right now besides Punk.
