Gavin Spears: Jamie Noble 2/Charlie Haas 2

[azz0r]

Anyone else get that vibe?

Is he any good?

[lovingway]

I get a Lance Storm type vibe to him. Although I have seen him in OVW and he is talented.

[ilggant]

what i want to know is how do you learn to fall off a 20 foot ladder?

I DON'T KNOOOOOOOOOOW!

[EJS]

He wrestles as a Randy Orton clone basically. He looked a lot like him too when he was - facial hair + a bit more muscle definition.

[SassovsHart]

He's got plenty of talent and can be really fun and entertaining if they let him really play up the cowardly heel aspect of his character like he got to in OVW.

Dammit, I missed the Shawn Spears debut!

Okay, just watched it on Dailymotion. First thing I noticed: this guy had the best debut promo of any of the new guys. He's technically sound, and doing little things like pushing down his kneepad before giving Ortiz some high knees = good heel psychology. I love how vocal he is, and his facial expressions when Ortiz powered out of the grind down hold were just priceless. He's going to get over.

On a side note...BONEYARD BOOGIE!!!!

I refer to him as "Charlie Orton". Seems appropriate.

[Spankymac is sick of the swiss]

I thought he was good, and, having seen a smattering of his awesome OVW work, I'm hoping for big things from him.

I thought DiBiase was more of Orton 2.0 right down to the ring attire.

I'm a huge Shawn... er Gavin Spears mark. he was one of my favorite guys in OVW before the florida exodus. I hope he has a great run in the E!

on a side note, he played the infamous "Stan" character from when HBK freaked out and started superkicking random people during the last DX run.

I STILL say they should have played this up. I mean, what more of a ready built fued do you need? The introductory vignettes write themselves: "Shawn....do you remember? Because I do! And now I'm gonna get my revenge! Sooner or later, Stan's gonna KICK YOU!"

It'd be totally cool if they did something like that with him, which is why they won't.

That, and the WWE needs to spring for the money to buy the rights to his OVW entrance music. They could probably get it for a bargain, since The Darkness hasn't done much recently.

Here's some more Spears trivia... Cody Rhodes actually picked that music out for them when they were teaming up, and spears just kept it.

[Avalanche Alvarez]

Didn't get a real chance to show his ability cause he was doing the job to DaBortiz.
Makes so little sense to have him debut to a loss.
But without Nunzio, what could they do?

Yeah, I know, and the even funnier part was that he fueded with Cody right after they teamed...and he still kept the music.

What?!?!?!

You mean all this time I've been e-Kicking Stan's ass I've been beating up SHAWN SPEARS!?!?!??!?

Oh god, oh god oh god oh god...........I'm gonna die!

[MolotovMocktail]

He showed promise, but his character was a little bland, and it didn't help that he had to job in his debut match. I had an idea for him, but it would have taken him from an Orton clone to a Raven clone. Anyway, it's done, WWE didn't do it, so this will be the last you'll hear about it.
