Eli Cottonwood, which is on Dolph Ziggler levels of bad generator names. He has a creepy look. He's tall. Uhh... that's all I got:
This guy looks too limited in the ring. He has no build, although that's not neccessary (at least to me). If he was 6'1, he'd be enhancement talent at best. IF this guy get's called up, you'll have the obvious feud with The Great Khali (man, that sounds really bad on paper), maybe Kane. But I don't know if I want this guy being called up. I don't want this guy taking up a main roster spot without VAST improvement, but I don't see him improving much to be honest. He's just a big, ugly guy. But it's early, so I hope I'm wrong and he succeeds.
On a side note, your welcome for the bonus Abraham Washington video. Is Abraham and Eli channelling Teddy Long and Norman The Lunatic? Where's Abraham's giant key. Will Eli start carrying teddy bears. And DAMN, that DUI chick, Liviana, is fine as hell. So is Rosa. Neither can wrestle worth a lick unfortunatly.
So anyway, what's your early opinion on young Mr. Cottonwood?

Is Max McGurik the son of former ring announcer Mike McGurik?

Anyone here watched Good Burger? Remember the crazy guy who tossed Ed and Dexter out of the windows in the sanitarium?
Yeah, Eli Cottonwood is a dead ringer for that guy.

Recently reintroduced to society, hm? That's a new spin on the ring intro if ever I've heard one.

Rosa looks so confident there.
And is this where Abe has been?

That was a mean choke slam. I like the idea of him being "reintroduced to society" gives a different angle to the "psycho monster". If he gets called up maybe have him for the first few months not so psychotic. He gradually gets ticks and starts going crazy. *shrugs* Anyway i like the name Eli Cottonwood and if he improves(though their really wasn't much to judge his ability) he'll be a nice addition to the roster.

He looked kinda awkward but not really awful. I do wish he had a better finish rather than the generic Big-Man chokeslam. Can't someone dust off the Gorilla Press?
Rosa would do nicely as Abraham's manager in ECW.

Good big boot, but the guy has a daft name and looks pretty generic for a big man.

Rosa would do nicely as Abraham's manager in ECW. I honestly am tired of chokeslam finishers from big men. Although I wish Vladimir Koslov didn't steal Sheamus' Firey Red Hand finisher from FCW and let him have it again. And one of the first thing I thought about with the diva trade was that they would pair Rosa up with Abraham Washington and he would run for GM like in FCW. I think this is gonna happen and Tiffany will FINALLY start wrestling on TV and stop cutting Small Wonder robot promos. |

Yeah, it's hard to judge too well considering he was only in the ring for a little less than a minute, but from what I saw of Mr. Cottonwood... I'm not impressed. Not impressed at all.

Probably just me but when he came out I thought he looked like Vince Russo

I actually think the gimmick has potential. "Recently reintroduced to society from the Kellogg Sanitarium" is either the best or worst hometown ever, I can't decide.

He didn't look too bad.
I had no idea about Max McGurik, though. I really hope he gets called up and tries to join Legacy, but they laugh him out.

It's still too early, but he doesn't really have the size proportion.

And is this where Abe has been? I'd like to know, too. EDIT : Oops, misread that as "Where has THIS Abe been?", as in his micwork there was a whole hell of a lot better than what we've seen in ECW. |

Well...he should be manhandling the Undertaker in a way "never before seen" this time next fall.
