Is anyone else finding his accent a lot more noticeable than it was during his Kendrick/ECW days?
I don't think he's bad though, just needs to find a more comfortable way of speaking so to eliminate the few awkward seconds.

This is why I like Corre, it gives the other 3 a chance to work on their mic skills.

I don't think he's that bad at all, and I'm not finding his accent (I only noticed it enough to comment to my friend that it was kinda cool sounding; it didn't prevent me from understanding him) to be a problem.

I don't find anything wrong with Big Zeke getting some mic time to improve. Plus I didn't think he was even that bad. Sure he's not brilliant but he isn't awful.

Yeah they should probably just let Barrett do all the talking but if they want to get this group over as equals I guess they will all have to talk. Bad promos for months on end then.

 I'm SO glad she stopped talking after that 2nd week since the Usos debuted. Talk about brutal. And yeah, Zeke is awkward as hell, but he's not downright awful. I'm sure over time he'll lose the nerves and become comfortable. |

I don;t get why he was no so good on the Mic. I remember him being pretty good when he was with Brian Kendrick, and speaking quite eloquently.

Well, I am a Big Zeke mark but even so I don't think he's bad on the mic. Kinda wooden, but then again half the wrestlers I've ever heard have been wooden. His accent is pretty cool, although interestingly I was sure I'd heard him talk on one of those "Stand up for WWE" videos and he just sounded American.
Sidenote, I disagree with Tamina being called brutal on the mic. I was actually really impressed by her during the promo the week after she and the Uso's debuted.

I think he was made to put on an accent when they billed him from Harlem, but he started talking in his normal voice once they started to bill him from Guyana. |

I don't think he's bad though, just needs to find a more comfortable way of speaking so to eliminate the few awkward seconds. Yeah, I can't tell if this is a forced accent or not. He was billed as being from Harlem initially, so maybe he felt the need to Americanise, as it were. |

he sounded better on Smackdown, but last night he sounded awful and unsure of himself.

He is a tad awkward... but I think it's just him trying to reign in his accent a bit, and seems to have to stop for a moment to concentrate on saying things clearly.

I remember him being decent on the mic on ECW, so maybe this group unity thing just isn't something he's very conmfortable with getting across just yet.
Still, mic skills would probably be one of the few things I wouldn't complain about involving Ezekiel.

I actually think his mic skills are okay, if he talked like The Miz or Byron Saxton it would totally take me out of his character. He's not supposed to be an over-the-top character, just an mysterious powerhouse.

Maybe he suffers from Glossophobia. He did pre-tapes when he was with Kendrick and never really when he was with Koslov and Regal.
