I've liked him since back when he was teaming with Carlito, and I'm so glad he's finally getting another opportunity to do something other than working as talent enhancement.

I agree. Primo is not only good, he is hard working and getting better and better.

Same here. He definitely deserves a shot. I think its a testament to his talent that they've kept him around for a relatively long time considering they've never done much with him. I feel like him and Tyson Kidd are kept because they're just too good to not eventually use, but they haven't yet.

I always hated being the only Primo fan among my friends.
Now I can gloat like a man.

If SVR 2011 is any indication, Primo is the best wrestler of all time.

Primo is really talented, even Carlito said on the Art of Wrestling that Primo is the better wrestler. Which he is, Carlito has the charisma and Primo has the talent, which is one reason why they worked so well as a team. I do wish they would have done something with him as a babyface though, because he's got an amazing babyface comeback, which I guess is a take off on his Dad's comeback, with the cartwheel and the jumping toe touch.

I've been on the Primo bandwagon since he debuted. It's nice to have company now!

I've been a Primo fan for ages. He's ridiculously talented. If SVR 2011 is any indication, Primo is the best wrestler of all time. Primo in SVR 2010 destroyed the rest of my roster FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I had this setup where I would pit random wrestlers against each other. Primo NEVER LOST. He beat Triple H and John Cena. I could NOT believe what the hell was happening. It was like my game was trolling me. |

In SVR 11, Primo was NEVER lower than number 5 in the US or IC title rankings. No matter how many times he was squashed by people in lower rankings, he wouldn't budge.
I think its because of how much he and Zack Ryder dominated as DZP.

Eddie (Primo) has been a good wrestler for a very big part of his career and now it shows with him being pushed along with Orlando (Épico), showing their natural chemistry as well as his skills in a relatively bigger platform. I still remember him being a scrawny little kid with red baggy pants dragging a shovel to make the save only to get owned by the heels but now he has become a man of his own and a good wrestler to boot.

I'll be honest in saying that the reason I joined this place was because I saw so many people appreciating his little moments as AJ's pro on NXT. You don't find that elsewhere in the IWC.
This is a guy who hasn't done any publicity since joining WWE - no interviews, no Twitter account. But from the little bits he gets to show, he's self-aware about his place in the company and willing to make fun of it. I find that endearing.
Ring-wise, he's good. He's much better suited as a face, even Colt Cabana has said this. As a heel, he's a very solid jobber but kind of boring to watch and I wonder if that will be a problem if he gets into it with Air Boom. Don't get me wrong, he's not bad but sometimes I watch him as a heel and he tries to play to the crowd yet his matches aren't memorable. He has a long match with Kofi that should be online at any second though so I'm looking forward to that.
People forget that this is the guy who had a pretty excellent match with Miz on ECW before the Awesome one got any awesome push. It's a shame how Carlito's depression cost him and I'm hoping, with Epico, he'll at least be showcased more.
Short version: the Primo love is... Primo. <3

Primo doesn't just work better as a babyface, but he looks like a babyface. Same here. He definitely deserves a shot. I think its a testament to his talent that they've kept him around for a relatively long time considering they've never done much with him. I feel like him and Tyson Kidd are kept because they're just too good to not eventually use, but they haven't yet. They use Tyson Kidd more than pretty much anyone else (he's regularly been doing a match for each of NXT, Superstars and Smackdown lateley) because of just how good he is at putting people over. And it seems like they want to do something with him (giving him a bodyguard and the changing manager gimmick), but because they've spent so long saying 'big is good' that they need to give him something extra to get over. |

Primo doesn't just work better as a babyface, but he looks like a babyface.  You are correct, sir. If WWE was willing to put effort into it, he'd be a good tag partner for Bourne. Their brief stint together had potential. |

Yes! I've thought he was great for years and he's never really gotten any love here!
I always say that every house show I've been to (when he was face) he would get big "Primo" chants, which would go against how he was usually received on tv (silence). It just didn't make sense; he was usually in a match in the middle of the card (so the fans weren't cheering him just because he's off the tv like they do the wrestlers in the first match of the night) and more popular wrestlers before and after him on the show wouldnt get as good a reception.

I've been talking about how wondrous Primo is for years now - he's polished in every single facet, and if the WWE would get on that train, he could be big with the Hispanic audience that they are constantly seeking.

Anyone remember his match with Miz a few years ago on ECW during the Colons/Mizorrison feud? Everyone talks about Morrison vs. Bourne as one of ECW's biggest gems, but this match just came out of nowhere with how good it was.

Is it just me, or does he look like he could be the son of Turk and Carla from Scrubs?

He is really solid in the ring... I saw him wrestle Kofi on Monday in the Superstars tapings, and they really put on an excellent little match.
