Lashley had a personality? Exactly and Big E has less Langston has a personality but his current role requires him to stare blankly and look stoic. No one can show one if you're being asked not to. Not even Santino can pull it off.

he doesn't look stoic, he looks bored
If he has a personality I suggest it be guy doing job he hates.

If Big E had no personality, he wouldn't have been the most over superstar on NXT. I never watched NXT but, plenty of folks have gotten over with no personality. Khali is pretty over yet all his personality consists of standing in the ring looking baffled by whatever is going on around him. Kofi is over with the crowd and has no personality beyond smiling a lot. Rey has no personality beyond wearing a mask and is ridiculously over.

For example watching Kofi I consider him a hot blooded action junkie

At least in the case of Khali and Rey, they both have visual cues that get them over. Khali with his height, MASSIVE jaw, and huge hands; Rey with his mask.

That preview picture just cracks me up. It looks like he's just standing there with a "C'mon, Son." ready for the camera. That said, all of this is just for Ziggler, huh? The only reason this kind of sours me on Langston is that he seems like he could do well on his own, but they jettisoned him into the third-string Diesel position. You got to start somewhere, right Deacon Dave?

It is hands down different. A swinging neckbreaker is way different then holding a guy's gut over your shoulder and falling down. What impact there is requires the victim to be too senseless to simply protect his head. a TKO is the fireman's carry into the Stunner or Cutter, not the indy neckbreaker To me the Big ending seems to be a combination gutbuster facebuster because his victim is being pulled down stomach first on his shoulder but he's also hitting the mat face first unprotected OK, the TKO is a swinging cutter rather than a swinging neckbreaker. Doesn't change that Langston's move is premised on the victim holding his arms away from his head so his face can be planted in the mat. Unless you are knocked-out to the point where you should already be pinnable why wouldn't you protect your head? I know lots of finishers have "logic holes" in them. Thing is I don't find the move that impressive in the first place for a guy that powerful. When I consider the hole goes with a meh finisher I'm just left bleh.

I thought the move was just a reverse backbreaker that takes the air out of you

Never seen this guy wrestle before he showed up on Raw, so I looked up a few NXT matches. Love the five count thing and the crowd seems to eat it up.
