Just wondering if anyone is a fan of Facade. I've enjoyed watching him and consider him to be one of the more talented Indy wrestlers right now. Sadly, I very rarely hear him getting any publicity and don't see many people talk about him.
He's wrestling AJ Styles this weekend for Remix. To me, he could easily be a huge star if he ever gets a push. Would love to see him get a chance at ROH or CZW (or bought in to NXT).
Here's a little highlight video of him. For my money his "matrix" moves are pretty awesome.

I enjoy him and know him best from his work in IWC (doesn't everybody?). The guy has a great gimmick, but I'm not sure if WWE would ever take a look at him. I wouldn't mind seeing him have some matches in TNA's X Division or possibly even wrestling for NXT.

I'd like to see him in the X-division. I'm looking forward to how he meshes with AJ Styles this weekend. I don't think WWE would use him correctly (I think they'd probably have him in the Benjamin/Kofi role) but I think he could be very successful in NXT. I enjoy him and know him best from his work in IWC (doesn't everybody?). I actually know him from his Remix Pro stuff. I'm usually late with finding out about good indy talent as the indy scene in Louisiana is basically non-existent. Last really good fed I remember was All Access Wrestling based out of Lafayette.

Saw one of his matches on a Extreme Rising show. And he did impress me. Heard rumors he might be working a show in my area this year.

Seems okay, but aside from that Kip Up Heel Kick, there's no way he would get in to WWE with that style. NXT would soon strip him of personality.

He's going to have to lose the white boy dreadlock look.

Got to see his work in Indiana (IPW) and actually worked a show with him in Ohio. Didn't know how far he'd go, but I like watching his work.

He would be great in the x division. He doesn't seem like a WWE type or NXT for that matter. Solid talent however.He does remind me of AJ Styles when I first saw AJ so him and AJ should be awesome too see.

If he would ever get called up to WWE/NXT I could see him having the Hurricane/Kofi spot on the roster, which isn't a bad thing.
I think his best would be to catch on with Impact, where I think he would be great in the X division. I could also see him doing well in ROH. I think he would have been near perfect in Chikara, as his character seems like a good fit in that environment.
