Oh no..I don't like Solomon Crowe

[TWERKIN' MAGGLE]

I don't even really understand how one works a hacker gimmick.

"Look at me, I hacked the titantron!"

"Cool beans." *hits finish and pins*

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

Damn, I guess he is dead in the water then. Bo Dallas was clearly never able to recover from his initial flop and I highly doubt anyone else can.

[Bub (BLM)]

Considering his terrible look combined with that laughable finisher, I don't like him either.

Really? This level of snark seems totally warranted.


I didn't like Crowe on the indies. But I never loved Bryan Danielson either but Daniel Bryan has been money since day 1.

So I hope Crowe turns it around.

I've always thought he was a bit overrated. I've seen some good stuff from him, but not enough to be excited about seeing his name on a card.

Is the bathing suit look because he has Fat-Bastard-at-the-end-of-Austin-Powers syndrome from his weight loss still?

I don't think so - he's been in shape since late 2008 and has wrestled quite a bit since.

I don't think the singlet works for him, but it was pointed out to me that we already have a couple of jeans & t-shirt guys (Ambrose, Harper).

The finisher sucks but I'm on board with Crowe. He looked legit against Dempsey and memory serves it's only Corbin who has beaten Bull right?

Hideo Otami also beat him last week

I wonder why they went with his current look over this:

That look is so f***ing badass. 


Why does he look like he does now?  


That look covered up his bald spot (it was way too obvious last night) and also covered up his jiggly thighs.


He probably does have irreparable loose stomach skin from being a former fatty (just like Reigns and Corbin), but WHY go with the one-piece William Regal bathing suit?  Why not a regular singlet?  Why not tights?



They need to either cut the hacker crap and just let him be dingy little scrappy indy guy OR go all out with the hacker stuff like he used to do on those house shows.  Doing both is just random. 

His finisher also f***ing sucked.


I can't believe we waited well over a year for this.  Hopefully he'll start making immediate tweaks like Becky Lynch did..

PWG has a way of being so awesome that it makes me love every match, and every wrestler in those matches. He's the only wrestler in the last 5~ years that had a major role in PWG that I straight up disliked. Not a fan of his wrestling style, the character seems super forced, and I thought he was dreadful on commentary the few times they trotted him out there. Nothing about him appealed to me, personally. I was hopeful that the transition to NXT would bring about a fresh start, and I ended up getting excited about his debut despite my previous feelings toward him. I'm already back to feeling the same way I did when he was in PWG. He's just not my cup of tea.

That one week with her trying to dance was one of the most embarrassing things I've seen on wrestling.

[Dub H]

Bad Hair,orange skin,stupid outfit.

Finisher is one of the most stupid finishers i ever saw(works fine as signature move tough).

Didn't blow me away in the ring,didn't blow me away on the mic.


Get him a total makeover before anything.

[abjordans]

Yea, that,isn't gonna cut it in the age of the NXT 5. Let's keep it real, the bar has been raised.

First time I have seen him, but he has some buzz and some reputation. Hopefully they can, you know, DEVELOP him.

[Dave the Dave]

I may have missed it, what is his finish? Can't seem to google the answer.

Based on the worst finishers thread, I think it was this

Holy wow. Especially on a big old fat guy like Bull, that looks terrible.

[bluemeii]

No he really hasn't impressed me at all so far. That being said, not gonna bury the guy yet either. Gotta give him some kind of chance.

[The Ichi]

The gimmick is about 15 years too late. Hackers aren't really seen as "cool" anymore.

[Evilution E5150]

the rebound splash move is great but no way is it a finisher, its more of a transition move than anything, like Eddies slingshot senton

[Harry The Arrow was Wrong!]

I said it in another thread, he should start using the headlock driver again.
