Is Anyone Actually Looking Forward To Hawkins Return?

[Emmet Russell]

Anyone at all?


SD is firing on all cylinders right now, but those Hawkins return promos... so terrible. And he's never been anything more than a geek. If he comes back as "Chuck Norris Facts" Hawkins, I don't see how that helps that stigma.

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

I'm not sure he'll probably do much more than be a geek in this run anyway, and I think he's fine with that. Might do a lower card angle with Ryder and/or Rawley based on the Major Brothers continuity with Ryder, but he likely just be a hand to have around to lose so someone else doesn't have to that week.

At least they're trying something different, right? While Hawkins was never the biggest name, I never exactly heard he was a bad worker. So what's the big deal if they want to give him another shot and try something new?

[chronocross]

No, not really. I was never a big fan of the guy, but if he gets over, more power to him.

[魔界5号]

I'm looking forward to hearing DAT theme and I always enjoyed him anyway.

[Juice]

I like hawkins, always been a fan since the major bros were in development. But even i was like what reall?. They should add him to hype bros and do a major hype bros. Keep adding to three man teams and steal thay concept from luchas

Curt Hawkins sometimes loves and sometimes hates. FACT!
Curt Hawkins has been in the middle of it. FACT!
Curt Hawkins knows that there's fire and thunder everywhere. FACT!
Curt Hawkins can see it coming down. FACT!

Really though Hawkins is okay but I can't see this gimmick being any good at all. Like I know he's going to be used as a lower card talent but even still I can't believe that even someone from WWE creative pitched a decade old meme as how they're going to reintroduce the guy. At least it appears he's getting to bring his sweet mid-2000's southern metal theme with him.

[YAKMAN is ICHIBAN]

I'm having an extremely difficult time remembering anything about Curt Hawkins whatsoever. I guess it is a good thing that they are playing these facts to remind me about him.

he'll form a trio with Zack and Mojo; Major Hype Bros

[CATCH_US IS the Conversation]

Me.

[Mayonnaise]

I am looking forward to someone using that theme. Shame WWE has wasted it for so long. Also interested in the potential of a Edgeheads/Hype Bros. segment or two.

[häšhtå.gdālėÿ]

Raises hand.

[ben:friendship frog]

I am. I was really disappointed when the vignette said 'Coming Soon' and not 'Next Week' or 'Tonight'.

[Brood Lone Wolf Funker]

I am, heck give him chicken chin as his follower as well

[Push R Truth]

Give him a fedora, a huge scarf and have him ride a hoverboard to the ring. Have him hail from "His mom's basement".

[Deleted]

I am. Smackdown is already proving that it's the place for opportunities and fresh starts. Hawkins may not have been used much at all in his previous run with the company, but there's nothing to say that he won't get a fair shake this time around. Especially when you consider they originally had plans for Shelton Benjamin, there's a spot open for a veteran to gain some traction.

And even if they decide to use him strictly to put people over, it could still be fun. Hawkins isn't exactly devoid of talent or anything.

Like with everything else, I'm going to give it a chance.

[fw91]

I don't think even Curt Hawkins is looking forward to this return

[Main Eventer]

Me... I've been a fan of Hawkins since his feud with Trent on Superstars years ago. I doubt he is going to do anything more than job to new guys, but it gives him a check and hopefully we get to hear his amazing theme again.

[Crappler El 0 M]

Good for him. I'm not really excited about him returning, though.

[MAD TITAN]

He can't come back looking like AJ Styles pre-2013 though.
