Oh shit no guys I think I cracked the code here; this is a diversity hire to replace Mahabali Shera as "the dude who's really not very good but who received an inexplicable push in another televised promotion and so we need to try and do something with him". Not to say Punishment Martinez is as bad as f***ing Khoya is because I don't hatet he dude that hard, but it's definitely hitting that same niche for me.

Is he like 911 levels of bad, I never really saw any of his matches because I kept getting distracted by other things I'd say he's like Corbin but with a bit more speed and less power. Similar skill in the ring but I prefer Corbin. His character work in and out of the ring is worse than Corbin though. He's young from what others are saying so there's potential there but this is a signing that most likely will not go too far until he's more well-rounded.

Never seen the guy, but he's definitely not young. He'll be 37 in February, according to his Wiki.

Doesn't this just put more onus on ROH to sign the various BC guys? Martinez isn't a huge loss either way but he was the TV champion. ROH needs to desperately sign some guys regardless. Yeah, ROH definitely does need some star power not associated with The Elite, but as far as filling the void left by Martinez, they definitely upgraded with Jeff Cobb being brought in.

I can’t say I’m a huge fan, but I will say that he’s improved in leaps and bounds over the past couple of years and he’s got an interesting look aside from that awful tattoo on his back.
I think he’ll be okay.

We've already got Baron Corbin, why do we need his non-union Puerto Rican equivalent?

::sigh:: Hunter, just because you can sign every indy wrestler around doesn't mean you should. I've seen the guy stop up and have a really good match every now and then, but he's really inconsistent on that. Plus the guy is just boring out of the ring. He can do his pseudo-Undertaker gimmick all he wants but it's not hiding his bland personality. On the flip side just because they get offered the deal doesn't mean they have to take it
Also I rather have Killer Kross but after another 2 years or so of him getting seasoning

Yeah I have said for a while now that when it comes to the various BC guys it is WWE's duty to extend and offer and it is their duty to turn it down unless it's just insane.

The first time I saw him at ROH I thought "This is a guy that Vince will love for 3 months and then drop like a hot potatoe".

We've already got Baron Corbin, why do we need his non-union Puerto Rican equivalent? I was about to say, lmao. This dude is just like Baron Corbin. Tall, good look, practically nothing else going for him. I know WWE is signing any warm body with an ounce of potential but my goodness, they'll take practically anybody if you've worked ROH or TNA, huh?

'Punishment Martinez' is a f***ing terrible gimmick name, but it's at least better than f***ing 'Tucker' and 'Devlin' and 'Walter' that we get these days.

'Punishment Martinez' is a f***ing terrible gimmick name The problem with his name is that you watch his matches, and you ask yourself "why is he called Punishment when he wrestles like that?" He's 6ft6 and 272, but he doesn't come across as a killer in the ring at all.

I think its problems run much deeper than that and I don't even watch ROH, but it's good to know my immediate aversion to it is well-founded even if I had any evidence to back up my gut reaction from the time!
