How have you felt about Doug Williams so far? I honestly think he's one of the best guys they've picked up in recent years, between the tag champion run and now the X-Division champion run. I think he can have a great match with anyone, and isn't too shabby on the mic. I will say he's the first time since Joe won the X-Division title that I've actually been interested in the X-Division champ.
Anyone else feel that way? I mean, he was great in the Independents, but he's just been so exciting to see on Cable TV. Hoping for a feud with Daniels, the triple threat doesn't count because they threw Williams out every time he tried to enter the ring.

He's a great technical wrestler and awesome on the mic.
But at the same time, his promo at Destination X was kind of ironic.
"This is what the X Division should be about! Mat wrestling, technical holds, catch-as-catch-can style!"
And, apparently, a brick.

Yes, but it was a technical brick, not a flippy floppy acrobatic brick that belongs in a circus

I'm a fan of Williams...I'm really happy to see him get a run with a significant title. He is 37 and he's been wrestling on the independents for an obscene amount of time. He genuinely deserves the title.
He's had it far longer than I thought he would. Which is great!

He's always been my favorite in the British Invasion, and now he'll be competing with Orlando Gaga as the main reason I tune into Impact.

You know, as a long-time fan of the guy I had whole rant prepared on how he's not as good as he was. Then I realised that NONE of it was even slightly true. Better than ever

Yeah, nthing everything said in the thread. Seen some of his ROH stuff, specifically a match or two he had with Samoa Joe. Guy is just plain awesome. And looks a hell of a lot younger than thirty-seven.

I had no idea he's 37! Magnus is almost young enough to be his son.

I havent seen Doug since he used to be the champ in FWA, god knows how many years ago. Used to come on the bagpipe report and do interviews. For what he has got, and for some of the talent he is in the ring with, i think hes doing quite well.
Well done fellah!

He's a great talent and they did make a smart move of signing him. He impressed them alot during the world x cup in 2008. I am a bit surprised given his ability and skill he never got signed or considered by WWE to be a tag partner with William Regal and reform the bluebloods. He'd seem like the type of guy Regal would work with.

I've became a big fan of this guy since I started regularly watching TNA. I've always been a fan of the more technical style, and he's really won me over. The Chaos Theory is indeed a great move.
I loved his promo at Destination X. I turned to my friends and said, "Thing is, he's getting over as a babyface with me."
