I didn't see any other thread mentioning his RAW debut but I'm pretty stoked.
I thought he was going to exclusively be a part of 205 Live so it was cool to see him make a surprise appearance tagging with Balor and immediately blending in with the 'main' heavyweight roster as well. It made him immediately stand out and let us know he's a much bigger deal than what we thought initially. He also looked very natural in a WWE ring. Doesn't hurt that he was tagging with Balor and going against two of their most solid hands on the roster. He also seemed to have tightened up his physique a bit. Overall a great debut that brought new life to his character and he was put over pretty well on commentary.

Though him debuting as a call back to Balor's debut has Hunter's fingerprints all over it. I hope he does stick around and gets a Neville like resurgence. I also hope that the 205 brand flourishes to the point where it is dismantled and the 205 guys are used like the rest of the roster. I'm happy for Itami. I also hope he and Nakamura can have at least one singles match against each other. Maybe on the Japan tour. |

His debut has been completely overshadowed by the Women's Royal Rumble announcement.

It didn't help that he looked like the blandest bland of bland since Bam Neely was around.

It was strange to me that they switched corners once he joined the match.

Disappointed that He and The Revival all looked out of shape To be fair to the Revival, Dash Wilder has pretty much always been like that. |

It was interesting for sure. You could tell he was excited because the poor Miztorage was taking some nasty shits from him. Between him and Spud 205 is getting hotter.

Psyched for Itami. I'd forgotten Revival were a thing and was much happier without them sucking on my screen.

His ring work looked off...he looked out of place. Even seemed to struggle with the GTS.

I missed it but judging by the title of this thread, they dumped his first name too eh?
I guess Hideo Nomo got a trademark for his first name.
