Wasn’t impressed with him at Survivor Series, should have put Dijakovic in his place.

That seemed to more be his indie character than it anything to do with ROH but ROH didn't help things. It's one of the things the performance centre can do at times where they get a guy not clicking and make him click with minor changes. Like, they shouldn't do it with a Keith Lee or Matt Riddle since they were big enough draws in the indies and you can use them in partner promotions if and when you do but a Punishment Martinez? Makes sense. Wasn’t impressed with him at Survivor Series, should have put Dijakovic in his place. I will say despite what I said, if the job was to try and establish guys like Priest long term via that Survivor Series...yeah, they didn't do great with that. They have time, though.

I hated him in ROH, so that "stink" hasn't washed off for me yet. I see everyone talking about how great he is but I just don't see it. I think he's average in the ring, and I think that entrance that everyone thinks is cool is lame. He's pointing an invisible bow and arrow at a screen that then has writing in flames. Now if he actually shot a flaming arrow into his name spelled out in lighter fluid, THAT would be cool.

ROH didn’t really give him anything to work with, and his presentation was pretty shitty. It’s hard to really set the world on fire when you’re stuck in a story with Kevin Sullivan, BJ Whitmer, and Steve Corino. I remember thinking that he, Lio Rush, and Dijak were the three best prospects ROH had at a time, and they’ve all ended up in NXT.

I like him, he's like Lone Wolf Baron Corbin except actually cool. They might have to turn him face eventually.

His presentation is on point. I wanna see him challenge for that NA Title when it's time.

That'll take him places for sure.

I would not be surprised if Nakamura makes his way to NXT for his last stand once this IC title run is done and Mania passes There is no doubt Nakamura loves his surfing and I think spending more time in Florida and with the family is probably up his alley Get him a nice coaching job too and he is set

One day. Priest and Big Dog will share the yard. But then, ... ... there will be a bone to pick!

I wasn’t familiar with him due to not watching ROH, nor am I one of those people that hate smaller guys, but there’s something about seeing him versus Dijakovic that seems exciting.
There’s something great about watching those two go at it in contrast to Cole/Gargano/Ciampa.

He’s fine, but he’s basically Baron Corbin with better “workrate” and yet a worse move set.

I just don’t see it. Nothing I’ve seen screams future star but I thought that about Ciampa and I was very wrong.
