There was definitely a long bit of time when Mr NXT himself, Johnny Gargano became pretty unbearable. The long ass feud with Ciampa. The first failed heel turn. The continued feud with Ciampa. The underwhelming Final Beat Cinematic.
But since Johnny’s fully embraced his idiot dumbass inner self, he’s been great. Starting with those goofy dinner vignettes with his cup as a centerpiece, and it’s only gotten better from there.
I love guys who aren’t afraid to make themselves look like jackasses. Honestly, I didnt think Johnny had it in him. I thought he would be one of those guys that took himself too seriously to make an ass of himself every week. But he’s been great. Definitely the freshest he’s felt in a long long while, and I’m loving it.

I'm Johnny Gargano and I'm the biggest idiot ever

Only a couple people might agree with me (and that's if I'm lucky), but I find heel Gargano much more entertaining than babyface Gargano (not that he wasn't a great babyface at one time).

I can see why some people went off Gargano, but the match quality since he and Ciampa split has been exceptional and for me he has been one of the absolute best things out of NXT. I'll admit, the second fued with Ciampa probably wasn't necessary in hindsight, but I've always been a fan of his work and this hammed up version of himself is great stuff.

Nowadays it's so hard to be an entertaining heel and make people want to see you get your ass kicked, but Gargano, McAfee, and Grimes pull it off. Then again, it helps that they're also going up against entertaining babyfaces (what a concept!)

I’m probably the one person on here who isn’t a fan. He looks like somebody I’d make in Create-a-wrestler on any wwe game that has the feature. He go in the ring but he is just so freaking bland to me. The only thing about him that sticks out to me is his wife

I love the new character, but I miss the old themee I've grown to like the new theme, it is a banger in its own right but his original face theme is a classic and should be brought back whenever he does go face again

HHH: I'm going need you to ham it up as much as people Gargano: Say less fam Doesn't surprise me he has this in him. On the HBK/Angle rivalries session he was on it and loved the Sexy Kurt (as we all do) rendition

The music becomes more and more of a mood whiplash the more comedic the character gets. He should be coming out to Maverick and Dain’s whistling theme, not this dark rock thing.

I feel like it works in that it reflects Johnny's vision of himself. Does this Johnny Gargano see himself as a doofus dweeb like we do, or does he see himself as an unstoppable malevolent force not to be reckoned with?

That’s a fantastic point that I didn’t think of, and wether it’s intentional or not that’s now my head canon and the act is even better now.

I still can't even tell you how his new theme sounds and he's had it for a little while now.

This is what the initial dinner party vingettes were trying to convey....the normal ordinary colorful life is how they saw themselves perfect and unfailable but then it would kick to black n white to convey what they really were meaining and how they really are.

Except he still IS unbearable, even worse than his face run. And I've had more than enough of him hogging the NA title already.
