I don't want to make fun of someone's biology. But would you believe that he is actually older than Theory? Is he going to look and sound like a teen his whole life? I mean Rey is almost 50, looks and sounds like a teen so probably. In Jericho's first book, he tells the story of Art Barr coming back to their room in Mexico with a child in tow. Art is "f*** this and f*** that" and pulls out a joint...Jericho loses his mind, "Art, not in front of a kid!!! And why the f*** are you hanging out with a kid anyway?" It was 18 year old Rey.

He’s crap, man. When he came in during the lockdown, it was like “aw. Father son. That’s sweet”. He hasn’t improved. He’s actually just actively bad. No charisma. No mic skills. His look is currently that of a early 20s stoner who decides to get a mullet and wear an ill fitting body suit. The dislike is warranted, he has no place on a main roster wrestling show. So, it’s Rey, as people have brought up. Which is ironic cause A.) Dom’s sandbagging his Dad. B.) The correct thing (at this point) would be to let the kid do his own thing in some sort of developmental to see if progress occurs w/o Rey around. His future might be a bit up in the air. Vince wanted to keep Rey happy as he pops the crowd and sells a few masks but would HHH and co really care? Really hope so but..Rey’s a huge name and sells merch, so..and they definitely don’t want him as a free agent.

Noelle Foley wanted to be a wrestler, but it seems between her health and total lack of ability, she isn't going to ever do that...but imagine if Mick insisted and she still did....that's Dominik.

You hate Kairi? That's illegal, isn't it? God, she’s infuriating with that stupid pirate nonsense. I wanted to put a foot through my TV when she had the title in a treasure chest. (Kabuki Warriors Kairi was… fine) You gonna hate on her for legitimately liking Yachting?

I don't even know where they could begin to fix him. His look's not great, I was tired of Rey like 20 years ago, and he's stagnated in wrestling ability. Probably would've done him some good to stay in NXT for awhile, get a character away from his father. *shrug*

One of the biggest things is presentation. Like, honestly, they'd probably be better off with him with new gear, get him a mask, etc. It's not like he's bad looking, exactly, but a mask would at least give him a certain something.
Additionally, I understand that Rey wants to curate Dominik's training, but he's plateaued with him. He needs different experiences. NXT would help, but beyond that, just, working with guys that aren't Rey would do him some good. If they did house shows, he'd be someone who could benefit from that, but they don't really do that much these days, do they?
Lastly, he honestly would probably be someone who'd benefit from not being in WWE for a few years. In AEW, Brian Pillman Jr's having his own problems of kind of being stuck in a rut, so in a perfect world, they could somehow trade them, but I get that Rey and Pillman Jr would both not be keen on that, the latter since I think he still understandably has issues with how WWE handled his dad's passing, the former due to Rey's protectiveness.
I don't even dislike Dominik, I think he can be somebody, but you can't expect anything out of him if he's just going to keep doing the same shit.

I completely forgot about the Cain Velasquez thing with Rey being his buddy. As in, it was erased from my mind until watching that back. Also- Dominick looks like Manny from Modern Family trying to be a wrestler.

He was fast tracked onto TV less than a year after he started training. Only other FT wrestler I can think was fast tracked to TV and pushed heavily in that timeframe is Jade Cargill who has a sports background (basketball) and 90% of her matches take place on the taped show so it can be edited. Dana Brook I think got called up with a similar amount of training but she's been an enhancement talent for most of her career.
He's probably learnt a few things on the job and at only 25 could have a strong career if he has another 6-12 months at the PC but if not he's going to go the way of David Flair.

My main problem is he still hasn't found a single move that isn't in Rey's moveset.
If I'm most people why would I care about Dominik when he's just doing Rey's stuff with less skill while looking and being presented worse?

Everybody down on Dom now...watch, he later has a solo run as a heel and he is amazing at it. I'm neutral on him personally, but I could see it happening. Start off his heel run by recreating WCW Nitro 1996 with his father and Dom playing Kevin Nash. Now, I have this image of Dominik throwing his father into the side of the production truck like a lawn-dart. That just sounds awkward.

I mean Rey is almost 50, looks and sounds like a teen so probably. Rey’s voice is still high but there was a recent unmasked pic of him (I think at Andrade/Charlotte’s wedding) and he definitely has a “Did a few years upstate” look to him now.
