I will say this. Seeing the highlights from Rampage, he does a crisp Ore Ga Taue.

He's young and still really green. Has a lot of potential though. Let him develop at one of the AEW-affiliated schools and get reps on Dark and see if he can reach that potential. He and Sonny Kiss could be a fun team too.

TK needs to cool it with the signings. He already has trouble featuring the ridiculously talented roster he already has in TV consistently.

Some mentioned that Sonny and Parker could a be like "Beauty and the Beast" type of team.

Discount Brock, indeed, and I can't say I like his forced intensity (I don't remember who mentioned people "playing" pro wrestlers instead of "being" pro wrestlers, but he fits that bill for me).
Then again, it doesn't help that the Trustbusters don't work as a faction for me, they're just a mess, random guys that don't have a cohesive theme, look or logic to them.
(and how many "pretentious prick with money recruits a bunch of other random wrestlers to create a heel faction" gimmicks can we have at the same time, really ?)

This dude wrestles like he’s a monster, all while looking like a short, soft douche bag. I don’t understand it at all.

He's All Elite. The rest of the guys in his group, not so much.

I will say this. Seeing the highlights from Rampage, he does a crisp Ore Ga Taue. And it's such a great move: easy to make it look bad-ass, hard to injure your opponent with it. Unfortunately, I can't see him keeping the naming convention. "I am Bourdreaux" doesn't really have the same vibe.

He is the exact type of wrestler that I find as dull as watching paint dry, but I'm not going to hold that against him. He'll serve a purpose in the Trustbusters as the muscle and real threat of the group and we'll see how he improves.

You have Andrade doing the rich asshole thing, Garcia being the cocky guy in a vest. I'll see Sonny Kiss and thing they'd be better off in the baddies. I can't stand the actual Brock I don't want a budget version. Every single one of them instantly makes me think of a better alternative which is often inevitable but don't highlight it by putting them in a stable together. At least he seems an upgrade on Hager. Maybe Jericho can swap them one day everyone pretends nothing has changed.

It's tough to have a cohesive look with a dude with Slim J's look in your faction.

My thing is that he’s a bit too…..extra? If that can be a thing? Lol
Like he’ll do a shoulder block and then go WAAAAAGHHH BLAAAAHH!! Jumping around and screaming afterwards

Thats the job of the coaches backstage to help him correct his flaws.

I think fans should have patience with him, he has 8 months of experience as a wrestler so far. I agree with this. For 8 months experience at 23 I think there's both tremendous potential as well as a current presence there that makes him worth putting on television and the Trustbusters a must-watch part of the show. EDIT: Gang, the gimmick is that they're self-aware trust fund jerks. Slim J having a look from 20 years ago, Davari having the tone and choice of wording to seem grandiose in terms of vision but believably capable to do *something* instead of just blowing smoke, and having Sonny as someone potentially with a chip on their shoulder for being overlooked (one of those "they have a point" heels) - I like the Trust Busters a lot. There's something unique and logical there.

That oddly sounds fun. Maybe Parker could develop decently from that.

This dude is comparable in size to Brock but Brock looks way bigger. It’s bizarre.

Disappointed they didn't go for Sparkling Boudreaux.
