So far they’ve been a bore for me. Almost prefer him just standing there ominously as Harland, and that wasn’t enjoyable either.

I don’t see whatever Tony Khan sees in the guy but we’ll see how it goes.
What they should probably do is give him a mini undefeated streak - 15 wins or so to equal wherever HOOK is at then feed him to HOOK in an FTW defence advertised as ‘someone’s 0 has to go’ type deal. If he’s pushed as a monster then he’d be a credible threat to beating HOOK. Hell, recreate the Taz/Bigelow through the ring spot even if you want to protect him in the loss. After that send him to ROH to develop.

He came across as someone pretending to be tough. Just didn’t click at all for me. He’s green though so maybe in a few months.

He moves very well in the ring for his size so there's potential there but he's miles away from being "ready".
He's opposite ends of the green as grass pro wrestler spectrum to Gable Stevenson. Both have the athleticism but with the personality aspect one is trying way, way too hard and other barely looks like he's trying at all 😂
Edit: my typo has oddly pointed out they both have last names that make you automatically want to pronounce them incorrectly.
Steveson = Stevenson Boudreaux = Bordeaux

And I think Ari is a good pairing for him. It's only week one though on TV so they'll have time to grow.

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.
Very necessary there, I watched the video of the attack and Sonny's run-in and Boudreau did this literally every spot. 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 ?) It's tough to have a cohesive look with a dude with Slim J's look in your faction. Similar color schemes, perhaps?
