At this rate I'm expecting Eric Escobar and Yoshi Tatsu to return. I liked the latter's action figure adventures on Twitter when he was still in WWE.

Taven's a perfectly good hand who can go beyond that at times; the amount of hate he gets tends to be a silly and more than a bit overwrought, but there's no denying that booking him to win at MSG wasn't the right move (though, looking back, I guess booking Scurll to win wasn't the move, either!).
So yeah, he wouldn't be coming in to run straight to the top or anything, but he'd be solid in the midcard/tag scene, certainly.

My thought on Taven is basically thr same as my thought on Mike Bennett. He's fine but much like his tag partner his ceiling isn't as high as some promoters want it to be.

Anyone give a rundown of what he’s like as a talent? Imagine if Luke Gallows was smaller and could wrestle perfectly fine, but had negative charisma.

Any day now there will be a headline "WWE interested in Takeshita and Bandido"

Seriously I like Karl Anderson way more than Gallows and always have but that's like dead on LMAO Also I never ever agree with this when it's said about Gunther cause dude literally looks like the finely chiseled God of Austria who knows more about Backwoods flavors than his own family, but oh my god Karl Anderson looked so much more threatening with the sorta chubby old school wrestler bod like 10 years ago. Dude's fake AJ Styles long tights look when he first showed up in WWE was so bad. Even just wrestling in trunks again would fix most of it but I swear the last time I saw him like *this year* dude was still in those shitty tights.

Matt Taven was the Justin Credible of ROH. He'd probably be fine as a midcard gatekeeper or working in a tag team with Bennett but he seems like a signing just for the sake of signing him.

Decent enough in the ring, but I find his character and promos cringeworthy. He's a tag team/mid-card champion at best, really. Better or worse than Mike Bennett and Shawn Spears? Better than both Worse than Matt Cardona

Any day now there will be a headline "WWE interested in Takeshita and Bandido" Even as someone who wants both guys in AEW, this would be nature healing. WWE being interested in Takeshita or Bandido are easy no-brainer news pieces where even if they go nowhere, they indicate that the interest machine is working right and that people have eyes.

They put a hat on Trevor Lee and it made him one of the best characters in the place.

"AEW is running an angle where Jericho will go through former ROH champs? Well then, we'll hire the best ones before they do! Now who won the title at the New Japan crossover show? Surely he must be the best one, right?"

I've seen Grimes outside of Impact, and he was way more entertaining on the indies and now in WWE compared to most of his Impact run where he just scowled intensely while having Shane Helms in a Slimer jacket manage him.

This title-to-post letdown is steeper than if you advertised "former Van Halen frontman" and it was Gary Cherone. I dunked on Van Halen III on Twitter this very week! We should be friends
