How do we feel about Solo?

[ChitownKnight]

I know wwe wants to make him a big deal, but I just don’t see him as a main event talent at the current moment. He doesn’t really have the personality like his brothers/cousin but maybe that will come with time

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

He's fine for the role he's in. I was kinda hoping that invoking so much of the Umaga stuff for his own act would click more than it has, but... You know, there's no rush. I'd be interested in to see where things end up for him once the main arc of The Bloodline is done (Reigns as the long-running world champion).

[Jedi-El of Tomorrow]

I liked it. Thought it was a good heist movie. Donald Glover was great as Lando (no shock there), the Kessel Run was damn good, and Alden Ehrenreich did a good job as young Han (nobody would be able to replicate Harrison Ford).

Oh, you mean the wrestler. I like him, he's been used a hell of a lot better on the main roster than he was in NXT. Although it was always funny that for some reason Solo had Hogan in the 80s popularity with the PC crowd.

[Mozenrath]

I feel like he's on the right track, but that he's definitely new and unproven. I can easily see him winning the US title sometime, etc, and maybe getting a title shot on one of the lesser PLEs/PPVs, or hell, a Royal Rumble in a year or two given how that tends to be when they run filler title defenses, but if we're talking moving to the top level, I'd need to see more from him before I can buy that.

[Lizuka #BLM]

He's pretty firmly in the realm of, "I don't really have anything against him but I also have yet to be given the slightest bit of a reason to especially care about him."

[Nosnorb]

Dude is an inspiration. Getting on to the main roster after his dad gave up on then abandoned him and having to spend years on the streets, and now the heir apparent to Roman, what a story.

[hashtagdaley/JudasDay]

Dude is worse than either of the good Usos in every way. Look, presence, in-ring, charisma both physical and spoken. He’s terrible.

[Chiral]

I liked him as that guy in the background that just kinda stands there but I find him so incredibly boring when he does literally anything else lmao and you can just feel his push is gonna hit megapush level relatively soon

[UN PLOMBIER NIGHTMARE #blm]

I was a really big Umaga fan so I'm naturally going to be a bit biased but I like him a lot. Him being quiet and when he does speak having THAT voice, there's something to that. Hard to give too much of a shit about him for now however when he is stuck permanently in the Bloodline stuff that I was over a year ago though.

[Big DSR Energy]

He's just a guy.

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

Right now he's really just there

He's not gonna be anything until he turns on Roman, that's definitely the plan, and given they let him destroy Cena they clearly see him as a future big time star, but as it stands right now, he doesn't really have anything to latch onto other then being the heavy of the Bloodline

I wish they let him interact with Sami more.

[simplydurhamcalling]

He's okay but he's nowhere near ready for the turn/Batista push with Roman, that feels like it's at least a year+ away.

Glover kind of sucked; Alden was surprisingly good; The movies too dark, look wise.

I like him, there’s definitely potential. Probably just needs seasoning.

My feelings on Solo

[Friday Night SmackOwn]

No matter how we feel about Solo, we’ll never aspire to be as much as haters of Solo as a Korean wrestling community that voted Solo for just about every “worst” category in 2023.

First I've heard of this.

[Baldobomb-22-OH-MAN!!!]

He's just there. The appendix of the Bloodline.

[clc]

As he is currently presented. I don't like him at all.

Someone on a forum somewhere said this about Solo:
"He is boring, unathletic, and too small to be the brute they are trying to make him out to be"

I think it's a perfect succinct summary of Solo.

When that happens, they should do the same thing that they did with Dave. Have him outsmart Roman and be wise to him and Paul each and every time and out power them.

The only thing is will he have the charisma to pull it off.

[HIM]

He's dope. I'm just waiting for them to pull the trigger on elevating him.
