>>16944050top tier match layout. his stuff tends to make more sense than most of his peers', even when it's more logical on paper than in execution due to his worsening sloppiness. knows how to guide an audience into the match, keeps them participating, which kind of makes him better at being a heel than a babyface. gets his emotions across very well. good seller. basically what
>>16944154said. the orton match at mania and his jeff hardy matches showcase this very well.
but man is he unathletic. had and still has one of the worst sprints in the biz. he was generally alright pre-break, he had enough bounce that he could keep up with the generally slower pace of wrestling back then, but he has not been too great since his return, especially in wwe. he's clearly blown up by the fifth minute of the match, and he clearly cannot do too much work. a lot of his work now is built around punches and kicks, which is a pretty bad bet for the guy who got so ridiculed for his lackluster strikes in mma.
the best thing he could do is be an IRL shitposter, which is exactly why i loved his last aew matches a lot. dude's a riot when he turns his cunty personality on.
