>>18332113>>18332316100% agreed. He's been the most underwhelming world champion they've had so far, and the passes that he gets for his subpar bs are genuinely frustrating, because you just know that they're enabling him to keep doing the same old lazy shit instead of questioning the logic of his work. His character, without the lucky anchors that were Hangman and Nana, has no real direction whatsoever. He never really sells what he is supposed be, whether that's being a ''mogul'' (lame ass), a champion, a threat, a family man, or what have you. Nor does he sell what happens to his character, besides doing a bit of mean-mugging. He doesn't have any bars for a rapper. Shit, 2008 MVP was a better gangsta-lite character than he is.
His moveset sucks because it very clearly depends on a lot of cooperation from his opponents, with some diabolical timing issues when it comes to setting it up, and I don't think he's adapted too well to the added mass he's taken in.
Him and Seth being over tell you all you need to know about the crowd's middling standards of what it takes to be a ''top guy''.
