Thoughts on Erick Rowan?

[OmegaK2099]

I actually like him, he wrestles an old school Big Man style (X pac Spin Kick aside) But he gets sh1t done

and his theme everytime it hits

I thought they couldve booked him in a spot match ala (shane vs steve blackman) at WM with J and J security

 

[luckyse7enz]

Big Show/Kane Jr. with a splash of Irish Roadkill. Not GREAT, but necessary.

Not a huge fan of him because he's kind of bland to me, but he can work pretty well for a big guy.

May get some interesting matches out of him they mix him in with a Sheamus or a Cesaro. I could see a Harper/Sheamus/Cesaro/Rowan match being pretty good.

 

[OmegaK2099]

at least give him a main event spot on smackdown against rollins,

 

[Killer Instinct]

He can improve in the ring, but with the limited mic time he's gotten, he's proven to be serviceable.
He's a big guy. Not as agile as Luke, but he can surprise you (Booker T roundhouse kick, anybody?)
He & Harper should be being groomed to replace Show/Kane.
A few character tweaks and a midcard run for a year or so and revisit his progress.
Guy can work as either a face or heel in the upper-midcard, but they're going to need to stop making him look like a joke with the booking.
If that means sending him back down to NXT to develop further or sticking him solely on Smackdown, so be it.
He'll never be a huge draw but he has long term potential that they should at least attempt to tap into.

 

[Silkk]

I have none

 

[El Guapo]

He should've wrestled with the sheep mask on when the Wyatts came up?

 

[OmegaK2099]

I'm sure he'll get his turn when bray Wyatt first wins his first title match, he could be like the outcast/perry Saturn of the newly reformed Wyatt family like he takes all their abuse then decides to fight back

 

[ZackMorris]

He's decent. His ceiling to me is a solid midcarder. Kinda surprised when he first did that spinkick for a big man

Only have 2 minor gripes with him. Get rid of the theme. It sounds dope but I keep expecting a Kaientai member to come out and The theme is FLAC next gen audio format status.

He also has a weird ass walk.

 

[MushroomX]

Solid Midcard. He should be what Kane is now, big serviceable body. Although unlike Kane who eats pins each match, Rowan should be viewed strong enough to hold his own.

 

[Reggie]

He can be a mid card champion eventually but that's if they don't bury him like they seem to be doing. They should have kept him and Harper together when the Wyatt family broke up and just let them wreck havoc as a team. They were on fire in the matches against the Usos and they should have had a run with the tag team titles last year. After this singles run that I think is destined to fail I think he should just come back as a guy who just wants to kick some ass and reunite with Luke. They can be the resident monster heel wrestlers for the next few years as long as they are booked strong and given clean wins over decent comp from time to time.

 

[Pinyapplesuckas]

he got stomped out like a little hoe by Big Show

he aint bad tho. they aint got nothin for him right now

 

[Kang Deezy]

They really should just put him in a tag team for now, he should have never left bray

I get that luke Harper was too good to be in a team but they had potential

Funny thing is he'd probably be a top guy in NXT right now

 

[Black White Sox Hat]

Comes off as too soft for his size imo.

 

[ADK]

Dude comes out to Grandmaster Sexay levels of silence. Should let him get more mic time and segments tho showing his smarts.
