He's not the typical dude from the indies who shows up with crazy moves.

He's rock solid in the ring (ie: a good hand) and in crazy good shape (especially for his age). It's boring at its worst but he's the type of guy you can always use. I'm happy for him basically stumbling into the whole glorious thing. He's not gonna mess it up since he has a gang of experience headlining even if it was in tna. He's good and he can headline these nxt shows and help other folks along.
