Jesus.

If I ever have to fight again I pray to god this joint is playing in my ears. I'm talking anyone or anything- people, zombies, aliens, robot dinosaurs from the future, the vampire ghost of Richard Nixon, you name it. You square up on me while I can hear this joint I'm pretty sure I'll be so hype on that SS5 Vegeta tip that the whole planet might be in danger.

And that's how I see AB. Frankly I’m just as marked out for him as I was for Swag. The entire presentation of him is so badass.

I realize I'm gushing with all this high praise but hear me out. Up to this point the WWE presentation of badass has been largely of the “Juiced Up Jock” variety. Batista, Brock, Goldberg, Rock. Austin was an outlier but instead of going for that kind of outlaw Vince opted for a generic lifted truck, cock-rock listening type.

AB comes across like a child of the best qualities of Orton + Punk sans the WWE corporate sanitization, and I mean that in the most glowing terms possible,. I realize how people react to comparisons like that but this is limited to the cloth of their aesthetic and demeanor, not in terms of drawing power, marketability, etc.

I’m just saying he’s a genuinely exciting prospect. I’ve shown a few friends who were equally intrigued, but aside from PU I’m surprised I didn’t see more of that in here.
