Anyone else think he plays the creepy bastard role REALLY well? I'm digging this guy.

I like the role he is playing, he does it well. I am not totally sold on his mic skills yet though. He seems to be a bit uncomfortable about his lines and it does hurt the character a bit in terms of selling it to the fans, they seem to be not that connected to the storyline so far.

I'm not sure exactly where they're gonna go with the story or how much longevity it has, but he's really thrown himself into the role of Creeper and plays it pretty well. It's the kind of thing that would usually have someone like me rolling his eyes, but his vignette's and segments have all been solid.

Last night was the first time I saw this guy and all I can say is somebody should check his backyard and basement for bodies.

I actually think him being uncomfortable and not having the most confidence in the world enhances the character, not hurts it.

I think he's really creepy and awkward. Like Dexter but less confidence. He does the job well, I'm just not sure if this kind of character will have success in the wrestling world.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking yesterday too. He may not be very good on the mic or in the ring yet they've found the perfect character for him given his limitations. And I love that his finisher is a choke hold from behind :lol

I think he's playing the character really well, I love the "Creepy Bastard" chants he's been getting.

He is pretty damn good yeah.

Makes me think of what Johnny Curtis gimmick from NXT could have evolved into if it was brought up instead of Fandango.

A youtube show sells Johnny's character so well


Shaw could do with being a little better in the ring before getting a storyline with this much attention, but the mic battles he'll have with Anderson in this upcoming feud should be pretty darn good, even if Anderson does most of the talking
