ive been fairly impressed with him so far, for a big guy his fast his got some good moves and with a lil help here and there he will be a big time player in a few years time.
What Is it with Heyman?

Like any other big guy in the WWE, he concentrates on power offence and misses the subtelties that make a great wrestler, such as selling your opponents moves, working with the other guy in terms of psychology and he knows no submission holds.

OK fair enough, you don't need to master this style, but every wrestler worth his salt has at least one submission hold in his arsenal, Triple H has the Indian Death-lock, The Rock has the Sharp-shooter, Undertaker the dragon-sleeper etc. Without some degree of technical holds the constant barrage of power-moves just gets tedious.

Nope apparently all it takes now is to be tall, be big, look good and be able to talk on a mic and hey presto!! Instant main event material, also banging the boss' daughter doesn't hurt your career either :-D
