Fucking Hostile
I agree for the most part, however, I still feel it is a bit early to judge his in ring prowess, after all we have hardly seen him in the ring during his short career. We have really only seen one good length match from him where he has had an opportunity to really show off his skills, that match being vs. Cena at Bragging Rights and that happened to be a very good match. All of the other matches we have seen him in have been short (10 minute maximum) matches on either NXT or RAW, which is really not enough to make a fair judgment on his skills inside the ring.
However from what we have seen of him though I would say that he is good for what he is meant to be, an intimidating, high impact, brawler. He is not supposed to be the next Ric Flair he is supposed to be a big guy that will scare the shit out of you when you look at him and then beat the fuck out of you in the ring and he does exactly that. He also has a reasonably original big man move set, even incorporating a top rope (ok second rope, but work with me) elbow. Aside from that he sells well, plays to the crowd (and more often than not gets a great response) and he seems to have reasonable psychology. He is a good wrestler and will certainly improve with time, keeping in mind he has been on Raw about 6 months (give or take) so he is still a bit green.
