This is rather harsh. You seem to be very cynical and mean spirited in this thread, where you pretend to be far more understanding and forgiving in other threads (mostly ones that have to do with TNA). Creed wasn't any worse in the ring then a great deal of other TNA talents. Creed also wasn't as bland as a great deal of the TNA roster (Generation Me, Brian Kendrick, Rob Terry, Hernandez, Kazarian, and the list goes on and on). In fact, Creed could talk better and had more charisma then a lot of current TNA wrestlers, proven by his time on TNAtion TV with So Cal Val, which I'm quite surprised you seem to have forgotten.
So? Who says I don't think they're equally as personality-less and boring? Terry, Hernandez, etc. are all incredibly boring wrestlers. Doesn't make Creed any better a talent.
Of course Creed didn't do much in TNA during his time, and you're entirely free to have your poor opinion of him as he is NOW and was in the past. But Creed's a young guy, he's inexperienced, and he has a whole wrestling career in front of him. With more training, more time to hone all his skills and develop those he lacks in, and with the potential he does have right now, including with the experience he has based off being on television and being in a bigger company, the guys got nothing but potential for WWE to mold into something in the future. I don't see how that can be a bad thing, or a bad pick up for WWE.
Oh, of
course he didn't because its TNA, right? They fuck
everything up, yeah?
Creed only got a job with TNA because he was best friends with AJ Styles, who vouched for him. Fact. He's not nearly as talented, or chock full of potential as you're making him out to be. He's a marginal lower-mid-card wrestler something few companies have difficulty following. The WWE already owns a glut of them in Chavo Guerrero, Kozlov, Regal, anyone in Nexus not named Barrett, etc.[/QUOTE]

Gotta love TNA fans talking about "cast-offs." Especially when they come up with a list of only three names and one of those names, R Truth, is a former US champion and currently one of the most over guys in the entire company.
You obviously didn't catch the joke in the cast-offs comment at all, and R-Truth sucks. I don't care how many times he says "What's Up!?", they all mean as much as every guitar Jarrett smashed over anyones head. No one buys PPV's or tunes into SmackDown or RAW to see Ron Killings, so I have no idea who you're trying to kid me, the rest of this forum, or yourself with a statement like that. Killings was an NWA World Heavyweight Champion, too, and that means dick in his lackluster career, just as the US Championship does.
How's TNA enjoying the shit that is Brian Kendrick, Orlando Jordan, Shannon Moore, Tomko, and Matt Morgan?
Tomko was one half of one of the best tag-teams in the last five years for that company with AJ Styles, Morgan is incredibly over and a future WHC, Moore is part of one of the most popular throw-together tag teams the company has pinned and Jordan and Kendrick I can do without.
Moving on to Consequences Creed I think he has a lot of potential. The guy is only 23 years old and has plenty of time to improve both in the ring and on the mic. The fact that he is already good in the ring and has tons of charisma is just an added bonus. He could become a solid mid card guy in the WWE.
Talent is talent. You're born with it or you're not you can't teach someone to be talented, only how better to use it in the event they have it. Consequences Creed does not own very much talent, so best of luck getting him past your lower-mid-card or cruiserweight (presuming it's ever brought back) divisions ain't gonna happen.

This should be interesting. Creed will definitely draw some of the TNA fans who love Creed over to WWE. From what I saw from him, he was a good wrestler and had good mic skills. We just have to see now if he'll get the treatment like most others who come from TNA, or will he get a good start.
No, he won't. He would have had to have had fans in the first place in order to do so, which he didn't, so he won't.

Of course I forgive you. We're still e-freinds.
Thumbs up.
But at 23, I think it is way to early to make an assessment on him, as most wrestlers don't come into their own until their mid to late 20s.
Granted, but if you are born bereft of talent, you aren't going to suddenly develop it. Creed might be serviceable, but he's far from talented.
They can't bat a thousand, but there is no denying their ability to "create" personalities, or help people tap into their inner charismatic self. Not having much of a "personality" at 23 years old based off what little we've really seen from him in TNA isn't a good enough reason to try to say people shouldn't have optimism about this signing. The "E" has pulled many rabbits out of the hat, by taking one promotions trash and turning it into a complete treasure.
You were the one saying they didn't have trouble getting around guys without personality I was just proving how wrong that theory is.
TNA has done plenty of the same, by the way see D'Angelo Dinero and Matt Morgan for proof of that.

Don't worry, he'll have plenty of time to get seasoned in FCW. There's a lot of raw talent that he possesses, and I'm sure whatever ring work of his is "loose" will get tightened up down there. Personally, I think he's a future superstar. No wonder why TNA let him go.
Prepare to be royally disappointed. Consequences Creed is like a first-round draft pick turned bust. I'd love to be proven wrong by him in the future, though, so hopefully one of us can remember this post by then.
Oh, you mean R-Truth, the serviceable upper midcarder that is hugely over with the fans? The guy who has been very valuable to the WWE since coming back? Or Vance Archer, who has been in some decent tag matches since teaming up with Curt Hawkins?
Using "Vance Archer" in any sentence when talking about success... talk about championing mediocrity!
I think Creed will be the "Indy Guy" for Season 3 of NXT (if it happens), and I'm sure he'll be a standout (sure, he'll get a shitty name like Apollo Weathers and The Great Khali will be his pro, but that's beside the point). I think he's really impressive in the ring. He'll only get better. He's only 24 years old and has a lot of charisma. He can still easily be molded into something big. Great pickup for the WWE.
And he'll be one of the early ones to be voted off the show, I'd imagine, as well.
