I am not to keen on Abyss, I honestly thought he was better when he was teaming with Foley, a tag team that they should've made full time in my opinion. So I am inclined to agree that he's the wrong person to push these days.
AJ on the other hand is rather good, I preffered him as a face champion though, rather than being mini Flair, he does look a bit of a fucking goon these days, then again, I rather hope thats the point. As a way to get people to turn on him. Ric Flair hasnt been cool in centuries after all. As far as having no charisma goes Ive gotta disagree, he's not especially hilarious on the mic but his promo's always came across well, and he was good at hyping things, he has that natural charisma of a guy you want to cheer, or possibly boo, he provokes a reaction anyway. Sadly nowadays he just shouts and says "WOO" a lot.
