I thought English isn't his first language? So I think he's a little uncomfortable talking. Not sure though.
I'd be surprised if it wasn't, he never sounded like he was speaking a second language and his accent was one of the thinnest South African accents I have ever heard, it only really seemed noticeable with certain words.

Maybe he's not good enough on the mic? I really wish they'd push their smaller guys more, it might actually be good for business. Do the WCW thing, get people excited by opening with some Cruiserweights, maybe the first couple matches, then they'll be hot for the bigger guys.
I can't remember what his promos were like but it's not that big of a problem even if he wasn't very strong as what I meant was I was surprised he wasn't being used in a kind of Kofi/Bourne role where he wouldn't necessarily speak much but would consistently have matches on television because he's interesting to watch in the ring.

Come to think of it he and Slater seem to have almost dissapeared completely from Raw/Smackdown which I think is a shame, I thought they were both doing well in the roles they had and were performing at a very acceptable standard considering their time spent and experience level within WWE. They both looked like bright prospects for the future.

...That and I marked for Gabriels zebra print every time.

Gabriel definitely confirmed Afrikaans is his first language, but I don't remember if he struggles with English at all anymore.

Well Slater's coming off suspension and Gabriel actually got a win on Smackdown last week. They could both use real angles at the moment, but I'd say their outlook isn't better or worse than that of any typical midcarder at the moment. Considering they basically reset Barrett, rather than working off his Nexus momentum, I'm honestly surprised we're seeing as much of Slater/Gabriel as we are now.

Someone has to tell me this, though. How the gently caress does Lance Storm run a bookclub without having a firm hold on grammar? He makes so many grammatical mistakes, and it's like I get that he generally reads mysteries and banal poo poo, but you surely have to pick up the basics through sheer osmosis.

Dusty really does have the best Twitter. Remember the rumor about him doing a nude scene in a movie for some reason?







So... I THINK he's saying at his age you can't go around with your jumbo (cock) out. Also, he congratulates himself for the jokes. This guy is amazing.

Based on every single shoot video from someone who was in JCW, NWA, WCW and that one chapter in Foley's "have a nice day," Dusty really can't be speaking from experience.

I really want a youtube show with Dweam N' Dem Boys. I just feel like watching Dusty crack up while the Briscoes put buckets over their heads and smack each other with bats, the boys getting wasted while Dream chases chickens around, everything they do would be gold. The three of them visiting BSR and competing in Target Shooting on ATVs.

This alone would sell the WWE channel, actually.

I think it's people who could be getting called up soon. Ambrose and Rollins are scheduled to start going on the road soon I believe (probably to do dark matches), Sandow had a dark match against Yoshi Tatsu on the Smackdown tapings, Kruger's had dark matches recently as well and I don't really picture Cesaro staying down in FCW for a long time plus he's (kayfabe) been cutting promos saying that he won't be in FCW long.
