I just watched SD and i must say Umaga talking seems like a horrible idea to me. He is one character who worked absolutely perfectly before and did not need to have this 'human characteristic'. It makes him seem less monster-like. Im not a fan of them having umaga speak, it doesnt work and takes away from his character.
What about the rest of you, is umaga speaking a thumbs up or thumbs down?

Thumbs down. Same reason I can't stand kane anymore. I always thought he was so menacing and scary when he didn't talk. Much like Michael Myers or Jason but then he started talking and totally killed the scare factor for me.

Whered u watch it?? Ill have to hear him speak before i decide, if its straight up english it will be dumb, but if its broken english it might be ok. Like if he comes out and says "CM Punk, Im challenging u to a Samoan Strap Match at Extreme Rules", that would be weird. Thumbs down. Same reason I can't stand kane anymore. I always thought he was so menacing and scary when he didn't talk. Much like Michael Myers or Jason but then he started talking and totally killed the scare factor for me. I liked Kane when he first started speaking, when he had to use the voicebox, that creeped me out so bad when i was a kid.  |

He spoke clear normal English, it was completely stupid... He did exactly as you said after attacking punk. |

Thumbs down. He is always so menacing, and with talking, you kinda lose part of your edge. But Kane never ruind himself by talking. Sometimes talking menacinly is the key.

Thumbs down for sure. I didn't even see it yet and I know it's a bad idea. Monsters talking always takes away from their character. They should have kept Armando, I swear to god...

I like it when someone doesn't speak. Lesnar was way scarier before he spoke as well. Kane lost some of the mastic that he had after he starting speaking. Same for Batista but to a lesser extent. So I don't see why the would do it for Umaga?

If he speaks like he did before WM23 to Batista then i think it'll be alright  but if he speaks pure english like he would backstage, then it's ruined Youmanga |

I think it's great and will give Umaga a chance to add another dimension to his character.
Kane wasn't ruined by talking...Kane was ruined by unmasking and crappy storylines.

If he doesn't have a manager he needs to speak to develop his character.

I might be slightly more accepting of umagas new found passion for speech if he wasnt speaking in normal english and it was somewhat like his phrases he yells out. More monster like, less normal.
