On the topic of re-using themes, someone should be using Maven's. Zack Gowen's Seether theme should also be recycled Someone gets it.

Isn't he a commentator now? He's sporadically on NXT and he does the terrible Raw Pre-Shows. Christian burned him on a recent Pay-Per-View Pre-Show. He was like "The people on this panel have more than 50 Championships combined...and it's all from Booker and myself." Riley just sat there looking awkward.

That was the one time I ever saw the pre show and I laughed so hard. I assume it's not normally Christian and Booker T? Cause if it is maybe I'll start watching more.

On Pay-Per-Views it's always Booker, Riley and Renee Young with the fourth person rotating. On Raw Pre-Shows it's just Byron Saxton, Booker and Riley.

Off-topic, but the theme that Kurt Angle would eventually have was originally The Patriot's.
As for Riley - just a generic dude IMO.

His body type always reminded me of the Rock. And he was pretty good on the mic, but kinda sucks as an announcer (then again, any and all WWE announcers suck these days because of Vince ruining them, except for the lovely Renee Young of course.) The WWE should have done more with him, but you can say that about many guys. The fickle booking of Vince McMahon does a great job of getting less out of his employees than he could and should.

I liked Riley and he was over with the crowd. However, since transitioning to an announcer and pre-show guy, he's become insufferable. And reading his twitter shows what a jamoke he really is.

Renee is good at everything she does...besides commentary, she's dreadful on commentary. All I hear from her is "ooo!" and "ahh" after each move, but she has potential to be a great commentator

I have to say I never really seen anything in Riley....BUT he didn't really get on my radar either so maybe I missed something great that would have made me a fan.

Definitely had potential, he was over, good mic skills, ok in the ring. I'd love to know what really happened that his push got dropped so suddenly.

He was a generic guy with no character or mic skills so he was never going to make it big. Alex Riley never got to show any type of personality until they put him on commentary. They weren't even using him for backstage comedy segments the way they were with other low level guys like Ryder, Titus, Slater, etc. Isn't he a commentator now? I think he should be doing commentary AND wrestling. Let him do the pre-shows, but he should be wrestling on SmackDown and Main Event. Also, I think WWE should give him a deal similar to Jerry Lawler's and let him wrestle indy shows on the weekends so he can actually get better. Definitely had potential, he was over, good mic skills, ok in the ring. I'd love to know what really happened that his push got dropped so suddenly. John Cena I don't believe the John Cena story. Riley is one of Cena's little "clique" that works out at his gym. Plus getting into an altercation with the top star seems like it would be grounds for firing. If it were true, Riley would've been gone a long time ago. Or they would've released him when they fired all those other guys a few months ago. Also, instead of using Riley's fall from grace as an excuse to hate on Cena, why not do something productive like trying to get Riley over again? Chant his name at live shows. Get him trending on Twitter. Or something. Demand that Riley be given some type of push.
