I'm still upset that his catchphrase isn't, "Who wants to walk with the drifter?" Perfect opportunity for a pun completely wasted. His gimmick is he's a drifter and there's zero reference to that. He doesn't even get "drift away" chants anymore. He lost that drifter part of the gimmick after a couple of weeks on the main roster. He's still the annoying musical vagabond. Plus "Who wants to walk with Elias" is a way better catchphrase. Gets a big reaction from that. I know he dropped it. It annous me to no end. It's still the same gimmick but without actually mentioning what the gimmick is. And it's a fantastic gimmick. Now he's more like the guy in jeans with a guitar. Well, why the hell does he have the guitar? Why does he dress like that. WWE refuses to commit to gimmicks. Like Adam Rose, Bo Dallas, etc. Either commit to the gimmick and let them run with it or don't. You committed to the Hurricane until it got over for crying out loud! Sorry for the rant. I'm just very frustrated with Elias because I think he's got "it", but whoever's in charge of him keeps screwing it up. Soon he'll be just another generic villain I don't care about like Rusev and Bray have become. |

The fact he went toe to toe with Roman means he is moving up the food chain sooner than later. NXT gimmicks tend to die on the main roster because they are playing to a large arena filled with diverse fanbase instead of a small soundstage full of smarks. Outside of having an actual first name and a modified catchphrase, Elias is almost the same act as in NXT. Not seeing the massive change as you are. NXT never explain how he went from a regular NXT jobber to a drifter. |

For now I am just going to use a Damien Sandow figure as a stand in for him.

NXT Elite Series 3 I think he’s in. Tye Dillinger as well No, as others have said before, Elias was at one time slated for Elite Series 60. Dillinger is/was Elite Series 57. |
