Because he's not as good as Barrett in that regard. And amazing is a bit of a stretch, people like Punk, and Austin and Jericho (prime or honest man) are amazing. Sami is good/acceptable. Unless Barrett is doing his Bad News on the podium thing, his mic skills are about average as well. It's weird to try and rank people now a days, not enough promo time. Like, I think Barrett is better but I don't know what a level would be called between above average and great. Good? That's pretty plain. Barrett's NEXUS stuff was a an amazing level I'd love to see him be able to replicate again. So I guess if we're going with just Below, average, above and good than yeah Zayn and Barrett are in the same tier, but I still rank Zayn below him.

Thinking about it, you're right, it's kind of hard to judge these days. I mean, there's guys that are awful like a Ryder, but beyond that, there's a huge gap between Ryder and a guy like Punk was or Heyman is.

That is very crappy.
Worst case scenario for the NXT special in two weeks is the triple threat # 1 contendership match happens as planned but now the winner faces Owens later in the main event.
They (my money is on Itami) would lose of course but they would have an out since they wrestled earlier in a hard fought contest.

NXT is a good meter, they get pretty good mic time and they get some input on characters from what I understand, but if you go to the main roster quick then it's a total toss up. For all I know, Adam Rose or Baron Corbin could be Stone Cold on the mic lol. I don't understand, is it the scripting or the new developmental guys just aren't good? It's sad to see how bad some people are.

I read about this briefly and just assumed it happened during one of the spots in the match. Hopefully he's back quick if it's anything serious.

Sami has amazing mic skills, so not sure why you mentioned that. Because he's not as good as Barrett in that regard. And amazing is a bit of a stretch, people like Punk, and Austin and Jericho (prime or honest man) are amazing. Sami is good/acceptable. Sami is just as good if not better in the ring as Punk. But there's no real point arguing opinions now is there?

I'd say there about even, but punk has had more important matches so they outweigh Sami's a bit for me

If anything he's a ing trooper for putting on the match he did with his shoulder out of whack. Hoping he can make a speedy recovery.
