Could you guys tell me just how good this guy is? I've heard so many great things and that his potential is through the roof. He looks awesome from some highlights I've seen but I would like to know the opinion of those who have watched more of him over the years. Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

He's a good worker who has had solid matches in DGUSA and was over in Japan with Dragon Gate. I get the name since he kinda looks like Terry Crews.

I can't speak as someone who has watched him over the years because I was only made aware of him about two years ago, but I can say that he's going to be an incredibly vital part of NXT. In my opinion, Crews is the perfect, perfect blend of size and speed. He's built like a tank, but surpasses what a lot of others in NXT and WWE can do in the ring. A guy who looks like Crews should not be able to perform at the level of agility such as this. We're in for something special.

He is really good and also one of the nicest guys in the world. So glad he was signed.

I've not seen a huge amount of his work but he seems to have unlimited potential and could be a very exciting signing.

Just imagine a dude strong enough to do a gorilla press slam and then straight transition into a standing moonsault. Dudes incredible to watch

I've only just heard of him less than a year ago, but the dude is impressive. I think he has the look, charisma, and moves to be the top face in WWE one day, he should definitely be NXT and WWE World Heavyweight champion one day. I've never been so excited for a debut since Finn Balor. It's great he's debuting at NXT Brooklyn because I get to see him debut live.

Uhaa is special, really special. He has electric charisma. Sure, he absolutely has all the tools with the size and strength, the agility, and the promo ability, but he feeds off of crowds in a Cena type of way. I just watched him work Solomon Crowe a couple of weeks ago and he got himself so over in a matter of 2-3 minutes, that he turned Crowe into a heat magnet as well about halfway through the match. His charisma is what sets him apart from the pack and he's able to display that charisma through both work rate and his personality. Just watch and enjoy though. You're going to start seeing plenty of him come the end of this month. Don't set expectations for how you should feel about him. All I can tell you is that he's ing phenomenal imo and I hope everyone else feels the same way in a few months. I think he'll be on the road to the NXT Title pretty quickly and I think he'll be the next guy after Balor to be the top baby for NXT.

He's gonna light it up in NXT and then get called up to the main roster as a thug, a gospel singer, a former athlete or a rapper, because that's all Vince knows how to book black wrestlers.
But overall he has some MAJOR talent. And is exciting as hell to watch.

Pretty much what's been said already, the guy has no bussines being as athletic as he is. A guy the size of Cena doing standing moonsaults and shooting star splash's. He oozes charisma. He's also real good friends with other talented Indy superstars Riccochet and Akira Tozawa, so hopefully he can put in a good word for those two, NXT is going to need a new class of top stars soon.

Doesn't matter what he can do, like some said, once he gets brought up to Raw he won't get the main event spot to be WWE World Champion.
I am not racist or anything, but the WWE history has proved that as Kerwin White said, "if it ain't white, it ain't right." And Vince has never pushed a black man as his WWE Champion. World Champion, yes, but never with the WWE name on it has a black man been WWE Champion.

Terry Creed sounds more realistic.

At the very least I see him being one of the better IC Champions in history

At the very least I see him being one of the better IC Champions in history I too have a strong feeling that he will be the first black WWE champion. His talent, charisma, personality, and connection with crowds will put him up there.

It's bound to happen someday and I see no reason why it wouldn't be him. I think a lot of people forget that had Bobby Lashley not left the company, he absolutely would have been champion and made history. Crews is absolutely what WWE has been looking for since then.

That is true, Vince did have a boner for Lashley, didn't he?? I never understood why. He was impressive looking but came off very boring. I often wonder about the late 90s too with Ahmed Johnson, if Vince was gonna put the strap on him at all?? It seemed he really liked his stuff too until all the injuries kept happening.

Uhaa's catchphrase is so true, wrestling for him is "too easy." He's damn good in the ring, can do flippity-flips with the best then have an actual power game too. He's a billed 6'1", 240-260, and if he keeps his Uhaa Combination (gorilla press slam, standing moonsault, then standing SSP) he's immediately going to have a wow factor. He's in my opinion better than Lashley who was seemingly going to get a huge push. He's had a pair of PWG matches on their last two shows of 2014 before getting signed, one with Brian Cage, the other a four way with Cage, Tommaso Ciampa, and Biff Busick, that were incredible. If the cards are played right, he's going to be an absolute star.
