He def needs work on the mic. Its a lot easier to teach a wrestler to be decent on the mic that it is to be an amazing in ring worker. Maybe he'll pick up some mic skills from his time in NXT to carry to the main roster I feel the opposite is true. It's easier to be good in the ring then to have charisma and good mic skills.

I just think he's the modern Dean Malenko. Good in the ring, but no real personality. That's really not a bad comparison. It's very true

You should stick to not offering opinions. One of the best heels in the business?! While I may not be familiar with his most recent PWG run, Im hard pressed to believe that this guy woke up with a personality. LOL at the first sentence of the above. Of all people to speak out of school about sharing opinions, this is the pot calling the kettle black. Now let's talk some facts. 1. Roddy was soundly booed from the start of his heel turn in PWG, a smart mark promotion that YOU DON'T EVEN WATCH for christ sakes. You cannot comment on something you don't watch. Let's also talk about his personality. Not everyone needs to be Sami Zayn or Brock Lesnar to have a personality. Roddy's jock-frat boy character fit him, because that's his real life personality. He turned the volume up at PWG and at ROH. Even during his Evolve run, there was no doubt who the cockiest guy in the room was. But again, you don't watch so you can't comment. No one has ever denied his ability inside the ropes. But what are these little things that WWE loves? His size? His promo ability? His ability to move merchandise? Note the sarcasm. Here's some more facts to discount your offense to my opinion of you as a commentator and opinion sharer. The Camp Strong XXL black t-shirt with orange lettering was the top sold shirt for ROH for all of 2015. Moreover, his Pro Wrestling Tees store was selling well enough to be in their top 5 sellers throughout 2016. So again merchandise mover. But hey you wouldn't acknowledge something you don't pay attention to, right? Take one look at his run as PWG champ and look at how he was booed during live runs alongside the Bucks and Adam Cole, oh wait you IGNORED THAT. Yes, a PWG crowd is going to appreciate his ability inside the ring more than a promo that is being cut. Smart marks always do. Its partially why they are called "smart". No, it's not why they're referred to as smart marks. But that is a comment a true mark would make. I look forward to you meeting Roddy at the airport for his signature and a photo, LOL. I'm the type of mark who buys the brand over the wrestler?! Thats ing hilarious. You couldnt be further from the truth. Just another point to why your opinion holds no water. Im not praising the WWE brand...Im stating the facts. WWE looks for certain attributes. Yes, NXT has opened the door to a fresher POV...but at the end of the day, WWE still weighs one thing over work rate, promo skills, size, ability, athleticism, look...MONEY. Its always going to be about money. Ive been wrong before...Ill be wrong again. My OPINION...Strong doesnt draw and wont move the needle. If Im wrong...Ill own up to it, like I have done in the past. Bryan Danielson being a big one I struck out on. Those times are just not as much as I have been right about people. The previous paragraph just shows how thick the salt is. The brand moves the needle, not the individual. That goes from top to bottom. Presently, Roderick got the biggest pop on NXT TV this past week and had the crowd popping. On top of that, THERE IS NO NEEDLE FOR NXT because they're not on television. NXT regardless of the card is always one of the most watched shows on the network, again BRAND over Individual. If they were still weighing money over the other attributes, you'd never see Kevin Steen as WWE Champ. Technically speaking, the ratings have never been lower and the main show, Raw has never been filled with so many errors. Yet they're still bringing in top live gates. The brand is what matters most, and you're not qualified to speak on anything aside from bothering wrestlers at the airport.
