I like his look, it's the ideal look of a good face who can easily go heel at a moments notice. I do like his wrestling abilities(from what I have seen) and I think he makes an excellent choice as NXT's first champion. His energy is just amazing, (although I am not a huge fan of it) but the way he whips the belt around like that seems to really get the crowd going. I think he needs to work on his mic work slightly though, as I was not overly impressed with his interview with JR.

But what do you think of him?

I'm not just huge on the guy like some seem to be. Yes, I think he's a real good talent, but I don't see him ever being a big star in WWE by any means. I like his look, and he's great in the ring, but like you said, mic skills lack. He's crazy over with the NXT crowd, not sure if any of that would carry over when he gets to the main roster though. He's obviously going to get a decent push when he does finally get on the main roster as well, WWE seems to be high on the guy, and as of right now, I'm a fan (even if I may seem like I'm not), I just think a lot of people overrate him.

I've always been a fan of Seth Rollins (Tyler Black), I love his ring-abilities however his mic skills aren't the greatest but he does have what it takes to get far.

I think he'll have a pretty decent IC/US title reign when he gets to the main roster. Who knows though, he could impress a lot of people(including us) when he does make it. I think he'll be over pretty quick on the main roster though, simply because of his energy. The kids love that shit.

Ditch the Blue entrance and he could be a serious player in the WWE.

I'd say he was a better John Morrison with better mic skills, minus the heat seeking girlfriend.

I don't understand all the hate on Rollins entrance. He's just psyching himself and the crowd up. It does look weird to mosh when no one else is around you but who cares its just an entrance. I can see him being another John Morrison. A guy with great ability but lacking mic skills. I think he's way better because he has better ability and can really connect with a crowd.

NXT was my first impression of Seth, and he is in a small group of talent on that show that actually makes it worth watching. I wouldnt go as far as saying he is one of my favorites, but I dont hate his work at all.

He definitely has the wrestling ability and is getting better on the mic, tough to predict what he could become but at least a solid midcarder. I like the comparison to Morrison as it is quite apt. As for his gimmick who knows what WWE will do when he is promoted to the main roster, they may change it completely.

He has a lot of ability, I just hate how he works matches. Certain things he really needs to work on because I found most of his ROH matches hard to watch and very unbelievable. Too bad instead of adjusting to a more realistic style people have egged him on to continue down this path and now I'm going to have to see it on a bigger stage.

He's a horrible vanilla midget just like he was in the indies.

Ohno has way more potential, but he needs to bulk up first because a knockout artist having the body of a teenage swimmer isn't believable.

Like a weird combo of Drugz Hardy and CM Punk with his look.

Saw a few matches, and didn't really step out as the guy who shuld be NXT champ.

I've never seen anything in this guy. His terrible entrance is topped by 30,000 springboard flippy floppy moves, terrible rip-off of HBK's superkick, and a shit finish.
