Elias Samson "The Drifter"

[Closed]

Honestly, I really like this guy. I didn't even watch any of his matches, but I just feel he has that something special. The gimmick itself could be really good in my mind with some work. I could see him being a face or heel, and he might be able to get some real heat with the fans. He has a decent build and I want to see more of him. I love the way he just drifts through shit (Like I want WWE to continue that for a while), but you know, also build him as a hard motherfucker. I see people saying to put him in the Wyatt family, but I completely disagree. I feel like that if anything would mess with him. I like his lone wanderer presence. I feel like this guy could be a top superstar in the company to be honest. What do you guys think about him? I have some weird crush on him right now lol

I love him. Great Gimmick. Great Look. Great Heat Magnet.

 

[InSaNe]

I loved how he interrupted the Jericho interview. My first thought was "GIF that shit!"

 

[Aids Johnson]

Jericho is the real GOAT.

 

[Prince Bálor]

Meh. Didn't like him in NXT and I doubt I'll like him now. He's about as interesting as watching paint dry.

 

[Eva Maryse]

I love how the best that WWE's writers can come up for him is; have him randomly walk through a scene backstage once a week.

 

[RedDwarfTechy]

I don't see him as a top superstar, he has the look that could work but I just can't see it work out that way from his NXT days.

I loved his El Vagabundo gimmick though, was funny as hell. As for the drifting, i think it's a funny sort of cameo and I am interested to see where he goes from there.

 

[Doxo]

I want him in some sort of Where's Waldo kind of thing

 

[Tom Colohue]

Honestly, I love how he keeps randomly appearing all over the place and everyone's just reacting to him without him doing anything. That's going to get over way more than Tye Dillinger.

Agreed. And it is such a WWE thing to do too

If WWE do right... he has the potential to go over huge... if do wrong, which they prob will, it will fail and he will be a jobber.

Do right is timing. He needs to come out near the ring once like dean Ambrose is knocked out from the miz or something. The miz will clear the ring while the drifter keeps playing and then right when dean makes it to one knee, bam!, guitar right over the head. He then grins at the crowd, nails his finisher, and walks away while grabbing another guitar from under the ring and begins playing like nothing happened.

Eventually he get worked into a feud with dean, and each time he comes out... he plays his own song... and can switch beats depending on his mood... could go over big.

But WWE will prob fuck this up big time.

Not really interested in the Drifter right now. I love his theme music, but overall he isn't super impressive to me...

 

[Grievous 3D]

They could have him "Busking" at ringside? Have a hat for the fans to throw coins into...
I could see some funny interaction with Slater & Rhyno...may-be the Miz & Maryse...

I like his look and gimmick...but...I'm curious to actually see him wrestle...

 

[Solid Snake]

I like names that match gimmicks and I am glad to see more of these coming back. I don't mind him but I don't know much about him.
