How would you book Steen in NXT?

[Prince Bálor]

If they book him to look like a tool, people will know he's a tool.
This isn't RoH where basic booking 101 makes a guy look strong.
In WWE, basic booking 101 makes you look like a f***ing clown in a circus. 'Give Steen a quarter so he can dance for you' type of booking.

Steen'll do great. Just wait and see.

I do think Steen will do great because WWE knows what they have in their hands and will book him properly, but yes, shoddy booking can kill almost any talent. Especially when they're not established yet.

Are you sure about that? Are we not forgetting Steen is below six foot, fat and is just reaching mainstream at 30 years of age?
I understand the internet has allowed us to become familiar with him. It is more difficult to work in front of smaller crowds.
He may just become another Raven, a guy with loads to offer but somebody sticks in mid-card forever.
If durability becomes an issue you can definitely kiss stardom good bye.

I don't buy Steen as an a**kicker, but HHH has to be convinced of it. Vince would be even harder, but he appears to have put that in HHH's hands. I don't believe HHH wants pudgy.

TBH when Zayn didn't have a partner in the tag tournament I was like 'Let Steen do it!", but I think I was a little premature

Very good idea. How about Zayn and Rose take out Kalisto and Cara in the next round before The Vaudevillains take out Adam Rose in comical fashion, so Sami's stuck in a 1-on-2 situation until he can find a partner...

Nice idea. But the tournament is already booked through.

Personally I'd let Steen step into his old Anti christ persona in a sense, only mix it a bit with Raven.

Set him up with a rival from his childhood that he can chase through NXT.

It's still unspoiled to me, dammit! :why:

Love the Ciampa nod in your sidebar, by the way.

Have him murder Tyson Kidd.

Have him murder Tyson Kidd.

I'd rather have him turn Kidd into his disciple.
