I would go as far as saying you haven't watched Alex Riley for a long time. If so, why comment on him as if you saw him yesterday? I used to mark for him enough to warrant me watching Superstars for his consistent main event match on there, and he has improved tons. He has had a few matches on NXT as well and has done splendid. Exaggerating on his mic skills? No, he's at the higher end of the WWE spectrum with those. There are a few better than him, but they have had a LOT more mic time to show that. From what I have seen, and from what many others have seen, it's pretty unanimous that the guy can talk.

His look? How can his look be exaggerated? What is wrong with it? Whether you like it or not, he looks like money. He just has far too much talent to be where he is on the card. I am not saying let's have Riley end the streak, I am saying let's have Riley have a strong midcard run and see where that goes. His last run in the midcard had him over as one of the hottest faces on the card, but his ring work did drastically let him down.

So you want Riley to leave WWE for what, 3 or so years? Come back at 35/36 and expect a large push after being in a rival company? I'm not sure what you're expecting, or what your logic is here.

Nope I'm saying it isn't the end of the world if he leaves, improves on his flaws by working in different environments with different talents who require different styles of matches and promos rather than chilling back on house shows. I understand you'll respond with lol just reinvent himself in NXT like you've done previously regarding talents in similar situations and whilst that is a possibility it doesn't seem likely. I enjoy Rileys mic work to an extent but him not being in WWE doesn't effect whether that continues in fact it could further my enjoyment if he improves further.

He had some good exchanges with/against Miz. But 'Awesome mic skills' is a stretch armstrong if I've ever heard of one.

My theory? Alex Riley is a good looking guy who isn't a putz and is extremely underexposed so the IWC latched on to him.
OH SHIT HE USED THE "stretch armstrong" to get his point across. Testify come check this out.

So you want him to leave so you can enjoy him further? I can see that and agree with that, but your original point was having him improve away from WWE and return and expect something better than he has now, or it looked like that. I find it strange you think WWE would even employ him again if he went to TNA for example. He CAN develop himself in NXT further, and I wish WWE explored that option.

Yeah cos no one has been re-employed by the WWE right? If Riley is as talented as his marks are making out of course they'll be potential for a rehiring.
