WWE officials are said to be high on NXT star Mojo Rawley, according to sources. They believe that Rawley could carry the company into the future. He will likely be pushed very strong when he's brought up to the main roster.

Here is a video of his NXT debut:

I can see it. In fact I said it in the Pitbulls thread, he has a presence that they can mold. He needs work but he has everything they want. He's educated, motivated, young, big, reportedly very respectful to everyone, and he has a nfl background.

I think he can be like their equivalent of what Buff Bagwell was in WCW at his peak, a very solid hand and fun act that they can use for years

He played for the packers? I say let him win all championships and beat the streak for his debut on the main roster.

He never actually played any season games, and if I am not mistaken he was only on the team for training camps.

You been around long enough to know they can spin it to say he left the nfl for wrestling :HHH2:

No doubt, but IMO if you don't play a regular season game, you were never part of the team.

I could tell they were big onthe guy when I saw him in one of those Breast Cancer Month promos talking about his mom or Aunt or something who died of breast cancer. The guy does have an "it" to him. He's a big, brick shithouse, and with this "I DON'T GET HYPED, I STAY HYPED" and all that running and shit, I would IMAGINE his cardio is thru the roof.

That said, I hate the fucking name. Mojo Rawley is a fine name for some dev guy, or some midcard jobber.. but I just can't hear "And NEW! WWE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION.. MO. JO.... RAWLEEEEEEEY!"

Nope, I don't hear it. The syllables are right tho, just need a new name on top of that 2-2 pattern.

Part of me just wants him to get called up with the name for a week and have JoJo as his valet.


I do think they can keep Mojo as a nickname. They just need to add him a more serious first name.

A Powerpuff Girls joke.... Really?

I should dislike just for that!

 

[Weez]

Honestly, being that he "played for the packers" I'm honestly surprised the dude's name isn't Bret Rodgers tbh.

i'll try to look up some of his stuff later tonight.

Still raw as fuck, will need a heap of time to see what becomes of him.

 

[Chris]

They said the same thing about Ryback when he was still yip, yip, yipping.

But this does mean they're going to give this guy a good chance on the main roster, so lets see how he does. I haven't seen anything of him so I have no opinion there.

 

[Tapout]

Really really hate the name. Not something I can see as being "The Face of the Company." Kinda the same problem people had with the name Dolph Ziggler. Still think he has a lot of time and development to go, and they could really screw themselves if they panic and try to push him on us too soon with so little experience and character image.

He's still green as grass but he had the crowd behind him which is huge. If he continues to develop, no reason why he can't make it big

That's true, hard to think they put him on nxt after 3 months of wrestling training period and he connected with the crowd
