Dave Batista Part II
thought this was a little interesting...and weird
Reigning FCW Florida Heavyweight Champion Mason Ryan, who worked SmackDown! live events this week, is expected to be called up to the main WWE roster and receive a large push from the onset. Organization officials reportedly want to utilize the Welsh grappler similarly to former WWE Champion Batista. He notably bears a striking resemblance to “The Animal |

the striking resemblance goes up 95% when he has that goatee

That's the only reason I see any resemblance to Batista. The little goatee thingy, and he has his hair like Batista a couple years back. And of course, the facial "Aaaargh!"
More than "baring a resemblance to Batista", it looks to me that WWE WANTS him to look like Dave. |

It's not the first time even this year where they're trying to bring in a replacement.

Someone needs to hide the unlimited title matches code away from this guy or else he literally would become Batista version 2.0

He doesnt look like he could walk a mile inside a pit of danger.
They should totally find someone that looks like HHH, Randy Orton and Flair and do Faux-veloution |

I think they should wait and see if Mason Ryan gets any better in the ring first.

The guy really doesn't look all that scary or tough even when he makes a "mean" face...
...it looks like he's all "Aaaargh! I am very mean! Be afraid!" |

I'll wait to judge him after I've seen him in the ring, but if they're pushing him based on the fact that he looks like big Dave, then...

This is actually quite spooky I was reading a copy of FSM (Fighting Spirit Magazine) the other day and it had an article about how the WWE over the last few years have created some very similar characters to previous money drawing stars. I cannot remember who the other comparisons were now but I'll go find the magazine in a bit and put them up.

I'm didn't say I can take him. I just said he doesn't look mean in the first pic.
Two different things...two separate things: #1 is here...................................................................#2 is here Let's be as clear as possible. |

They should call him Batista, and have him come out to Batista's music as if nothing is wrong a la fake Razor and Diesel. Imagine the heat he'd generate.

Mason Ryan
The arrival of Mason Ryan from FCW seems to me like the perfect chance for them to do a 'British Invasion' kind of angle... They have this dude from Wales, Drew McIntyre from Scotland, Wade Barrett from England and Sheamus from Ireland (I know Ireland isn't part of Britain, but still). They could also have Finlay, from Northern Ireland, and William Regal from England as manager/advisor types.
Have them come out saying American wrestling is shit and hark back to the good old days in the UK when wrestling was promoted like boxing is. They could demand to hold matches under old British rules, with three minute rounds, two out of three falls (unless a DQ, count out or knock out - all of which end the match immediately), tope rope moves illegal, titles CAN change hands on count out and DQ and all that. Could be a great way of garnering some heel heat like Regal did in 2001 vs Jericho, I forget the PPV, I think it was a Backlash, in that 'Duchess of Queensberry' (sic, should be Queensbury) rules match. Each time the face gets the upper hand, or scores a fall, or whatever, there'd be something in the old British rules that would mean it wouldn't count or that would get them DQ'd or something like that. Thoughts on the angle? Who could credibly lead the faction, if it happened? I'd say Sheamus or Barrett, but what do you think? |

Sounds good, but Sheamus and Barrett have both come a long way over the last year, and I can't help but think something like this would just slow them down.

Anti-american stables have been done to death and rarely get anybody over in the long run. Sheamus would be taking a huge step down going into a UK (& Ireland) stable, Wade has already just led a huge invasion angle. Regal has also done this gimmick before and I find it to be the least enjoyable version of his character (including Real Man's Man ).
Let these guys build their own interesting characters instead of giving them the shitty "Foreign guy hates America" gimmick. |
