So this is what I've finally decided on as the direction I'm going to go as far as gimmick wise. For awhile I was trying to be more of a big bully heel like Nash but eventually I decided to go all in and go for the insane Wildman heel similar to an old school Bruiser Brody or Buzz Sawyer. I've only been doing it for a couple of months now, what are your thoughts/ ideas on the new direction for my gimmick?
Side note, this is what I was doing before

Should I have just kept it more of just a big bully?

Sweet clothesline finisher, I'd cut a promo after the match detailing your out-of-the-ring activities, noting that you have a choppa and shit. Tell the crowd that the ref smells like shit and leave.

You should come to the ring wearing a dust mask and say you can bring their city's air unfiltered.
Good call on keeping the name and on grunting more often. The crowd seemed to like you more than the "face" in the match, El Griote (spelling?).
I particularly enjoyed your consecutive backbreakers into a press slam and your countering of the tornado DDT. If the promoters ever have you squashing in the future, then you might add a belly-to-belly suplex and a headscissors-to-powerbomb counter or a flapjack if your opponent is properly trained to sell those moves.
Good for an NWA-Houston match, about 3.5/5.
Upon further thought, El Griote seems like Sin Cara: botching a flying headscissors and kayfabe hurting himself with an offensive move (springing headbutt). I'm just glad he didn't tumble to the floor! Those mats around the ring look thin.

I also like your backbreakers into a sitdown over-the-shoulder reverse piledriver as you did on Alex Evans during this tag match and how you slammed Evans when he was trying to brawl. The ref made a fast count on your partner in favor of the "face" team in that match! From a kayfabe perspective, maybe he was trying to atone for missing the illegal blatant chokeholds.
Also, the spot where you lifted Evans on the outside and went shoulder-first into the ring post was a nice touch because it gave you an excuse to not break the pinfall on your partner. BTW, who are the members of Mob Scene? Did you leave that stable and begin using "BYOB" by System of a Down as theme music?

Lol, not a bad idea but I actually don't talk anymore in the ring. All I really do is scream, grunt or roar. I'm looking to do something different nowadays, since there are so many big men that are just big and mean. I'm looking to do something different than what most guys are doing in wrestling today

Need more crispness and snap in your moves. It doesn't seem like you're fully committing, but I assume that it comes with time, you haven't even been doing this for 2 years I don't think.
All in all improvements all around, you keep getting better which is a good sign.

PS. The Lariat was pretty good at the end. But when I think of more snap and crispness needed, I'm talking more about the back breaker. Obviously you never wanna hurt the guy, but you REALLY protected him, it just lacked a certain intensity. Study some of the better back breakers out there.
Honestly, I think it's funny to say this, but look at Mid 94- 1996 Kevin Nash matches. Nash had a brief period of time when he was very good for a man his size. He moved deliberately, but everything he did was done with purpose, and done with OOMPH. And also look at Scott Hall and the way he moved and the way he punched. As a man your size you need the offence to really tell the story and make a statement.
When you are training in the gym, get on the skip rope, learn olympic lifts etc, get those fast twitch fiber muscles going so you're moving more fluidly/fluently (whichever one works :p).
You cell nicely, and you bump really nicely and the crowd likes you and most importantly you're having fun out there and people feed off of that, so good work!
Seriously I enjoy your work,my one critique is that I'd have gone with Serj Tankian's LIE,LIE,LIE as my theme as it is clearly the song of a madman played for laughs.
