I actually posted that before your reply... but yeah... I find him to be in the middle til proven otherwise.
Though I would enjoy seeing him come about and flourish on Smackdown because I feel he has the "superstar look". I just wanna see him prove something. |

As for 'people are too high on him', no idea what you mean. I've been riding his nuts for a while but even that's only been 3 or 4 mentions over the space of about 8 months. I don't really recall many/any others doing the same until this thread appeared. |
I think he has at least proven that he is not the worst wrestler today. Whether he'll ever become as big as Mo from Men on a Mission is anybody's guess.
|
I've been a big Riley fan since NXT. He was in some good matches there, mostly with Kaval.
|
Of all the horrible wrestlers in the E and TNA, some choose to hate a guy that actually has potential to be great?
|
He's not great and headlining PPV's now Narc so it doesn't matter about silly things like potential ya dig
|
Oh. Damn.
|
We are all missing the most important part of Wolfpack's post. He spoiled the Impact results for me. My week is ruined.
|
If you're confused Dave, Alex Riley will NOT be appearing on Impact this week.

Also, Santino got arrested. And then was the runner up in the Royal Rumble. And now is a jobber again. You're putting entirely too much into WWE's booking process. Whatever NXT guy in season 2 they viewed as the "most Miz-like" they would have done the exact same storyline. You can't honestly argue that point.

Have you read the rest of my posts? So now, we're supposed to assume that anyone who is "a complete joke, loses every match by a landslide" and is squashed by nobodys are supposed to be the next John Morrisons? (Ignoring the fact that John Morrison DID come along later and just assuming that everyone who does that WILL come along?) Apparently so. And that proves my point. |
What? Nobody is assuming that about everybody. That is an absolutely ridiculous argument. I didn't say that nor did anybody else. We're saying that Riley has potential because we believe he does. I wouldn't say the same thing about Jackson Andrews, Mason Ryan, Joe Hennig, Otunga, etc because they aren't looking too sharp to me. Riley has a solid look, is comfortable on the mic (could use some more time), and comfortable in the ring as well. He's only going to improve also. I think he's got something, personally.
Stop making these wild sweeping generalizations. |
Also because I would bang Riley and Morrison.
|
Not that Mason Ryan is ugly or anything. He's just... I dunno. Wouldn't be into it.
|
How about Ezekiel Jackson? Everyone that he does, he dominates them.

You made a statement about how the WWE is doing nothing with him right now. I gave you an example as to why that isn't an accurate thing to go off of. Would you like more? I seem to remember a Deacon, a Dentist, and a Ringmaster who they were "doing nothing with" for awhile.
What I was trying to allude to, is that wins/losses aren't a very good indicator on talent. Nobody is saying that because he is losing, he's going to be a big star. That's ridiculous. He's got size, he is mobile, he's got charisma, and he's linked to one of the biggest heels in the company. One could definitely argue that they are definitely "doing something" with him right now in his current role. |
Let's just say you're both right and settle this with a hug.
|
Alex Riley has survived a DUI, being technically "fired" from his position and a draft to remain on RAW aligned with The Miz. I'm really sorry, but if you don't think someone in the WWE sees dollar signs on the mans pores under a microscope, you're not looking at this right.
And personally, I've been very impressed with Riley. That spot at the Royal Rumble was indeed awesome, and Riley always puts himself in the right position and has some awesome facial expressions that actually don't steal the show -- but add something to it. I'm very curious to see where things go with Riley. He seems like a natural heel, but this Miz/Riley stuff seems like it could lead to a break-up, no? |
I like A-Ri. Needs to step out of the Miz's shadow to show some depth and variety, but i think he can easily do that.

You realize the draft isn't real, right? lol. He was written to be drafted over to Smackdown. It wasn't like there was some crazy draft that messed up WWE's plans and they were like "Fuck it! This man's a star! We're gonna keep him on Raw aligned with The Miz dammit!!!" Just the fact that you alluded to him "surviving a draft to remain on Raw aligned with The Miz" just... I don't even know what to say about that. Jesus Christ. lol |
Also, I could say the same about him being "technically fired" from his position. Again... you realize it was a storyline. He wasn't ever actually fired. WWE didn't have to work around it to "keep him employed as Miz' apprentice". He didn't "survive" anything. Seriously. This is all proving my point of people wanting to add significance to someone and make a new "obvious future star."
|
I think you guys are overrating him thoroughly, but I like him I guess.
|
Who is Murphy?
|
|
his face bothers me.
|
I still don't know who that Murphy guy is, but that picture tells me that Alex Riley is one thousand times better than him.
|
I THINK he is a security guard on impact or something.

A-Ri has got just as good in ring skills than a lot of the guys on the roster that have been there for a while, PLUS he has got really great mic skills for a rookie... Kid stays healthy, he is going places...
|
Anyone who is doubting A-Ri's future stardom in WWE is just a mark, the guy is exactly what WWE wants to groom for the top. Also, he's pared with THE FUCKING MIZ aka John Cena #2, so get a fucking grip you idiots, Riley is here to stay and he will main event a PPV within the next year.

But anyway, I've addressed the "But he's paired with THE MIZ!!! HE HAS TO BE A SUPERSTAR IN THE MAKING!!!" argument so many times in this thread. Being the lackey (Anyone who tries to call him anything more than a lackey at this point is a mark!!!) of The Miz does not mean ANYTHING when it comes to him being a superstar. |

I think I would like Khali if he had a really good manager and could atleast move in the ring. Everyone loves a good monster heel. But it's not even that he's just a bad wrestler. He CAN BARELY EVEN MOVE. People throw "worst wrestler ever" around jokingly a lot. I really think he may be though. Lawrence Taylor performed better than Khali has in his time in WWE. He is literally on the verge of being completely immobile. lol
