So, I've been looking at things recently, and Finlay is the closest thing that Smackdown has to a breath of fresh air. His matches are consistantly innovative, his style is believable, and although his promo skills aren't the greatest, his gimmick works well. I wish I could say that he would be pushed for a title run, but I doubt he will. I wish I could say that WWE would use him to his full potential, but I know they won't.

It would be good to tweak his gimmick slightly, because right now I'm concerned that he'll become just another "Anti-American." A gimmick that has all the flash and sizzle of a UPS Truck. (What can brown do for you?)

As people have mentioned, have him in matches with other strong technical wrestlers, let them showcase their talents. Put Finlay with brawlers, and let them go at it; I know a lot of you aren't going to like this, but Hardcore Holly vs. Finlay would be a fun match for Smackdown (not a PPV, necessarily). Alternatively, he could wrestle guys with speedy styles (see Brian Kendrick).

Finlay is a very versatile wrestler, and he should be showcased as such.

Also, isn't it sad that some of the oldest guys on the roster are also the most entertaining? (see Ric Flair, Finlay)
