The debut/face off with Samoa Joe didn't hurt things, either.

Intrigued: Nathan Jones. The whole character was pretty unique in how well they fleshed it out in such a short time. Mountainous-yet-athletic ex-con with a reputation from his size, not quite all there in the head, but in a somewhat charming way (having his "debut match" in a locker room off camera). Add into that the supposed "history" with Biker 'Taker which lead to the "mentoring". Too bad the actor couldn't hack the road schedule. He could have been huge.

Underwhelmed: Chris Masters. Exactly 180 from "The Colossus of Boggo Road", this guy's ENTIRE gimmick was how physically impressive he looked. Everything else was meh, and it showed. Even after getting off the gas (good personally, but shooting the entire gimmick in the foot in the process), WWE still tried to push the idea of his physique ("leaner and meaner") with no other substance. Was as two dimensional as you could get outside of a pencil drawing.
