Catching up on some post-Takeover NXT. Nikki Cross is adorably scrappy. Eric Young's gimmick is perfect for him. He's like an anarchist that believes in survival at any cost. If they presented him right, he could lose as many times as they wanted and he could bounce back more dangerous each time.
No Way Jose is a star waiting to happen. Some of the star-like qualities of a Samoa Joe or Nakamura might be lost on the main roster if Vince and Kevin Dunn hack them to shit, but Jose is a star within the WWE paradigm. He doesn't do anything specifically "non-WWE" to get over. He's cheesy and goofy, but he's found a way to make the silliness strong. He'll do really well.
Kona Reeves has a striking look too. Big dude. Not as chiseled as, say, The Rock, but he had a good natural presence.
