On Apollo Crews: I like him better on RAW than in NXT. He's a good enough talent to be able to sponge on the road. Give him shorter stuff and he can develop that personality over time. He's good in small amounts, and that's all they will probably give him. Have him win, and win, and win, and win. Not everything needs to be an angle. Just let him build momentum until he finally loses.
To be honest, and I know this won't be met with universal agreement, I think he will really develop into something as a heel. His over-the-top "I'm so happy to be here, listen to my life story, I'm born to be a champion" thing is so...forced. Who doesn't want to be a champion in WWE? There's some egocentric about it that I can see working into Rocky Maivia-style heat in time. His flips and shit could easily be presented as too "show-boaty" and disrespectful to his opponenets. Put him in $500 plain shirts he bought personally off a rap mega-star and he's an instant heel.
