I was watching some Nigel for the first time on Youtube and I realized there was...

something he was missing... not in the "he doesn't have 'it'" or anything that's not my point at all. It goes without saying the guy can work and he seems pretty good on the mic, he definitely comes off well rounded.

However there is something that somewhat bothered me, and it was like the tiniest thing but it could help get him over more. It is so subtle that I'm going to sound stupid.... but here goes...

So since the lariat is a huge part of his arsenal, and his finished, I don't get why he doesn't wear a tensor or an elbow pad/bandaging around his arm. It's really simple but would help people in TNA acknowledge the move a little more. The problem with the lariat is even though it can be a devestating finisher and Nigel does it well, people have seen so many different lariats and they usually don't finish guys, the last guy to use it was JBL and obviously it was an homage to Stan Hansen and both are about 35253x the size of Nigel. Hansen I know for a fact always had the bandaging around the lariat arm and I'm pretty sure JBL was the same though I could be wrong.

If you're hitting someone so fucking hard you're going to call it the jawbreaker lariat, wouldn't it really kill your arm? Wouldn't it makes sense to have the bandaging to really sell the move. He could have the tensor sort of around his forerarm for the majority of the match and then when it was time for the big lariat, pull it up higher and the fans would go nuts cuz they'd know it'd be time for the big jawbreaker lariat. It would draw attention to the move and it would psycologically make sense and give the crowd something to look for etc...

I dunno just something I thought of
