Even if Riley sucked in the ring (which he so does not), you can learn to be a better wrestler.
What you cannot learn is charisma and swagger. Riley has both of those in bunches. He's gonna be the shiznit. |

Seriously. He even looks good doing the little run gimmick when he appears behind Miz during their entrance. He has 'it'.

Not a "fan" of the guy by any means but he's nowhere close to being the worst wrestler in the world today, tomorrow or yesterday. He's very much in the same mould as Miz, but he's better in the ring and if he works as hard he could be the man somewhere down the line.

If they didnt have him paired up with the Miz, he'd be gone by now.

He's got a decent look. The only promo of his that stands out in my mind was when he said something about John Cena having the same first name as a toilet... and that only stood out because it was more awful than his usual promos.
As for his in ring work, he's done nothing more than have bland matches on NXT. It's weird how easy people will jump on "good wrestler" bandwagons out of nowhere. I'm not saying he's bad... he just hasn't shown anything. Whatsoever. I think people just want someone to be a superstar so badly that they'll start blowing anyone who has a decent look that isn't getting a push. |

And honestly a couple years ago with Miz/Morrison, if you had said "Miz will be a World Champion for 5 months, headlining wrestlemania vs John Cena and win" I think you probably would have been committed to an insane asylum on the spot. |

Taking a dropkick from Ricardo "I speak better than Jesus" Rodriguez only improves Riley's stock.

I'm not quite sure if you're being serious or not, but Christian is one of the top five wrestlers in the business today. The top five in terms of in ring talent for me currently are:
1. Kurt Angle 2. Christian 3. AJ Styles 4. Bryan Danielson 5. Rey Mysterio In terms of in ring matches, I consider these the top five, but I like alot of others. John Cena is my favorite guy in the industry. He works his ass off, constantly has good to great matches since being in the title picture, has excellent charisma and while his promos are not for everyone I have no problem for them. When he is conducting a serious promo they are some of the best I've heard. The backstage ones he does are usually good. He's one of the nicest people ever. Being a top guy hasn't turned him into an arrogant jerk. I also consider Randy Orton to be a great wrestler who has had his share of excellent matches as well. Top 5 worst: 1. Murphy 2. Alex Riley 3. Vladimir Kozlov 4. David Otunga 5. Crimson |

I'm not gonna lie, maybe it's because it was in a TNA topic, but I thought he said Alex Shelley was the worst wrestler next to Murphy. I was a little shocked by that. Then I realized he had spoiled Impact....and I barely stifled a Gohan-esque rant on him.

I know it's all a matter of opinion, but I just can't wrap my head around ranking Riley so low in the wrestling world. His NXT matches were good in my eyes...better than Percy Watson, Eli Cottonwood, Lucky Cannon and Titus O'Neil on that season of NXT alone. His promos blew ALL of those guys out of the water, and he's basically just been schooling it since The Miz's sidekick ever since. That just doesn't seem like enough to consider him one of the bottom two wrestlers in the world today, but I guess if you like Khali, you're coming from a completely different world than I am.

And if you're saying Alex Riley has charisma and mic skills, then that definitely helps prove my point that people's standards are ridiculously low right now and they NEED someone to fit that mold.

What? You seem to think people are claiming he's the next Hogan or Austin or something. If you can't see that he has charisma, pretty good mic skills and stands out over just about all of 'the new crop' except maybe Barrett then this discussion is pointless because I have no idea what you look for in a professional wrestler.

I just don't get it because the other thread had absolutely NOTHING to do with Alex Riley. At all. It was about TNA's greatest matches. Then Wolfpack started talking about shitty TNA guys (still not pertinent to the thread, but at least the right organization) and decided to call out Alex fucking Riley as the worst in the business out of thin air. Outrageous, if you ask me.

I always say the word 'outrageous' with a French accent, whether it's in my head or out loud. It's fun.

He has shown more charisma and mic skills than the rest of the NXT guys. A group that produced some promos that are notoriously awful. lol. But I've seen the guy cut a promo. His promo on Raw was FINE. But it certainly didn't stand out. And I've seen him cut some pretty shitty promos. I like the guy. Simply for the fact that I haven't seen anything to dislike him yet. But I think people are too high on him at the moment is all. I think people are trying to exaggerate his skills. I've seen the same with plenty of guys. But claiming he's such a "good wrestler" is crazy unless you've seen some indy stuff I haven't (Which is totally possible. I just think this should be brought to light. lol) He hasn't had a good, even decent match in WWE to showcase it but people are praising his wrestling skills. It doesn't take an insane amount of skill to work a 4 minute WWE style match at the moment. |
