How bad is Eli Cottonwood?
I think it's kinda sad that Kaval looked soo good in this match yet they had him lose to Eli because of his size. I was watching "The Soup" last night on E! and they showed Eli struggling to cut a promo on mustaches. How bad do you think Eli is on a scale of 1 to 10? Also, side note Laycool's interaction with Kaval is about the most entertaining thing WWE has going right now (well, besides the random backstage Rosa segments )

First time I see this guy, but he has a horrible look. Doesn't look intimidating at all, just homeless.

Cool look?
The only thing I see him doing with this look is beating people up to get some change for food. |

Before Kipp Christianson became Eli Cottonwood, he graduated from St. John's University in NYC with a degree in psychology!

Yeah he may be tall but that doesn't make you a bad ass, he is too thin and not muscular enough so he looks awkward, like a young Kevin Nash minus steroids.

I just don't fully "get" Eli. But I'm willing to keep going with it to see what happens.

I like Kaval. I loved Lo-Ki.
And there is nothing wrong with supporting Eli. |

Some wrestlers do better in the indie scene. There are less (any?) limitations on what the performer can or can't do. Kaval hasn't really shown me anything yet that proves he should be number 1. For WWE standards I would say that Percey Watson or Alex Riley should be number 1 for right now.

just re watched cottonwood vs kaval. I take back my previous post to an extent. He did use some pretty unique offensive maneuvers. Nothing mind blowing but servicable.
Cottonwood was not awkward or clumsy or any of the things you guys said. He uses the typical big man offense against a smaller opponent. Both guys put on a good match showing off good skill. Cottonwoods frontal choke slam was tight. |

Cottonwood is terrible. I think my biggest problem is he a big man and looks like a freak and talks.

I refuse to assume he will never get better granted it would make sense and follow the "A-Typical Big Man" syndrome.

Two things will make me care about Eli Cottonwood:
1) He suddenly becomes more entertaining to watch in the ring. 2) He dresses up as a wizard. Something about the gimmick just seems like it would work for Cottonwood. I think the dude needs something. I appreciate they are trying to go with a "human monster" thing with him, but it just isn't working. When he's tossed off NXT, let him work in FCW for a few months and then have someone discover him on the streets homeless, or something. They can bring up his mental issues, and have him come back as a psychotically enraged giant. Otherwise, they could use his psychology degree and have him become the WWE's new kayfabe psychologist, conducting interviews with certain guys to understand why they are doing what they are doing. All the while, he should be working to get his ring skills just a little bit sharper. |

I watch FCW every week, and when I first saw Eli, I figured it was only a matter of time before he got a call-up based solely on his size.
A year, later... it's still based solely on his size. He's the least flexible big man I've ever seen. Even Yokozuna could throw thrust kicks. Eli tries for that "big boot," and catches guys Riley/Hennig's size in the chest. He would be moderately entertaining as a heel's bodyguard whose sole purpose was to destroy people with that chokeslam, but pairing him with a face and trying to put him in matches that last any longer than a squash is a huge mistake. |
