  1. Seems like a good guy and not full of himself even with his WWE background. 1year – 1year and a half seems reasonable before fighting for the belt if he plans on staying active and keeps winning

  3. Thank you for bringing back honor after Phil Brooks aka cm sucks embarrassed himself..Notice all the chants stopped?

  4. His wwe career was going downhill wasn't it.Has I don't watch that anymore but I'm sure they were pushing him to a stage where he got to his peak with that bloke as his manager who was irritating as fuck.Then after that he was featuring way down the card.I think he as more of a chance than cm punk ever did.Even though they pulled a bloke out of a bar and said we will pay 300 dollers to you to pay down and tap

  5. His opponent fought for 20 seconds first fight.He looked worse than Chuck liddell did last fight and the chin too.

  6. I think the striking will let him down.He does have athleticism though but i have feeling the chin once tested the swagger will look more like a blunt plastic fagger 😜

  7. If he ever returns to WWE, I wonder if he'll ever reach "Brock Lesnar status" assuming he continues to dominate. When Bobby Lashley went back, he was still being booked as a mid-carder despite his MMA credentials. Maybe if he wins a world title he'll finally be treated as a top guy by Vince.
