Can't believe being the first wrestler on the "What happened to that wrestler?" theme wasn't listed as one of Mason Ryan's biggest accomplishments..

I love how no-one EVER points out that he, like former TNA champ (& Mickie James’ husband) Nick Aldis, was a former lead Gladiator on the revived UK TV show. Both legitimate strong guys with the right physique and, given a chance, capable of handling themselves. The big weakness usually cited for Ryan (aka Goliath) was personality & mic work. I’m pretty sure I remember him as having a strong Welsh accent, which probably stopped Vince & co giving him a proper chance as they didn’t think he could be taken seriously as a monster with that voice. Back then, British primarily still meant Posh or mild cockney, with rare exceptions like Finlay, McIntyre or Sheamus

You ever hear a fact, and you're just like "hmm, I never thought about that, but yeah, it's true." That's what I thought when he said Neville/Pac was the only NXT Champion no longer signed to the company.

@RicoTheL3g3nd Год назад

Now, Literally there are a number of NXT champs aren't even with the company (Aleister, Adam Cole BAYBAY, Keith Lee, Neville, Bo Dallas, Samoa Joe, Andrade...) and that's just the NXT champions. For the North American Title... It would be easier to count the champs that ARE still with the company.

@zanon__ 4 года назад

He's not a good speaker, he's not even a half-decent wrestler. He nearly killed himself a few times, he almost killed Eddie Edwards by being a brainless idiot who apparently doesn't know how to work safely, among many other situations even in the indies where he constantly showed no capacity to "look after" his coworkers. And that's why he didn't make it in WWE, just like most of the trash that comes out of CZW.
