Theres a lot of online hype for him and I want to like him, cool look but I have a hard time suspending disbelief for:
A) a 6 foot 5 guy thats "indy big" working like Taker/Kane. Is it because everyone else in AEW is basically 5 foot 6 in the ring with him? Years I spent watching giants in WCW and WWE and my eyes are just conditioned to a big man being an actual big man. Its hard for me to look past him tryin to work like 7 foot.
B) I cant get over the slow, and I mean slowwwwww execution of his moves. Is that part of the gimmick or is he actually that terrible? It looks like hes moving in molasses or carrying 100 lb restraints on his limbs. Its hard for me to buy into guys taking moves that slow in a landscape where everyone is fast,fast, fast or workrate. Guys moving 100 mph around him have to all of a sudden stop to take the slowest moving kicks ever. Like Orange Cassidy's gimmick could dodge them.

His moves likely looked slow because he was working with a bunch of guys that go a billion miles an hour. The kicks did look a bit rough but that standing moonsault was amazing.
