    In case you didn't know Percy Watson is flamboyant, crazy, wild, charismatic, gay and is bringing the good time to NXT. :eek:

    Well thats what I have been told. :(

    He seems to have split the internet in three ways, 1/3 loves him, 1/3 thinks he is bad, and the final third think he is the worse thing to happen to wrestling since Khali got the belt. :eek:

    What third are you in?

    For those who don't know showtime, here is some footage for you to decide...

    Thumbs up from me anyway. He has charisma with a decent look. I have noot seen him in the ring so cannot comment on that.

    The whole "flamboyant" gimmick is quite good. What better way to rile up a testosterone filled crowd than a guy who discusses feelings and shows emotions?

    And with the OTT dancing from his former tag team will only fuel the heat all more.

    Yeah true enough.

    I understand some may find him annoying but its wrestling lads, its not meant to be cereal. :o

    I rather have him as this than as some run of the mill super angry hoss really.

    Great thread yaknowwhati'msayin!

    Love how he claps during matches. So camp, yet so entertaining.

    I think that would be "the worse thing to happen to wrestling since Khali got the belt" group.

    Percy Watson is to me, what Chris Masters is to Rjd2.. :cool::pac:

    Very few things in wrestling really get on my nerves. For the most part I find most things tolerable but not Percy Watson. I actually get angry watching him, he annoys the hell out of me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,242 ✭✭✭chordtype


    Oh no!
    When you compare him to some of the guys in NXT who have negative charisma he's awesome. Not as good as Alex Riley though.

    Poor Dashing. How could you turn your back on him??? Did he show you how to trim your nosehairs at all??;):pac::pac::pac:

    Delighted I'm not alone on having a hatred of him. It's gotten to a stage where I can't watch anything that he's in on NXT

    Oh no!
    Ok he is good but he is no Vance Archer (possible compliment)

    This. There's no shame not being as good as Riley though. He and The Miz will be carrying the company and headlining Manias soon enough.

    Layla has improved so much in just 4 months. Best thing on TV right now.

    You've nailed it!



    For me, I find Watson both incredibly irritating and compelling all at once, which I kinda reckon is the point of the whole thing. Say what you want, but he's capable in the ring, has an interesting look, and gets a reaction. It may not last (I'd predict a gimmick change or future endeavours within a year) but he's as close to being a ready-for-TV guy as Alex Reilly, Kaval or Wade.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 89,015 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Oh no!
    He is fun to watch

    I agree he reminds me of Eddie Murphy too

    I just hate him on a whole. If he was any way good in the ring, I wouldn't be so harsh on him but (imho), he just can't wrestle. His promo's are just cringe-worthy as well


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,905 ✭✭✭✭Handsome Bob


    Oh no!
    I like him, imagine him in a feud with Randy Orton. Orton's intense pissed off silence, Percy's over the top in your face campness....that mofo will draw. :cool: :pac:


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 18,518 Mod ✭✭✭✭DM_7


    Percy is brilliant, Imagine how good bengy would of been with an ounce of Percy's style.

    The thing I like about Percy is he has a great charachter. He didn't have to find a crazy move or start doing dangerous stuff in the ring to get noticed. He found another way, thumbs up percy.
