Michael Tarver

[2.0] "One more finished wrestler from Nexus, but he wasn't that good even there I think. He tried to make himself in the Indi, but even there he failed"

[2.0] "I wanted to like him. He had the look, seemed like a natural fit as the enforcer type and seemed like he was slowly progressing. Then his improvements came to a sudden halt, much like the whole Nexxus storyline and it was clear he did not have a future ahead of him in wrestling. Hopefully that rap career he went for after getting released is working out"

[4.0] "Tarver worked as part of the Nexus because the rest of the group covered up his weaknesses. Never got a chance as a singles star."

[2.0] "Michael Tarver had a decent look along with some presence and intensity, but little else to offer. There is a chance he could have developed in to something more interesting with more time, but he did not appear to have the tools to make it in a major league promotion."

[2.0] "Another guy from the original NEXUS who had an interesting gimmick, that being a boxer who could knock you out in 1. 9 seconds, but was never utilized in any way to make himself interesting to anyone. It didn't help that he was a pretty bad in-ring technician."

[2.0] "Had a very physically imposing look and was not a bad mouthpiece but sadly he couldn't last due to inadequate in ring abilities."

[2.0] "Had the physique and looks but couldn't wrestle. No wonder he didn't last long in WWE. His best peak was with NXT and Nexus."

[3.0] "When I originally saw him in NXT, I thought he had a good look & a vicious attitude. But as the serious went on, it was clear he was over his head."

[3.0] "Good look and decent mic-skills, but thats it. Seemed pretty average in the ring during his time in nxt."

[10.0] "Michael Tarver is an awesome underrated talent who without a doubt never got a fair enough and good enough shot to stand out on his own in WWE. Sure he was on top of the world once in WWE when he was a part of an awesome heel faction known as The Nexus, but before that on NXT season 1 and after the original Nexus stable disbanded, WWE didn't give him much of a chance and that's such a shame because not only is Michael Tarver a badass in the ring, but he was an unbelievably amazing talker on the mic! His "angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other" persona in FCW was phenomenal and that combined with him being the son of a preacher and a prize fighter, all of that closely resembled who Michael Tarver is! Plus he wore a T mask which made him look like a scary, intimidating dude as well! Had WWE ran with every part of that persona for Tarver back in 2010, it would've been money! But apparently WWE "couldn't make money" with him and that has left both me and Michael Tarver himself confused with WWE's logic behind that unfortunately."
