| 6 | 28.12.2023 | JokerDeSilva | 1.0 | It's kind of a shame that dan Matha will almost always be known best for getting embarrassed and squashed by Samoa Joe, but really, there's not a lot else here. He had an impressive physique, and stood at a solid height, so of course he was always going to get wrestling looks, but he felt intensely generic and boring beyond that in the looks department. No promo skills that I ever saw, and he saw very limited in-ring action on broadcast, with aforementioned Samoa Joe beat-down, a spot in the Greatest Royal Rumble (the less said the better), and a two-match turn in NXT UK as part of the Outliers with Riddick Moss, a fairly generic "look how muscly and athletic we are" tag team that brought nothing new to the table. His big spots were largely strikes and an extended bear hug, and while he did have a bit of explosive athleticism, it didn't translate to actual in ring skills. Just another dime-a-dozen muscle guys who couldn't put the actual wrestling portion together. He seems like a nice guy, though, so there's that. Hopefully his fitness business is doing well. |
