[6.0] "Calvin Raines is very similar to his partner Big E Langston. Both have the potential to be huge superstars some day. They are both intense individuals however, they rely heavily on rest holds. Calvin Raines has improved heavily, however he still needs to improve heavily."
[10.0] "When I was watching the January 16, 2011 episode of FCW, I instantly became a fan of Calvin Raines, not only for his work in the ring but for his perfect mic skills which by the way were tremendous. I know it wasn't necessarily one of the greatest wrestling promos ever on that episode but Calvin was awesome on the mic nonetheless that night as well as the next week when he had a confrontation segment with Jackson Andrews. Plus he has the look of a future champion in WWE and he could very possibly become a main-eventer in WWE in the future so I really hope WWE calls him up either for NXT or just gets called up to the main roster without being on NXT or maybe he gets eliminated from NXT and eventually gets a spot on the main roster. I don't care what happens. I just hope Calvin gets called up to the WWE roster one way or another! This guy is awesome!"
