  • Sami Zayn

    Bit surprised there's no thread for him already, to be honest, but now he's the IC Champ I guess we can put that right.

    Anyway - I've heard better things about his work lately, probably for the first time since he was very popular in NXT.

    Better, but he is not nearly as in good shape.

      He's been a great smarmy heel. I genuinely don't understand the desire for him to be a babyface in any way. One of the most unlikable talents ever.

        Definitely great as the smarmy heel! Haven't even seen enough of him as a babyface to judge though.

          I think a lot of it fits in with how people may be conditioned to the Vince McMahon concept that only hosses/musclebound guys can be true badasses and can stand toe to toe with everyone.

          They booked him as a face as sort of a punching bag, so they got what they got.

            I really don't think it has much to do with that, because they've booked punching bags or underdogs without issue.

            It's really Zayn as a character. Even the run on NXT that gets praised, I find myself wondering if we watched the same show. He's just a lame weiner.

              Zayn's no longer the IC Champ. 'Unable to defend the title'. I think they're running a tournament or something to find the next champion?

                Sets up another "I'm the real champion since i was never defeated story" which could be really good for Zayn when he gets back.

                  Doubt it'd be really good but it'd sure fill up some of that TV time they have to fill.

                    When Zayn finally returns, he can be less slimy and more of an arrogant dick a la HBK to put in his claim for the IC title. This could be really good, if he is not a chicken shit heel.

                      Continue to hear good things about Zayn as a talker, if nothing else.

                        He's been a regular highlight of Smackdown pretty much since he returned last summer.
