Dude's facials are so good. He's more expressive than AJ or Finn, and that makes him for me. Like Dean Ambrose with a physique.

Yeah, he has some great face acting that was just that extra little special sauce selling the damage he was taking, the toll the headbumps were taking on him, etc. So many wrestlers now just kind of let moves happen to them and get pinned or not pinned, bump or reverse or whatever with no emotion and it takes a way a little suspension of disbelief.

I remember during a Ken Kennedy match in WWE, I think Batista had him up for a Batista bomb and while he was up, for just a split second, he started punching angrily at Batista's head trying to get out of the move but ultimately ate it. Really made it look like a fight. I love that stuff.

The other workers hated Kennedy for this stuff. On the one hand it looks like he's fighting for everything he's got, but on the other hand his movements during moves threw off the guys he was working with and caused them to get hurt or feel uncomfortable. It's one of the reasons he got a bad rep with the other wrestlers even before the Orton spot.

I guess that explains why he was an injury magnet. It's too bad, cuz it looked great. drat this sport of ours...
