They keep saying he has "that presence"- and he does- but unfortunately, that and being tall is all he has. He's over as fuck in NXT because of those things... that and his not being overexposed yet, but it isn't something that can translate into long term unless he can improve in the ring and on the mic (the only long matches I've seen were his 3 match series with Dempsey, and that shitshow with Rhyno; and Rhyno did some pretty heavy lifting to carry that match to try to get Baron to look like a million bucks). Simply being tall and looking the shit isn't enough anymore, and WWE is on the path of making yet another tragic example of it with this guy.

He shouldn't squash match his way to a championship. He's no Goldberg. Honestly, he should back someone up as outside muscle. The "simply looking menacing" thing is going to wear thin, and when people start asking for the "...and *then* what?" about him, hopefully there will be some kind of answer. Ohh and ahh only lasts so long.
