I just saw a promo from a "dark" Johnny Gargano in NXT. I haven't been able to put my finger on it, but something about him just means I can't take him seriously. I put my finger on something today. He looks remarkably like one of my goofball friends. I never noticed it during his matches, but I noticed it when he was trying to act. But I don't think that's entirely it.

Something feels really "crafted" about everything he does. I like that the guy puts effort in, and that they are trying all these different things with him, but there's just something "Dolph Ziggler" about his promos, where it sounds like he is trying to cut a good promo. Content-wise, I liked this one, to an extent. His breathing got weird and creepy, and it's obviously he's trying to force these emotions out, and at least emotions are coming out. But it just feels so...goofy. He finishes the promo by saying:
SPOILER: show
"Johnny Wrestling is dead. I don't know who I am anymore..." then he quickly darts off to the right like "Yep, promo done, gotta vanish."


I'm nit-picky with the guy since everyone seems to love him, but more and more he just rubs me as a dude trying really, really hard to be this heavyweight presence that he's not.
