One issue with OC is he's doing a fad gimmick. Reminds me of a modern-day DX but without the same platform. He may seem cool to a certain segment of the audience now, but he won't age well. Seriously, DX was fun at the time, but super shit when you go back and watch. The guys can all work in their way so they get away with the lameness, but fuck me it's bad.
I suppose wrestling is a business of "now," but I feel like timeless gimmicks are what will set you apart as trends inevitably shift.
