10 Things WWE Fans Need To Know About Austin Aries
6. Hes One Hell Of A Talker
There can be no denying that speaking is a huge part of pro wrestling nowadays, fitting firmly into the paradigms held by WWE's weekly output. The ability to talk is vital if someone wishes to be a success under the employ of Vince McMahon, and it's thankfully a skill Austin Aries has always possessed. Back during his early Ring Of Honor days, being able to talk effectively on the microphone wasn't entirely necessary. Aries did cut promos from time-to-time, but there was much more of an emphasis on in-ring work over mic handling. In WWE, things are likely to be very, very different. Establishing himself more as a talker in TNA, Aries proved he could carry lengthy promo segments with relative ease. Admittedly, NXT is a much more wrestling-centric show, but if Aries does ever make it to the main roster his skills will come in handy. Exuding arrogance in a way that appeals to wrestling fans, there's no reason to suggest Austin won't thrive if handed the chance to speak.
