10 Things WWE Fans Need To Know About Austin Aries
4. Has A Character Thats Ready To Go
WWE love strong characters, and they especially adore brash heels who often get their comeuppance from top babyfaces. Austin Aries has, for many years, had a reputation for possessing a cocky persona that comes across as self-assured and wonderful to watch. Aries has numerous nicknames, including 'A Double', 'The Greatest Man That Ever Lived', and 'The Common Denominator Of Greatness'. Fans lap these monikers up, because they sound confident and clever in their wording. Coming into WWE, the guy has a ready-made package to offer. There's a chance that the company will decide to tweak some of these names for merchandise purposes, WWE usually dislike wrestlers coming in with their own reputation. That's an odd idiosyncratic trait of the promotion, but they have relaxed the rules a little for the likes of Samoa Joe and AJ Styles recently. Hopefully, Austin Aries will be the same, and won't be subject to a sudden name change that will cause unrest amongst pro wrestling enthusiasts.
