12 Live Observations From NXT Download Festival

4. Hugo Knox Is An Absolute Monster

Look at that glistening man beast: how on Earth did he ever maneuver himself around a football net as a goalkeeper in his previous life? He was always on the large size, but footballers as cut as that or as heavy are few and far between.

Still, he doesn't half look the part. You can certainly see why Vince McMahon in particular would be a fan (he looks a ready made star), and he was actually pretty impressive in the ring too. He's surprisingly agile for a big lad, he has good form and he was good in both singles and tag matches. There wasn't much reflection on how well he works with a mic, but his posing and charismatic playing up to the crowd in singles suggests he's got something.

Rather cruelly, Knox's reception fluctuated between the shows: in his headlining tag match with Balor, he was cheered (quite possibly because Balor charitably made him look good), but elsewhere he was greeted with "micro penis" jeers. That's the price body builders always have to pay, I suppose.
