If you ever followed Eric Young’s career in TNA or NXT, you know he found ways to stand out.

That’s why seeing him during his very rare appearances on Raw are so jarring.

In NXT (and on SmackDown for a brief period), Young led the faction Sanity, decked out in mismatched boots and ragged attire, sporting a long, wild beard. He looked unique and distinctive, which for a guy of his smaller size and build, was important to standing out.

Fast-forward to his tenure on Raw, where he is completely cleanshaven and wearing plain black trunks. He seriously could be any wrestler out there. Hell, half the local talent that gets plucked to be cannon-fodder on Raw are more distinctive-looking than Eric Young is today.

It’s just confusing to see a contracted superstar looking so generic that if they didn’t identify him, half the viewing audience would have no idea who it was.

Scott is a former journalist and longtime wrestling fan who was smart enough to abandon WCW during the Monday Night Wars the same time as the Radicalz. He fortunately became a fan in time for WrestleMania III and came back as a fan after a long high school hiatus before WM XIV. Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
