2. Slow-Motion Squash

Short squash matches probably is the best plan for Omos right now, as his match with AJ Styles last week was painful on just about every level.

But the colossal superstar’s squash Monday night was not a good sign going forward. Omos moves sooooo slooooow around the ring. It was tough to watch as he tried to look like he was toying with the jobber, but instead looked like he was slowly building up to the next power move.

He could still pan out and really get it together, but remembering Braun Strowman’s early squashes, they weren’t this plodding. There’s a way to go here, and this guy is already being pushed on national TV as an unstoppable monster. Talk about on-the-job training.
