How does one describe bland without just stating the word?

There was nothing to Manu beyond a basic power game. His physique was neither ripped nor imposing in its bulk, which hardly helped his total lack of aura. He was too small to be big and too big to be small. He was OK, fundamentally - but that was the problem. He could drop fairly quickly into a flat-back, but mostly walked through the imposed routine of flying headbutts and Samoan drops without the same frightening explosions.

Generic in the extreme, he was too generic for the most generic era in WWE history.
