Today, I dive into the profile of former NFL player and current TNA World champion, Moose. Before I continue, learn wrestling tips and techniques from one the best high school coaches in the country, Bobby DeBerry. In this video, you will learn warm up drills, basic offense, finishes, pinning combinations, and much more. Purchase the lesson here.
 

HT: 6-5 WT:299

Promotion: TNA 

Credentials:

PWI Rookie of the Year (2015)

TNA World Championship (2x, current)

Impact Grand Championship (2x)


Strengths:

-A powerhouse 

-Athletic and agile for his size

-Engages the audience with his action

-Plays both face and heel roles well

Weaknesses:

-Too aggressive at times 

-Could be better on the mic/cutting promos

Final Analysis:

Moose is what some would call a freak of nature. Along with his raw power, he's athletic, agile, and explosive for a guy his size. Although there more wrestlers his size or bigger who possess athleticism and agility nowadays, it's still amazing to see guys like him move the way they do. This is a former NFL offensive lineman.

He knows how to engage the crowd with his actions/antics, and he gets pop from them when he enters the ring. From the wrestlers' entrance music I've heard, he has by far the best entrance music in TNA, and I think that's where part of the pop he receives comes from.

He can be too aggressive at times, and opponents immediately take advantage. Although he's far from the worst I've heard on the mic and cutting promos, I think this is area where he can improve the most.

Overall, I think Moose is underrated. He checks most boxes in terms of what most look for in a wrestler, and although his mic skills and promos needs work, he makes up for it with his antics. He's smarter than most people think, which ties back into his antics. 

Personally, I'm glad he's the World champ, and it's going to be interesting to see what he does in his second title reign.
