Final Analysis:
Overall, Mike is nearly a complete package. In the ring, he shows a combination of speed, power, grappling, brawling, and high flying ability. He has some charisma and personality; it's not larger-than-life, and it doesn't have to be. What he does works for him. He's a draw with the fans; he has their engagement whether as a face or heel.
He have his moments on the mic, but overall, I'm not a fan of his mic skills. I think he peddles the street life narrative too much in his promos, however, that type of gimmick typically gets over with most fans, so, it is what it is, as that saying goes.
Mike has found a home in TNA, where he has transitioned from a tag team wrestler to main event status, becoming currently on their best wrestlers on the roster. He reminds me of a younger Eddie Kingston, except Mike is faster and more athletic, and I think Eddie is better on the mic. They have a similar wrestling style, and they both do too much with the street life/depression rhetoric. I'm not sure if that's what Mike was going for, but he reminds me a lot of Kingston.
