Umaga and Armando Alejandro Estrada

[Eelementary]

What do you guys think of these guys?

I must say, I really like Umaga - he's got some great athleticism for a man his size, and his moves are interesting. Although I do think that maybe the Samoan Spike should be a signature move rather than a finisher. But I reckon he's good.

As for Estrada...Great mic skills. Even though he obviously doesn't speak Spanish (he often says his name is Armando Elejandro Estrada, and he rolls the "r's" in Estrada WAY too much). But he's entertaining I think.

Thoughts?

At first i thought it would be shocking, but after a few weeks i started enjoy watching his matches.

For a big man he can run fast and he can also fly. So that just makes him more unique to the other big men in the company. And i agree that the Samoan spike should be a signature move rather than a finisher. Although in reality it will hurt, it just looks weak when you compare it to a C4 or even a Chokeslam. I don't know if you remember, but in his first match, his finisher was really good. He picked the guy up in the torture rack position. Then swung him around like a F5 and landed a neckbreaker. I think that should be his finisher.

I like the Samoan spike, its similar to the mandible claw as in its a move that can be put on anywhere at any time unlike many.

Its good to see a wrestler manager relationship as we havent seen one in quite a while.

I love Estrada. Hes money.

Umaga isn't that bad. He goes alright. Hate the finisher.

 

[Eelementary]

I like Estrada. He oozes charisma.

He just annoys me - clearly he doesn't speak Spanish lol.

But yeh - they go well together I think.

Love the manager, but Umaga is awful and his finisher is dreadful!

 

[NZ Warrior]

Umaga needs Estrrrrrrada. I think they work very well together. I didn't think it would catch on when they started, but they really grew on me.

 

[pennywisealfie]

pathetic, cant stand them. i hate how he says his name and like, thats his catch phrase.

 

[lotm]

I didn't think it would catch on when they started, but they really grew on me.

i've always liked estrada, but i feel the same way about umaga. he's certainly more versatile and innovative than i thought he'd be. just needs a different finisher.

that being said, i wouldn't like to see him as a main eventer.

 

[PARANoIR]

Judging by the crowds reaction to Armando, I reckon it's only a matter of time before he goes face anyway.

 

[thuganomics]

Estrada is awsome. His charisma is through the roof and has a bright future.

Umaga is great for his size. I don't mind the spike, but would perfer him to have an alternative finisher.

 

[Eelementary]

I quite like Umaga. Great athleticism for his size.

And I've said that like 3 times :lol:.

 

[stuke]

the crowd seem to really love Arrrrrrrmando.....defintely a good addition to the roster. I'm still undecided on Umaga though.

 

[PARANoIR]

I think they should turn Umaga into a tweener of sorts.

They should put him matches with heels and faces and just have him destroy all comers. Have him face some face one week, then the week after have him against the heel.

I think something like that would suit him pretty well.

Umaga = Jamal yeah?

(the guy who was with Rosey in 3 minute warning)

Correct. Originally they were planning to reform 3 minute warning this time, but Rosey got released. Umaga is the ex wrestler Jamal.

another thread ive decided to restart.
any chance of a wwe title run or his he just filling in time. any chance of an ic title run instead perhaps

 

[Eelementary]

Apparently he's being considered as a genuine WWE Champion.

Which I see as a good thing - I think he's really talented for a guy his size. And also, having an "unbeatable monster heel" have the title really freshens up the "face chasing the title" picture. It will make Cena's inevitable "against all odds" victory seem a bit more interesting.

 

[110kgpantherpower]

Nah i disagree i think he may get the wwe title but it wouldnt be for long perhaps long enough for cena to move on to a new feud and for the new champ probably back to the game to be ready.

But as for umaga in general i dont think his all the crash hott dont get me wrong he is good but has anybody noticed how he does next to no moves besides a few punches the spike and the thing in the corner.

But mr estrada now amuses me on a weekly basis so its all sweet.

 

[Sanchez]

if umaga was to win who could he fued with. apart from dx and flair theres not alot of faces
