Shawn Calloway.. Excellent worker in ring skills he really dosent need improving on but I think he seems very bland as a character, vamp that up and youve got a winning combination

What Exodus said. He just needs a look and something to go with and he'll have the complete package, at least as indy wrestling goes.

He allways brings something new EVERY match. I am so mad that he never wrestled me. He doesn't have a character though. You can tell when he wrestles he actually put some thought into his match, which I love about him. GOOD bumper aswell. Damn, I'll get back to you when I can think of something bad about him. He's good.

I'd like to say that hardly anyone has a character. And as far as I'm concerned there can only be so many "characters" that really work. Lots of gimmicks though, but he's never been a fan of gimmicked up guys.
Match wise he's very good. He definatly puts a lot of thought in about the flow and reactions he wants to get during a match. And he really does like to add a new angle to his matches while still sticking to his moveset.
Coming from somebody who knows, He works a great face when he has a great heel to work with (like any good face really). He just wasn't really in any angles this year, there was The FU Kid angle but it wasn't a main focus of the shows (IMO). He's a great dickish "lookin' out for #1" heel as well.
I think he just needs more personality not character exactly. That and GEAR!

I think he just needs more personality not character exactly. That and GEAR! a lot of people lack personality when they are a face. Mostly because being a face is soooooo much harder then being a heel is. I like to work Calloway, he's one of the good ones because he never stops talking to you and I like that, because I talk a lot when im wrestling I hardly stop. Plus I like the fact, like when I would wrestle cody he'd listen and not rush it, he had no problem letting you get in your offense and let you call when to comeback and I liked that a lot. I'm just sad him and I never was able to work a one on one instead of gimmick/tags matches. I also like how he thinks things threw, he is also one of the rare breeds like me, that doesn't care if he wins or loses as long as he puts on a good match. I also am not into his look too much, too generic and nothing that makes you want to stay interested. But I've told him that a few times so that is nothing new. |

I have never had the opportunity to wrestle Calloway, but from watching his matches I have noticed that he is a very good wrestler. His punches are pretty stiff....which LOOKS good but I've never been a fan of. His moves are very nice though.
As far as the character goes, I'm not sure if he wins me over completely. I havent seen much of his mic work except for a promo on one of the brain buster episodes. IMO he seemed too laid back for his feud with FU Kid. But when I was at Matts house he showed me some old UWF footage from when he was a heel and I liked it alot! So I think it all goes back to how Face is harder to play.
But from a workers stand point, he rules. He knows how to excite fans with great finishes and he can think up great story lines.
The man is creative and a huge feature to any fed!
