Wasn't a taping but just a live event. Hope it isn't too serious though. All the best prospects aren't having any luck with injuries/suspensions lately. Pretty sad.
I think the Wyatt Family is the most ready, presentation-wise. Of the three, Rowan is the least talented but that's the beauty of a stable - his weaknesses are masked by the others.
I'm not sure that there's a lot of room for anyone else though - the roster is pretty stacked right now and they can't even use everyone effectively that's already there. For instance, Bo Dallas got called up to TV and he's probably had less than 10 minutes of total screen time... not that it bothers me that much, but if you're going to call someone up & not use them, then what's the point?
Graves has a beautiful physique for what he does. If he got all swole, it would not enhance his presence at all. He's not a 'WWE gym boy' in his character, so why on earth would he look like one?
I don't want him to look like a 'gym boy', he could just do with putting on a little bit of size like Punk to make it more believable that he could be competitive in a wrestling match. No doubt he looks like someone you wouldn't mess with in a street fight but that isn't the exercise here.

I'm not really sure how much bigger Graves can even get - he's not shredded or anything, but his upper arms aren't small in the slightest. He's already bulked up since he was signed, similarly to how Ambrose has developed since the day he entered developmental. Graves is pretty much the same size as Punk too - Punk is listed at 6'2" and 218 pounds, while Graves is 6'1" and 208 pounds. And, he's much more defined than Punk is anyway.

It's far from beautiful, though it suits him. He could stand to harden himself up, look tighter. THat's if he can't put on any muscle mass. Still, I'm fine with it, his physique fits his character.
This one is okay, the other ones are bad. I can see his ribs spike out.
That's what I mean, the guy is so slender. I'm not saying that he's not in good shape or it's not a good look for the average person, but when you are competing against 300+ pound meatheads on the main roster then a guy like that isn't going to have too much believability. People complain about Punk's size, yet he's considerably bigger than Graves to look at and also has the martial arts background which allows him to look credible against bigger guys. Don't get me wrong, I'm very high on Graves, I just think he could stand to gain a little mass before he's called up.

I'll quote what I wrote earlier, just food for thought in this argument:

I think you'd be surprised if you put the two side by side, they're closer in size than you're making them out to be. The difference is that Punk's never been a guy with considerable muscle definition, but Graves is one of those guys. Plus, like I stated before, I'm not sure his frame even is naturally capable of adding much more mass - he's definitely put on some muscle mass since he signed his contract though (just like Ambrose has done).
When it comes down to it, I don't think his size matters though because his ring work doesn't rely on strength or even looking strong. The matches he's had on NXT have relied on his ability to pick apart his opponent's knee and soften them up for a submission.
