This is the best Young has ever been imo, his promos are gold, he plays this maniacal nut job role so perfectly. They've really built him up well too, he's done everything as low as taking a cripple guys prosthetic leg and beating him with it. I just love it lol.

I just love how bat shit crazy he is, and that piledriver, my god he has the most brutal looking piledriver in the business right now, he looks like he's legit trying to kill whoever he does it to. No idea why they didn't put the world title on him, the man is so awesome right now. I'd rather have Young in Hardy's spot right now.

If they don't put the title on Eric soon its gonna be a shame, dude is at his absolute best right now.

Young has proved over the years that he can make every gimmick work. No matter what you give him to do, he always makes the best out of it. The guy went from being a long-time comedy mid-carder to a world champ within a year, and I didn't have a problem with that since he pulled it off.

And his current gimmick is out of this world. He said in one interview, that he doesn't blink when he's cutting a promo, I haven't even realized it before, but he really doesn't. Also his voice adds to the aggression in his promos, since he had multiple surgeries I believe.. I also love his selling, he's having seizures all over the place and is often over-selling, so even as a crazy heel he still adds some comedy in here.

He's also underrated as a wrestler in my opinion. He can have a good match with anyone. Plus, this pairing with Bram works perfectly so far..

Even this promo, its not long but the intensity and acting in it is golden.


If pro wrestling had emmy's Eric Young should definitely win one. He's just so natural on the mic, he never messes up and he always brings the intensity. And as Crash master said, he can make pretty much any gimmick work, no matter what gimmick he's had i've always enjoyed them.

How many wresters do you know that could make all the gimmicks he's had work and be amazing with all of them? Dude can be a goofy comedy character and he can be an amazing psycho heel. Not alot of wrestlers can be that versatile.

I think right now Young needs to stick away from the world title. I'd have it where TNA sends him to a consular because they are worried about him and his thinking. Split him and Bram. Have young feud with younger up and coming guys like Galloway, Eddie Edwards etc.. who TNA brings him. Help them get to the next Level. Young doesn't need a title to make great tv.

As for Bram I think if they put a little momentum behind bram they could push him as a top babyface. Instead of having Bram always wanting to hurt people. Have him start caring about winning matches like he's aiming to win gold. A good idea is to have some english girl just show up on impact one night telling Bram she pregnant. Like they had some past. Play it off that Bram starts having a Softer side and is excited to hear about the baby. He goes out of his way to make her comfortable behind the scenes in the dressing room. Coming up with cheesy names, Buying father son stupid cloths ect... have it wear she's worried about his hardcore side of wrestling because he's a father now and needs to be there in 20 years down the line. So Bram stops being crazy in the ring and tries winning by pure wrestling only to go on a losing streak. After a few weeks of losing he tells her he can't keep going out this way otherwise he doesn't have to worry about being around to be a father because he won't have a job. This is where he finds a mixtures between hardcore and wrestling. By then hopefully fans will see him as a father trying to make a living for his child and found his softer side getting behind him a little.

Well the goal of putting the belt on Hardy was to turn EC3 face and that wouldn't have worked as well if he was facing EY. And while crazy EY is light-years better than low-rent mastermind EY in World Elite he still feels like a guy the rising star would go through before getting the world title shot than the top heel in the company.

Agree with this. EY is the guy that tests future stars, before they main-event. He's a great talent though and TNA are fortunate to have him.

Youn the real MVP

Worked like 7 matches and about 5 segments through 5 days of tapings.

I think EY is a underrated heel too, he's fantastic in this role and his teaming with Bram works well for them both. I just wish they where shown to be a tad more dangerous together, particuly Bram. Have them them jump their foes backstage, attack people for doing even the slightist things that annoys them etc

Got to agree he is just gold at the minute, good mic skills and pile driver looks like he's trying to kill whoever a taken it. I like him and Bram together so keepin away from the title scene is good with me he's fine where he his in the future I'd stick it on him though. I liked how he didn't care about winning a briefcase in feast or fired he just beat the shit out of people, floating to his character perfect imo.
