Was Corey Graves any good when he was on the indie circuit? The only thing I've seen from him during that time is when he hit a crippled wrestler with a guillotine driver: https://youtu.be/j--7KkN7ZnU

He was good enough in the formative years of NXT

He wasn't a great in-ring guy(just fine and maybe even good, just not a super worker) but he eventually found charisma and got really over. Then he got signed to WWE, they put him with Vader's son in NXT and he had to retire not too long after.

He made CM Punk seethe and Punk made some excuse that Corey was somehow a rip off of him.

I saw him at a ROH show and the only thing I took away was how skinny yet fat he looked.

Graves being "We have CM Punk at home" wasn't exactly an unusual take

That meme didn't even exist back then.

I saw them as a team once or twice. Everyone thought they looked like people who might team up together.

He could have done a pick-up artist gimmick looking like that.

He kinda trialled one in "presentation skills" but it never made TV
