| − | His current ring gimmick is that of a hung-over slacker: he enters the ring at an incredibly slow pace (wearing acid-washed denim pants and jacket with a t-shirt of himself wearing another t-shirt of himself), when cheered he gives the crowd a barely-detectable thumbs up sign, he wrestles much of his matches with his hands in his pockets while wearing sunglasses, and his "kicks" and "punches" are barely taps (though fans, staying in kayfabe, "complain" on [[YouTube]] about why the company allows such "extreme violence"), with his signature move being spitting [[orange juice]] into his opponent's face. The gimmick is highly controversial: noted wrestling commentators such as Jim Cornette despise it while other fans enjoy his taking the scripted nature of the business to absurd levels. Notwithstanding the gimmick he is an accomplished athlete (for example, he can kip up from a prone to a standing position, all while keeping his hands in his pockets), having won several independent promotional titles. | + | His current ring gimmick is that of a hung-over slacker: he enters the ring at an incredibly slow pace (wearing acid-washed denim pants and jacket with a t-shirt of himself wearing another t-shirt of himself), he's announced with his origin as "wherever" and his weight as "whatever" or "does not matter", when cheered he gives the crowd a barely-detectable thumbs up sign, he wrestles much of his matches with his hands in his pockets while wearing sunglasses, and his "kicks" and "punches" are barely taps (though fans, staying in kayfabe, "complain" on [[YouTube]] about why the company allows such "extreme violence"), with his signature move being spitting [[orange juice]] into his opponent's face.
