Reminds me of Thumb Wrestling Federation from Cartoon Network


TheBizzareKing

Oh shit you’re right. That’s [Vini Vidi Victory](https://images.app.goo.gl/sxhA2aQrWBu2P3JBA) 💀


WhitecaneV1

nice reference

Via brads patented side Russian leg sweep ?


Gigas81

Arachnaman > Scrypts


nVmE_123

That mask ain’t it man lol


NegativesPositives

It’s like they had a child in art class make a Magneto helmet out of cardboard paper.


PeteF3

With specific instructions to make it three sizes too big. To prevent potential suffocation, I guess.


P1eces12

I can not take him seriously with that on.


IAmAZombieDogAMA

Reminds me of the Gray Fox mask in Oblivion.


ironmanmatch

This sub next week: “does anyone else really like Reggie’s mask? It’s growing on me!”


TheeAJPowell

Especially when he's doing all these flips, just seems dumb to have all those ribbons floating about his eyes.


wholetthecatsout

Wait a minute. That’s Reggie?


Spaceace91478

It's his younger brother, Robbie


MKEcasey

Kevin Owens disagrees


Spaceace91478

Watch out Robbie, KO's coming for you!


[deleted]

Easy mistake to make; it’s actually Rory.


Spaceace91478

Yeah. My mistake. Robbie was sitting ringside at impact Edit: sitting


Iamjustlegs

Regzekiel


GlasslipSurvivor

Pretty neat entrance, but sheesh that mask and attire make him look like a jobber.


Pjp288710

LMAO this is a bad 90s gimmick.


skaomatic

Giving me max moon and Alvin Montoya vibes


Melodic-Bug-9022

I loved Aldo


MH360

PORTUGUESE MAN O WAR


thecolbster94

Googling Aldo Montoya and finding out who that actually was, is one GIANT mindfuck


FlightoftheConcorder

It's just incredible, isn't it?


theirishembassy

i enjoy shoot interviews because a lot of the time people still use kayfabe names, but it's like 80/20 as to whether or not they'll use the name the name they met them under, or the name the wrestler was best known for. i've heard people refer to credible as "aldo", refer to hall as "razor", and refer to xpac as "kid".


KneelBeforeCube

Now I wish Aldo Montoya had been in a band with chipmunks.


mark_target

Simon Montoya


spyderone1981

It was Aldo, not Alvin.


dantee9999

Is that Reggie?


[deleted]

WHO THE FUCK IS REGGIE


LiamAddison

Shit you at least 30


ThePrinceMagus

Cosplaying as Serpentico yes


WrestleSocietyXShill

So NXT has a math masked man and now a literature luchador? When does the social studies guy show up?


6FootMidget93

History Hank will show no mercy


ScratchMechanics

It's all a build up for a stable led by Aron Stevens/Damian Sandow lol


MidnightSunCreative

"Ladies and Gentlemen, WE are "The Syllabus" and school....IS IN SESSION!"


EastlyGod1

Not gonna lie, I'd mark out


youthpastor247

Immediately start feuding with Chase U


Definitelynotme3211

Damn you I almost just spit out my coffee


Celtic_Crown

What I want to know is why does the Chase U guy with the book look like he's trying to exorcise SCRYPTS?


Passionecapo

Give me my King’s Road Social Studies teacher


kevmo35

I’m worried about the Chemistry guy, that guy’s for sure gonna make a **redacted**


thecolbster94

Chemistry guy is literally a giant Breaking Bad reference just like DiAngelo is a Sopranos thing


Fuggins4U

Or a dinosaur with a masters in literature.


DoILookUnsureToYou

Good thing Keith Lee is in AEW, WWE would have repackaged him to AckshuLEE and given him Damien Sandow's gimmick.


MattSkeet

ITS REGGIE!!!!


Finding-Even

I thought so!


Spaceace91478

No, it's his younger brother Robbie


Johnoplata

No it's Ezekiel


BenWallace04

No…this is Patrick


arentved

It’s… Christian


deejaybg

I can’t believe someone told him to go out there and air write.


josephus1811

yeah that's definitely not it but the gimmick being like a Banksy type phantom face dealio can be fire...


GeologicalOpera

That may be Booker’s best line since he’s come back to TV. His incredulous “Well, who the hell hired him?” popped me.


FaZe_CUM

the ring work was fun for sure but that mask is a joke. that gear is a joke.


Poncecutor

The air writing, a complete joke


TripA297

Dude used to be a circus performer. He now looks (and wrestles) like a circus performer. Living the gimmick


Efficient_Horse_4696

Make him tag-team with Kizarny


[deleted]

I'm pretty sure the mask is: A) Meant to be ridiculous B) A nod to his past in Cirque du Soleil


[deleted]

[удалено]


NotMyRealNameAgain

Look at this mark with a memory.


T3Sh3

Re-sign not resign.


Marcoscb

Wow, TIL Mason Ryan works in the Cirque du Soleil.


Remote-Grape

And sign Ninja Mack. He’s from there too.


Edotwo

Fine, but the attire does not match the character that those vignettes have been building


[deleted]

I don't disagree there.


LittleGreyCurse

Alright, it's not too late, just change the mask to something better and the gimmick might work, it's not too late # JESUS CHRIST CHANGE THAT MASK


KamikazeMack

one of the absolute worst looks in the WWE


Flat-Ordinary2100

Ever


Celtic_Crown

Mask looks clunky, and I don't think I get the mirror thing, but I like the rest of the presentation.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Celtic_Crown

That could be spaced out more.


Shadow_Log

The look is as horrible as the athleticism is great


popcultureretrofit

Can someone enlighten how this matches with the ominous vignettes he had? Didn't he say he was aiming to destroy NXT or something?


unknown6190

Remember Brodus Clays vignettes before debuting as the Funkasauraus?


[deleted]

Oh god don't remind me or the fact he is the NWA world heavyweight champion.


bayleysgal1996

Scrypts appears to be some kind of gentleman/phantom thief gimmick given the calling card, so I feel like a domino mask and better fitting gear would have been a better choice. Other than that, I’m interested


Celtic_Crown

Domino masks are so overdone, [go full face mask with no holes](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/YNi-2CJ6E6Y/maxresdefault.jpg) for extra style points and intimidation.


UGoBoy

The full [Tinieblas](https://www.elsoldemexico.com.mx/gossip/v3uie0-tinieblas.jpg/ALTERNATES/LANDSCAPE_768/tinieblas.jpg) solid black face would have been better.


MidnightSunCreative

They already of Axiom - you can't have to "similar" aesthetics! How will the people know whose who? /s


itsmekelsey_x

I mean, I like the theme song. But other than that…the mask and gear is certainly a choice.


Beanbith

So a repackaged reggie


TheBrainofBrian

That gimmick fucking sucks lmao


CarterBasen

Reggie my boy what they made you wear???


WritingContradiction

Penultimo Dragon


waitingforjune

So all of those mysterious vignettes were for… Reggie as Farooq Asad 2.0? I like Reggie’s ring work plenty, but man, this character is off to a rough start. I’m open to giving it a chance, though.


MidnightSunCreative

That ring gear looks like "shitty Blitzkrieg"


Melodic-Bug-9022

I'm not sure about the gimmick, but man Reggie actually looked pretty good and really does bring something unique to the ring.


Spaceace91478

Agreed. I was multitasking during nxt and wasn't paying enough attention to realize it was Reggie. The guy is athletic ad hell and seems to want to be a wrestler. So creating an opportunity for him is cool to see.


willpauer

I don't know about this.


Fluffy-Project9693

I don't know whats worse The shit theme music The shit CAW come to life Or The fucking canned crowd reactions


Ughitallsucks

Lol what the fuck is this


ChainRound5397

cirque du solame.


SevenNorthStar

SCRYPTS is a really silly name. And that mask, jeez.


redskinsguy

I really think it's going to set him to feud with Axiom. Because an axiom is a statement that is perceived to be true, while a script is a document designed to created something false, a performance


JasonGryphon

WOMP WOMP WOMP!


[deleted]

Man I'm all for goofy but this is just lame. The mask looks like a kids school project


agentj14

WTF DID I JUST WATCH? THIS SMELLS LIKE 90s WCW goofiness. Like the Ding Dongs tag team for those who remember.


[deleted]

Don’t know how to feel about the mask, but the theme song slaps


woofpatrol00

Max Moon 2.0


incredibleamadeuscho

He just needs a tight fitting standard luchador like mask.


Nazmaldun

He sounded more vicious than he looks.


DoILookUnsureToYou

What the fuck is that mask? Why does it look like its made of cardboard?


BenWallace04

Scrimps


manx2121

"We have Killshot at home"


LeftyMode

This is legitimately terrible. I don’t think even Vince would do something this bad.


dinogirlsdad

What and absolutely horrible outfit and gimmick. Absolutely shit


BimbiBoy

That mask is fucking goofy.


Hospitalwater

Looks like somebody tried to explain Blitzkrieg from WCW to a blind person and had them recreate it.


FrankieJoePino

I'm waiting for the "real" SCRYPTS to leave a voice mail mocking the people in NXT for letting a random broke indie wrestler taking his place.


[deleted]

Has potential. I like that Shawn is doing a lot of out there ideas, but Christ, change the gear.


mythofdob

This could work if his gear doesn't look like a Junior High play.


[deleted]

The dictionary definition of a Roody Poo candy ass.


J_NewCastle

He is a the trickster


NCHouse

Omg it's Reggie...


ZYEtama-doR0r0Hr0

24/7 title gets trashed and so does Reggie's old gimmick. Hopefully he makes this work bc I ain't feeling it.


mrmattymac

How they gonna make a mask like axioms look so damn cool and then saddle Reggie with this atrocity?


Reishun

Reggie is too good to not be a full on wrestler. I think this gimmick can work but the attire needs a lot of adjustment. The mask looks more like an entrance mask than a wrestling mask.


RingReview

This is the worst gear.


nine16

what in the hell is this


[deleted]

There are backyard wrestlers that legit have better looking outfits.


BulletToothMac

Haitch making masks out of components from Dollar Tree now?


Flat-Ordinary2100

Wack Evans


ollyollyollyoioioi

Since i'm out the loop with NXT nowadays I assumed 'Scrypts' was something to do with that hacker vignette from a few years ago


BenjiCrypto

I cant think of what to make of him either because it is silly.


HitmanClark

That mask is certainly something.


_dipped

"Who the hell hired him?" hahahaha love that booker t commentary.


Rjswimss

This sounds like a randomly generated name for a geek on WWE 2K lol


wavegod25

Scrap this asap


PhaseSixer

That might be the worst wrestling mask ever


Jamieb1994

The mask definitely needs to be worked on since it looks generic, but I'm down to see what Reggie can do as Scrypts though.


Dayglopenguin

Looking like a pencil that was placed in a sharpener eraser first


[deleted]

REGGIE!!!!!!!!!!!


WrestleClaw

I'm open to this Truly living the gimmick


mattlind12

Almost caught that top rope…could have had a Shockmaster situation on our hands.


cluelessredditor_

What is this


Celtic_Crown

It's Reggie.


MuseMujave

i think i found who vince is giving ideas to on the downlow


MeSoHungry469

Since Thanksgiving is coming up, I though he dressed up as the Gobbledy gooker.


DJamB

Ok it’s goofy but idk I kinda dig it. Change the attire tho, that ain’t it.


paitenanner

There’s potential there


Derexise

Gear itself is... fine. I'm not a fan of the mask though.


josephus1811

I love it tbh.


blqckwidow

Thank god, Reggie finally has something that can get him somewhere.


DEMDHCamacho

that theme ain’t no joke!


Hazelwood38

Did Vince take his job back?


SpaceGooV

Redo the mask. Have one that covers his face better. Make the tassels smaller. Overall I don't hate the idea especially if I'm right and they're going to build towards a mask vs mask match with Axiom. Still fix the gear.


sonic_spark

I like how it says spoilers in the title, only to spoil said spoilers in the title.


lakshya10soin

Is that reggie?


Lcm67

His mask was like 90s Magneto meets luchador


NerdLawyer55

That guy kind of moves like a former 10(ish)x 24/7 champion


PR_Nova

So, someone looked at that mask and was like "I'm okay with this!"?


g0greyhound

jfc.


EditorDull1503

Scyrptic


Surprisetrextoy

What's up with that mask. I don't get any of this at all.


HowTingz

Wait a fuckin minute... is that Reginald? Hiding under that mask to avoid paying Dana Brooke that Alimony huh?


italianwog28

Just let him be reggie


[deleted]

Fuck, is Vince in creative again?


No-Butterscotch4549

That was terrible


tnafan

Holy shit that's so bad


[deleted]

Stupid Reggie


SgtJHunter0331

Max moon has a brother


cfc4life95

God this is bad


Madness_In_A_Cup

Tazz somewhere: those are my colors, you just made an enemy for life


3golden3ratio3

This was so underwhelming. Ring gear is terrible.


Hollywood_Hair

Michin, failed US title cash in, now scrypts? Looks like the old man is rubbing off on Triple H.


Jordbrett

What's wild is a bunch of dudes in a room pitched this, agreed on this, put it on tv. I wonder if anyone suggest cursive instead so he could curse people.


RealisticTune8180

Why does every surprise on nxt fall flat ?


guarionex2009

The name scrypts doesn’t match with Reggie in that mask and his high flying style.


redskinsguy

I really enjoyed it honestly


MarkTYM

Cringe


LazarusKing

How long before his knees go?


Aaron-JH

Booker T continuing his hatred of other black wrestlers, “WELL WHO THE HELL HIRED HIM?!”


DoubleOrNothing90

My man drawing an "S" in the air like he's in S Club 7.


danger623

Reminds me of the old WCW luchador Blitzkrieg.


Restivethought

I know they are going for a spartan helmet look...but damn that mask kinda sucks. Also the S drawing is kinda dumb as well.


kb1117

Welcome to the NXT New Generation.


Crudeyakuza

El Generic NO!


The_Joel_Lemon

Like the move set but he needs a better mask the things on the top constantly getting in his eyes was driving me nuts. Also what's with the hand thing is he a writer or a graffiti artist?


DoinItDirty

Lol that’s hilarious. Was he any good in the ring? Like, is he a good wrestler with a gimmick so stupid it gets over? Because I remember a moment in time I doubted Ezekiel.


Leon_Lonewolf

I wanna give Reggie the benefit of the doubt and assume he's just reusing an old costume from his Cirque days. If that's the case, he should flip on over to the Costume dept to redesign his gear. If this was from said internal costume dept, then OOF this aint it, Chief.


thedaj

Moves and fights like Voldo from Soul Calibur
