Like his new look alot. The beard works (one of the only wrestlers it works on). The street/cage fighter aspect contrasts nicely with the articulate nature of his speech, and it's a fighting style he looks so much more comfortable performing. Liked him more in those 5 mins of SD than any other period he's been on my TV screen.
Excellent transformation

I loved his new look but groaned when i saw his finisher was a punch. I was one of the few that liked Wasteland

I found it pretty underwhelming too. Also very disappointed to see that his finisher is a knock-out blow. Whether or not it fits his character, these are such weak finishers with no build-up and aren't entertaining to watch. His winds of change and Wasteland are both excellent finishing moves, I hope he still uses them too. Good to see him back though.
