Eric Bugenhagen immediately became one to watch

WWE NXT has some of the most acclaimed wrestlers in the world, but it also houses the next group of promotion stars. Eric Bugenhagen, a former American wrestler at the University of Wisconsin and king of the Zercher squat, could be the next big star of the Black and Yellow brand.

Intensity is the first word that comes to mind when we describe Eric Bugenhagen, who has been part of the WWE NXT for some time and made his television debut tonight. "The Bugez" faced Drew Gulak in his first match and, even though he lost, he immediately found himself.

It's hard to describe Bugenhagen because his character deserves all types of superlatives. He's crazy, unique, addicted to adrenaline, a rocker and, above all, a very Positive person.

This positivity has shone to the NXT Universe, fans have welcomed him in his debut. Although battling against Gulak, a 205 Live superstar and one of the best technical wrestlers in the company, his debut was an honor, the fans were much more impressed by the work of the character Bugenhagen. .

Anyone who is aware of Bugenhagen's YouTube videos, sound advice and general philosophy understands the intensity of their approach. The man loves life and he attacks everything he does with the utmost vigor. That's why his character in WWE NXT is not surprising. And the cliché about "creating a character that you shot at 11" does not even apply here, because Bugenhagen always works at 11.

The backstage segments often provide a good insight into a wrestler's work of character and promotional talents, and Eric Bugenhagen has successfully completed his first behind-the-scenes segment. That's all a behind-the-scenes promotion should be, and other Performance Center wrestlers should take note of Bugenhagen's trust and make-up. Of course, he is not hurt that he is able to stay so attached to his character because his character is him.

This is the guy who would have raised more than 600 kilograms and more in "Bullet For My Valentine" or reached the most ridiculous triceps pump with the music video "Shoots and Ladders" in the background. Caffeine, hard rock, madness, whole milk (or dates and seeds!) And the pbadion to create an impact in this world have fed the lifts of Bugenhagen and its state of mind makes him one of the most popular lifters of online space.

This same positivity and infectious charisma were clear to see tonight and Bugenhagen has a bright future for WWE. NXT fans – in the arena and online – quickly adopted Sticky Ricky, which has an X factor that many others on the list do not have; he is not afraid to be "extra" and give fans something different.

Bugenhagen has a world of potential as an accomplished athlete and charismatic performer, and it will be exciting to see how he will evolve on NXT television in 2019. He could very well be this year's outstanding artist and next big star. local NXT. The brand has produced over the years artists like Alexa Bliss, Roman Reigns, Carmella and Elias, but it has had only a handful of remarkable local talent, compared to the many former independent stars who became future champions of the alignment.

That's understandable – the wrestling experience outside WWE is invaluable – but WWE still has to show that it can turn elite athletes from other sports into elite professional wrestlers. Everything about Bugenhagen, from his origins to his personality, shouts "professional wrestler", and it could well be the future star to watch in NXT this year.

I would recommend taking this train very early, and anyone who has followed its work before the WWE can confirm that this performance is not just a flash; Bugenhagen is capable of great things in this area.
