My Take
What draws me to Josh Briggs is the symbolism of his career path. Carrying the final Evolve Championship into WWE's NXT, he's a living bridge between the gritty indie scene and the corporate machine, a man who closed one chapter and opened another. Hailing from the desert town of Bullhead City, Arizona, there's a no-frills, hard-earned quality I respect in big-man wrestlers like him. Born in 1993, he still has plenty of road ahead. I find myself rooting for performers who carry a torch forward rather than chase the spotlight, and Briggs strikes me as exactly that kind of grounded, dependable workhorse.
