If they keep booking Omos properly they have a chance to build up a truly special attraction. He’s not on the show every week & is only working with top talent
What do you mean "keep booking him properly" this match was booked horribly. Played out well in the end but set up horribly and only really serves to lower omos' status since liter Everyone can beat the big guy
I think Omos should go to NXT for a while to learn bit faster and also main roster shows doesn't care about NXT win/loss record so what happens there stay there outside of championships.
Better and better? He literally does the same big guy moves over and over.. never even seen him run the ropes and he never takes bumps.. And when he does appear to be wearing down and hes all jelly legged and wobbly, it looks so fake.
Something to keep in mind, at wrestlemania 3 Andre was 44 years old, pretty much the age where most wrestlers start winding down their career. Omos is ONLY 28. They said Andre wasn't beaten for like 15 years before WM 3, and Omos is 16 years younger than Andre was then. If you wanted to build Omos into an Andre, and this might sound crazy, but right now would be the time to start the 15 year undefeated streak.
Like a Wrestlemania streak right? I don't think any wrestler can go fifteen years (full time) and never lose once. It becomes stale. But if the WWE were to sneakily begin building a new wrestlemania streak under our noses...that would be pretty awesome.
Call me crazy but I think Brock should've lost to Omos rather than to Cody. I'm not saying they should follow that up with him winning the title at SummerSlam, I'm just saying he could have beaten Brock. He's a serious contender.
I too was surprised by this match. Rollins was leading this, no question about it, but Olmos made a decent dance partner for him. I’m glad that he’s listening to the vets in the ring.
Omos is getting better. He’s taught himself how to sell really well. He’s gotten more nimble & agile in ring. His biggest weakness is the lack of true finisher. His chokeslam isn’t impressive looking.
They wanted to use Omos before he was ready, but at any moment they can flip the switch & have him go on a tear. I can see him go on an undefeated streak & capturing a title in the process
Omos might need to be a face to win matches but he’s improved so much. He clearly wasn’t ready for main in the beginning but I’m glad he’s getting there. He needs to be in the hurt business if they ever reunite them
He listens to the veterans. He speaks about AJ Styles and MVP like they’re his teachers and not like they’re his friend. That attitude helps him in the ring and it gets him over. Simple, professional and effective.
Omos has been in a really difficult situation. They couldn’t put him in developmental because developmental is broadcast on national television. You can’t have your next giant looking vulnerable to developmental wrestlers. He can’t beat top stars because he’s still green. it wouldn’t have been believable. On the other hand, you can’t do what they have done with him already and have him lose to the top stars of the company either. Giants almost have to be trained like you are developing a secret weapon and hide them from the public lol train them at a top-secret location. Keep them off of social media. Have some top stars come over and teach them things were you are ready to cut him loose
You could take him off tv for a few months, and then bring back Omos as an unstoppable monster. Show a montage of him training and getting better outside the ring and then bring him back.
For anyone who says Jim is all negative talk, show them this video and the Bad Bunny review. Jim truly cares about the business improving whether you agree on his philosophies or not and he will not shy away from praising people he thinks are crap if they are used properly
I think the solution here would be to pair him with a new manager who can "unlock" his true potential and then just have him go on an undefeated streak.
They're being smart with Omos by making him a free agent. He's not on TV every week so he doesn't get overexposed. And they have him working with big names that can help him in the ring. He's making really good progress. The match was good given the fact it had little to no build up.
I knew this would be a good match, and would be Omos’ best match to date, simply because Rollins has been consistently having great matches for at least the past year and a half. Dude just does not miss. Omos is getting better though, and he showed some more personality during this match.
Taking into consideration just how relatively green Omos still is. I think his last 3 matches(Strowman at Crown Jewel in October, Lesnar at WrestleMania Night 2 and here against Rollins at Backlash) have been arguably some of the best he's ever had
I went and double checked Jordan Omogbehin's college basketball record, and they've got him listed at 7'3" as well, so you'd have to think that's legit.
I think their end game for Omos is to gain experience facing all these top stars. And when they feel he can go at it, he could turn on MVP and then he can go on a winning run to get back his aura of invincibility. I think that would be a better way to build somebody up than having him on an undefeated streak. The downside for those streaks is that the streak comes to define the character. Once he loses the streak, there is nothing left in the character (see: Ryback).
Omos is getting better for sure. I will say this though. If I was Omos size getting the super curb stomp. I wouldn’t use my hand to stop my head from hitting the mat. Felt like him doing that took away from the small guy doing something drastic to beat the GIANT.
I think its a reasonable story that as a giant and as a novice he is beatable now, but when he has gained the skills of an experienced wrestler, he will become an unstoppable monster. Size isn't everything, but if he can combine size and skill, (and personality) he can go to the very top.
Omos was great (for what it was) in the Brock match at WM as well. He really seems to get it, and to be progressing as time goes on. Hope Omos keeps improving and can get a push at some point in the future. He could make for a hell of a monster heel if booked correctly.
I wouldn't want him to be another Andre, they have a unique chance to build him now, into something unique an all his own. Similar to how they did with Kali, say what you will about that guys lack of mobility or ring work, but he was this unique, over guy with younger fans and his fellow countrymen. Omos has a ton of personality, I once saw him and Kofi having a play argument about height an it was fun. He kept correcting Kofi pointing out "from my point of view I'm regular size, you just small compared to me" and if they find a way to channel his personality and pair it with the imposing figure, he'll make them bank as an attraction.
This was one of Omos's best matches, but Jim and Brian make a good point what do they do with him now? He's a giant but he's a glorified jobber. It's also sad because Omos is actually an amazing personality if you've ever seen or heard him outside of the ring. Omos could be so much more than just the lumbering giant. The match itself was fun, and Seth looked great and helped make Omos look great as well.
Omos is this generation' s S.D. (Special Delivery) Jones. He's a glorified curtain jerker at this point. Looks mean, looks tough, and loses to Every damn body.
That's not what this video should be about... come on, he has 2 marquee losts and theyve literally made all the fans turn their head and say damn Omos might be something. Now he can start getting Ws and more big matches with W. Shouldve been breaking down him having awesome matches back 2 back, not oh but he lost
They should’ve built Almost as a monster heel from the start. Sure, he was rotten, but so was Jane from AEW and look how the undefeated streak has worked for her. Almost could have been turned into a huge star, but it’s like they don’t want stars anymore. They just want performers who are easily replaceable cause they don’t want a repeat of the rock and Cena who became too good for WWE and went to Hollywood instead.
Hmm. So when The Great Khali debuted and NEVER lost en route to squeezing Rey Mysterio's head until it bled after the backstage skit of him popping a basketball...Corny and Brian: "meh" But when Omos does NOT debut like that...Corny and Brian: "they should have debuted him as never losing!" Come on. As bad as Khali was, the visual of heel Khali destroying people worked. And that's how Omos should have been booked from day one.
They’re booking Omos like after a unstoppable monster run to put over other people but the problem is he didn’t have an unstoppable championship run to begin with so these wins against him aren’t as meaningful as they could have been
Too many people want every wrestler to wrestle like Bret Hart or Bryan Danielson. I think Omos is fantastic, because even though he’s green, he knows exactly who he is. He’s also got a swagger and charisma to him that really makes me enjoy whenever he’s in the ring plus he looks great especially in those suits.
true fans today are into the 5 star flip dive matches or into technical wrestling what do u think they could do with omos to get ever with todays audience
Omos beat AJ Styles when their team broke up but I think that match was on Raw. I also think he beat Bobby Lashley in a rematch after last year's Wrestlemania but other wise it does seem like he's a just a giant for guys to slay. First Bobby, then Braun, then Brock and now Seth who doesn't even match up to him physically at all. If Omos starts jobbing to mid-carders like Gargano and Miz, then we know they've given up on him.
This match was probably the best Omos match yet... It worked and the moves and pace made sense and crowd liked it and it made Seth look like serious underdog whole time. The issue with Omos at this point is that he wrestles mostly only on PPV yet I don't remember last time he won... Lashley beat him, Lesnar beat him, Seth beat him so his credibility is at Great Khali level at the end of his run... Sure he is big but he lost to everyone in the single match he had so why should I see him as threat to his opponent when his win record is that of a jobber.
Omos really suffered from not being in NXT longer. Corny's nickname of "Almost" was extremely appropo cause last year he was almost ready for tv but wasnt quite there. Now the big guy is but i agree, hes been exposed and beaten too much by now.
This conversation of Omos getting better is on the same level as the Miz getting better. I guess Omos is reliable, available, puts in a good effort, does what he's told, and punctual. Omos just doesn't have a beautiful wife and has not been on reality shows or games shows.
Must admit I enjoyed the spot were omos stopped the stomp with his strength, looked really good. Bad things are he lost again and the annoying fans keep singing ohhhh noises instead of focusing on the wrestling
keep jobbing him and then repackage him with alpha academy. Get omos the sauce 💪 and jacked .. have them tear up the tag division and then omos turns on gable at mania. He turns back heel but now he has a ground game
Loved the hell out of this match. What can I say, I’m an omosapien.
*Omosexual
Lmfao
I'm glad we omosapiens don't have to hide our love for Omos anymore
@@JaySeamus we used to get stoned for saying that we loved Omos, now more people have joined us.
Yea I’m a proud Omosexual too
Nice to see Omos listening to the veterans and applying the teachings into his work. Rollins was on-point, as usual. Good stuff!
If they keep booking Omos properly they have a chance to build up a truly special attraction. He’s not on the show every week & is only working with top talent
Not showing up too often to show up and get beat. Yes what a monster he is
You make no sense. He rarely appears and when he does it's to lose to top talent. That's not building anything.
What do you mean "keep booking him properly" this match was booked horribly. Played out well in the end but set up horribly and only really serves to lower omos' status since liter Everyone can beat the big guy
Properly? He loses every PPV match he's in.
Omos is doing really well for himself. He listens and learns. He's advanced so much. Also, outside of the ring, he's a genuinely nice guy.
How you know? You his childhood friend?
Omos just keeps getting better, but they need to stop beating him at some point.
Luckily the match was competitive, so both guys look good regardless of the outcome. I’m sure he’ll get his win back on the next one 🔥
I think Omos should go to NXT for a while to learn bit faster and also main roster shows doesn't care about NXT win/loss record so what happens there stay there outside of championships.
@@JerziTBoss he just put on his best performance. No real need to go backwards with him now.
Better and better? He literally does the same big guy moves over and over.. never even seen him run the ropes and he never takes bumps.. And when he does appear to be wearing down and hes all jelly legged and wobbly, it looks so fake.
I’m a sucker for feats of freakish strength in wrestling so Omos not selling the stomp and moving Rollins foot the way he did was a great touch
Something to keep in mind, at wrestlemania 3 Andre was 44 years old, pretty much the age where most wrestlers start winding down their career. Omos is ONLY 28. They said Andre wasn't beaten for like 15 years before WM 3, and Omos is 16 years younger than Andre was then. If you wanted to build Omos into an Andre, and this might sound crazy, but right now would be the time to start the 15 year undefeated streak.
He needs to be heavier to be as intimidating as Andre.
Like a Wrestlemania streak right? I don't think any wrestler can go fifteen years (full time) and never lose once. It becomes stale. But if the WWE were to sneakily begin building a new wrestlemania streak under our noses...that would be pretty awesome.
@@oslowilde6961 Andre couldn't move like Omos.
Math is hard. Andre was 40
Call me crazy but I think Brock should've lost to Omos rather than to Cody. I'm not saying they should follow that up with him winning the title at SummerSlam, I'm just saying he could have beaten Brock. He's a serious contender.

Omos has now had the right match with both Lesnar and Rollins. He's not great, but he seems to be getting it.
I was honestly impressed he learned how to do Snake-eyes. Very cool stuff.
He listens to the veterans. He speaks about AJ Styles and MVP like they’re his teachers and not like they’re his friend. That attitude helps him in the ring and it gets him over. Simple, professional and effective.
That's thanks to Lashley, MVP , Lesnar and Rollins 👍 Especially MVP .

This is the first match i've seen him doing Taker's snake eyes into big boot and i think it fits him well.
Saw an interview with taker and he was gushing over how much he loves working with omos. No doubt he told him to use it
For anyone who says Jim is all negative talk, show them this video and the Bad Bunny review. Jim truly cares about the business improving whether you agree on his philosophies or not and he will not shy away from praising people he thinks are crap if they are used properly
As a African man I'm proud of OMOS in his progression as a wrestler
When Omos is “ready” maybe he takes a break then comes back as a monster.
This was the best Backlash in the last decade.
Great match , Omos has come a long way.
Omos has lost at 3 straight ppvs in 3 different countries now
I think the solution here would be to pair him with a new manager who can "unlock" his true potential and then just have him go on an undefeated streak.

It's too little too late.
"This is a rhetorical question" lmao, i laughed so hard
I knew this would be a good match, and would be Omos’ best match to date, simply because Rollins has been consistently having great matches for at least the past year and a half. Dude just does not miss.
Omos is getting better though, and he showed some more personality during this match.
I would put omos on nxt have him win the belt dominate for a year bring him back up to the main roster and really push him as a monster
Sounds like a good idea
Nobody in NXT is good enough to know how to work with him.
@@joegreene7619 hbk could do wonders with him maybe , he is still green though so I feel you
Taking into consideration just how relatively green Omos still is.
I think his last 3 matches(Strowman at Crown Jewel in October, Lesnar at WrestleMania Night 2 and here against Rollins at Backlash) have been arguably some of the best he's ever had
The announcer nearly called him “almost”😂
Were the crowd really singing?
The timing made It seem like they were piping It In to me
Okay the match started lets all stop singing at the same time
Wow the entire comments section opinion of Omos changed I’m guessing Jim compliments him in this one
Just shows how good Rawlins really is, to get a better match out of Almost than Lesnar did.
I went and double checked Jordan Omogbehin's college basketball record, and they've got him listed at 7'3" as well, so you'd have to think that's legit.
Hope they book omos so he’s tired of losing and goes on a hall of pain run
I’m glad Vince still loves, respects and is still pushing Andre as the biggest giant ever in WWE.🤘
Vince knows he wouldn’t have had the level of early success without andre.
@@pleaseshutup7053 his dad wouldn't have either. There's a reason he was Stephanie's favorite.
For as much as guys shit on Vince, he’s been 100% loyal and true to HIS guys
There is a clip out there from 3 years or so back where a reporter asks him about Andre. Pretty emotional.
@@SpaceGhost92 except for macho man Bret and Ventura
He's getting better in the ring. Him and Brock had a nice match.... He's been working working
Franklin Rollins!!
Omos beat AJ, flat and clean on a random raw like a little over a year ago. It’s the biggest win I remember him getting.
Omos is growing on me. But I hate that he’s lost every major match he’s had
I don't know about that, Jim. I remember Giant Gonzalez at Mania 9 being introduced at 8 Feet Tall, which would put him taller than Andre.
😂
I think their end game for Omos is to gain experience facing all these top stars. And when they feel he can go at it, he could turn on MVP and then he can go on a winning run to get back his aura of invincibility. I think that would be a better way to build somebody up than having him on an undefeated streak. The downside for those streaks is that the streak comes to define the character. Once he loses the streak, there is nothing left in the character (see: Ryback).
Your point is not completely invalid but Ryback has no character is the issue streak aside he was just trying to be a bland goldberg.
They used to book Andre against 3 or 4 guys at a time. They even had him go against 7 midget wrestlers. They should do that with Omos.
I kinda wanted Omos to win I wish he could get a good push with the proper booking
Omos is getting better for sure. I will say this though. If I was Omos size getting the super curb stomp. I wouldn’t use my hand to stop my head from hitting the mat. Felt like him doing that took away from the small guy doing something drastic to beat the GIANT.

Omos came over to my place for supper a few weeks back. We had rice and some falafel. He's a good dude.

The match sucked and the curb stomp is racist!

Didn't they bill Gonzales as 8 foot
You're right. WWF did announce Giant Gonzalez as 8 ft
Give him Big Show WcW chokeslam where he carry the person around and then slam him along give him the jack knife power bomb and he'll be fine
Omos has lost every program he's been in. You can't build the guy as a top attraction if he never wins.
Giant Gonzalez was billed at 8 feet in WWE significantly more than Andre

Almost could have been turned into a huge star, but it’s like they don’t want stars anymore.

Andre was 6-11 or 7 feet at his tallest. LOL
Yeah Omos needs to start going on a tear to get some bigger build. Like almost seem to be untouchable for a time.
Hmm.
So when The Great Khali debuted and NEVER lost en route to squeezing Rey Mysterio's head until it bled after the backstage skit of him popping a basketball...Corny and Brian: "meh"
But when Omos does NOT debut like that...Corny and Brian: "they should have debuted him as never losing!"

Jim's right, even Great Khali was billed at 7 feet 3.
Omos is legit 7'3
Vince would never build up another guy like Stephanie's childhood friend Andre the Giant. We should know that by now.
Too many people want every wrestler to wrestle like Bret Hart or Bryan Danielson. I think Omos is fantastic, because even though he’s green, he knows exactly who he is. He’s also got a swagger and charisma to him that really makes me enjoy whenever he’s in the ring plus he looks great especially in those suits.
true fans today are into the 5 star flip dive matches or into technical wrestling what do u think they could do with omos to get ever with todays audience
Almost last 2 two matches have been good it may be a credit to MVP who knows
WWF/E has had zero success with building up giants.
I think Omos is legit 7'2", and Andre was just around the 7' mark at his prime.
Omos beat AJ Styles when their team broke up but I think that match was on Raw. I also think he beat Bobby Lashley in a rematch after last year's Wrestlemania but other wise it does seem like he's a just a giant for guys to slay. First Bobby, then Braun, then Brock and now Seth who doesn't even match up to him physically at all. If Omos starts jobbing to mid-carders like Gargano and Miz, then we know they've given up on him.

Loved how he put this together seth is good at what he does
In Omos' defense he spent the first part of his career opening the door for Shane O'Mac.
Omos vs Gunther will be cool 😎
Jim and Brian forget Omos is dealing with modern fans who want Gargano to beat giants. It's all about the work rate cats
We really can't compare Omos to Andre. Maybe a better comparison would be more like Omos to the Great Khali.
How can MVP constantly sell Omos as an unstoppable giant when literally everyone he's fought at a PPV has stopped him? lol
I wonder how WWE would book a Omos vs Andre match.
WWE just jobs out their giants; Khali...Big Show...Omos...
Khali was the worst wrestler of all time
Has there ever been a jobber as big as Omos?
If anyone needs a release it's almost.
The fact that Almost isn’t wearing the worst gear in the history of pro wrestling anymore also helps.
Franklin is great in the ring 😂
Hey look at how many times Big Show lost but he still won belts too. Big Show was the closest thing to Andre.
This match was great just because it wasn't too long.
They have ruined omos by turning him into a jobber. Now he is just great kahli 2.0 but worse
Omos is taller than andre..as is kahli.and giant Gonzalez dwarfed all.of them
I mean absolutely no disrespect to Paul( Big Show), but Andre will always be the Giant. Just like Jerry Lawler will always be the KING.
Crazy 😜 Creative
Jim is right, Omos IS getting better.
This conversation of Omos getting better is on the same level as the Miz getting better. I guess Omos is reliable, available, puts in a good effort, does what he's told, and punctual. Omos just doesn't have a beautiful wife and has not been on reality shows or games shows.
Compared to Giant Gonzales; Omos looks like Shawn Michaels.
That bad huh?
Seth vs Omos was better than it needed to be. Just too bad Omos is just 7 feet tall. Cause outside being tall he brings nothing to a match.
Must admit I enjoyed the spot were omos stopped the stomp with his strength, looked really good. Bad things are he lost again and the annoying fans keep singing ohhhh noises instead of focusing on the wrestling
Lmao. People think Rollins is over when it’s his theme song
You can’t really believe omos is a monster when he loses every match
keep jobbing him and then repackage him with alpha academy. Get omos the sauce 💪 and jacked .. have them tear up the tag division and then omos turns on gable at mania. He turns back heel but now he has a ground game
Omos can b undefeated on Smackdown cant he ?
“What main eventer or midcard guy has Omos beat?” He hasn’t 😂
Omos is the new big show. Both joke of giant.
