I've followed Langston since his promotion to the main WWE roster. He may be 'big', may be strong but his mat work leaves tremendous room for improvement. Physically, I've felt Langston became too big. He's not the tallest man in the roster, but certainly can be better conditioned so he may maneuver better in the ring. Big E Langston often appears clumsy for his weight class. At 5'11", Langston likely would feel and move better if he dropped 50 to 60 of his 290 lbs. I think of past wrestlers his size, particularly Chris Benoit and Perry Saturn who were between 5'10" and 5'11" respectively and maintained a managable 230 lbs. Probably the best conditioned competitors of their time. I believe Langston can be close to being like them if he trains a bit more. He's managed to address the issue of his ill-fitting ring-attire, now he just needs time to improve in-ring work and his conditioning.

However, since he has pushed into title hunts and other feuds, I am curiously waiting for him to win a championship. The Intercontinental title is a good start. If not, then he ought to find a partner and join the Tag Team champion division. Just my thoughts on Big E.
