Poor Tino Sabbatelli.

The immensely talented Florida-born 35-year-old hasn't had much luck since he swapped American football for NXT back in 2014.

The former Tampa Bay Buccaneer's run with the company hasn't been the most successful, but it has also been plagued by constant injuries, including a concussion before he had even made his television debut.

But, from the few appearances he has made, you can't deny that he has stood out - he proved that he is far from just a musclehead.

Despite his injuries, Tino's NXT coaches have high hopes for him - but those injuries also make him a liability.

If, however, he can overcome that - and with the right help, it's possible - I could see him being called up to the main roster and being used as a Chris Master-type gimmick. His impressive mic skills should also push him further than most would assume.

Tino, I'm rooting for you!
