Should Remain in NXT #2: Kona Reeves

Kona Reeves; Future star or all hype? It remains to be seen which is true, which is why he should remain on NXT.

The big man Kona Reeves has already tasted championship gold on the independent circuit. He reigned as the World Extreme Wrestling champion shortly after his debut, based mostly on his size and ability to work the microphone.

WWE quickly snapped up what they considered to be a blue chip talent, and put him into their developmental brand of NXT. So far, Kona Reeves hasn't done a whole lot on the brand, but his role seems to be gradually expanding. There are indications that WWE is very high on the young Hawaiian native, and that could mean an early trip up to the main roster, which just might be a mistake.

Why he should remain on NXT: Kona Reeves has more experience under his belt, but his character and delivery aren't fully developed yet. More time on camera in NXT should help him with this.
