I thought this segment was made of win. In less than 10 minutes (Big Show + Tyler), Kaval was firmly established as a "never give up" underdog face who will accept any challenge regardless of the odds. Basically the next Mysterio. As for Tyler Reks, it's a very similar ploy to the Nexus debut really, in that it's managed to get people interested in and talking about someone who is essentially an obscure nobody in WWE. Depending where creative decide to go with this next week and at Bragging Rights, Tyler Reks could get real over real fast, which is always a good thing IMO. (Or maybe they just brought him in as someone for Kaval to feud with... but I'm utterly convinced Kaval's jobbing streak is leading up to a different storyline.)
Anyway, I thought they pulled it off really well, and Tyler Reks seems to have taken several levels in badass since WWECW. (compare the moaning in the spoiler thread compared to the general positivity above)
