* PlayingAgainstType: WWE seems intent on pushing him as a no-nonsense aggressive brute, even though he seems to be eccentric and capable of cutting interesting if nonsensical promos. They are also keeping him in standard matches rather than using the five count gimmick that got him over prior.

* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: He's a nationally ranked powerlifter, with a max deadlift of about ''800 pounds.'' MichaelCole once said during one of his matches that he uses a 400+ pound bench as his rep weight. He's very nearly in the class of MarkHenry (who, it's worth noting, outweighs him by 100 pounds or more), and that's saying quite a bit.

Added DiffLines:

* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: Played with in his 'five-count' gimmick. To put it in layman's terms, he liked to beat opponents so thoroughly that he could score a pinfall of '''five''' counts instead of three - and in most cases, it worked.

!!! Tropes associated with Big E Langston include:

* AlliterativeName: His real name, Ettore Ewen.
* TheBrute: To AJ
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: He's a nationally ranked powerlifter, with a deadlift of about ''800 pounds.''
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He doesn't say much, but when he does talk (or tweet, for that matter), it's pretty obvious that his personality is...let's say, a bit off-center. No wonder he and Wrestling/AJLee get along so well.
* TheComicallySerious: Dips into this at points, mainly because he doesn't get to talk much on camera while Wrestling/DolphZiggler and Wrestling/AJLee are both pretty [[LargeHam hammy.]]
* BoisterousBruiser: On NXT.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Type 2 at Elimination Chamber 2012 where he appeared with other FCW wrestlers at Wrestling/JohnCena's gym.
* FanNickname: [[{{Wrestling/Ryback}} Ryblack]]
* FleetingDemographicRule: His gimmick in ''NXT'' was beating down opponents enough for a five count pin as opposed to a three count, a gimmick made famous by Wrestling/KingKongBundy.
* MusclesAreMeaningful: In Big E's case, very, ''very'' meaningful. See CharlesAtlasSuperpower.
* ScaryBlackMan: Double subversion. Because of his [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} quirkiness]], he doesn't fit the profile from a personality standpoint. At the same time, though... just look at him.
* TheStoic[=/=]TheQuietOne: He was this for a couple weeks, and seemed to fit this gimmick full-on... [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JJVwbKDso0 and then he started talking,]] revealing that he is much more eccentric than your usual menacing big man.
* TheStraightMan: Acts this to Wrestling/AJLee's craziness.
