History Wrestling / BigELangston

* TokenGoodTeammate: Continued to wrestle as a face on NXT despite being affiliated with heels on Raw and Smackdown. For anyone watching both shows, this also caused HeelFaceRevolvingDoor.

* OneLetterName: If we're going with the logical assumption that "Big" is simply an adjective, we're left with just 'E' as his name. Though his real name is [[AlliterativeName Ettore Ewen]], which is possibly where the 'E' comes from. Confirmed by an offhand comment by Wrestling/MichaelCole. At one point, however, [[https://twitter.com/wwebige/status/296684402707140608 he joked on his Twitter page]] that he'd start telling people his full name is "Bigamus Ernell Langston," and that [[ViewersAreMorons some would probably believe him]].

* {{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.

* FanNickname: His debut found the internet referring to Dolph Ziggler's new muscle as "[[Wrestling/{{Ryback}} Ryblack]]" and "[[Wrestling/BrockLesnar Black Lesnar]]."

!!! "Big Tropes":

Big E is a one-time Intercontinental champion and a one-time NXT champion. He later won the WWE Tag Team Championship as part of '''The New Day''' in 2015.

* IncomingHam: His ring entrance features quite a bit of barking, chest pounding, and LOTS of chalk. It's a bit Lebron James meets [[Wrestling/PrimeTimePlayers Titus O'Neil.]]
* LightningBruiser: ''Very'' athletic for a 285-pounder. Can also deadlift the equivalent three or four grown men and hit like a ton of bricks.

Big E is a one-time Intercontinental champion and a one-time NXT champion.

* TheArtifact: One could argue, his theme song, which was ported from NXT along with him even though his five-count gimmick hasn't been so much as referenced during his time on the main roster.

* GagBoobs: One of the only men in recorded history to possess them.

* BoisterousBruiser

* FanNickname: [[{{Wrestling/Ryback}} Ryblack]]

* OneOfUs:
** A fan gave him a customized [[MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic pony.]]
** Expressed displeasure at the "Ryblack" nickname the IWC gave him, but approved of "Choc Lesnar".

* PlayingAgainstType: WWE seems intent on pushing him as a no-nonsense aggressive brute, even though he seems to be playful 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.

** AlliterativeName: His real name is Ettore Ewen, which is possibly where the 'E' comes from

* BattleStrip: If you're in the ring with Big E and the straps are down (ergo, his massive pecs are showing)... chances are, bad things are about to happen to you.

* EarlyBirdCameo: Type 2 at Elimination Chamber 2012 where he appeared with other FCW wrestlers at Wrestling/JohnCena's gym.
