Outlook - Brad Bradley was an indy monster for some six years before being picked up by the WWE. He worked all over the Midwest and showed promise, but was never good enough to get him out of supporting roles in top independents. Bradley had size though and the WWE signed him up. In Deep South, Bradley Jay was groomed to be a top star and within a year he was given their top singles title. After exhausting his opportunities there, he was sent to OVW and claimed their heavyweight title within a couple months, a feat only a few have accomplished while under a WWF/WWE developmental contract. Since then, Bradley has jumped up and down the cards. He has definitely improved and understands his strengths better than he did while on the indies, but Jay Bradley is still lacking. Jay Bradley's latest look makes him less menacing, however it seems more unique. Moving on to FCW, Bradley could become the first developmental talent to win the top singles title in three different developmental territories. While this seems an impressive feat, Bradley is going into his third year under a developmental contract and he is not winning belts because he is the best talent around. Hopefully, he can pick his game up or luck into a good gimmick, otherwise Bradley may be let go during the periodic mass cuts that come a few times a year.
