Why You Should Know Donst: Tim Donst bore a striking resemblence in the ring to one Kurt Angle before his turn to the BDK, and it was for good reason. He worked in the amateur mat stylings very well, and in fact he still does, even if he doesn't wear the singlet and the headgear now that he's in the BDK. Donst is one of the up-and-coming elite workers in the business, and it's clear he's being groomed for such heights in Chikara. They could have picked anyone to face off against Bryan Danielson in Cleveland this year, but after the dream match potential with Eddie Kingston was expended in Detroit the previous day, they went with Donst.
His appeal is much more than just as a pure worker. Donst can cut promos and has a great knack for cutting arrogant heel promos. He may be the strongest promo in the BDK, and he's definitely the best on the mic among his running buddies of Sanchez and Lince. He may not have the body type that the WWE is looking for, but he has all the other tools to make it. I wouldn't be surprised if he does get a developmental deal at some point, but for now, he belongs to Chikara and AIW and other indies on the East Coast.
Donst is a guy that people love to hate at the arenas, but whether as a Real American Hero or the cocky mouthpiece of the BDK, you can't deny that the guy has a bright future in the wrestling industry.
