RazorbladeKiss87 Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 Indie and Wendy Choo. Yep. Also, never thought I'd hear a Brotha Lynch Hung reference on WWE tv. Or the word "opps" but Hayes did it. Loved that promo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He still needs more time in the oven for sure but he checks all the boxes WWE goes for (ie: he's taller) and is charismatic as hell. Carmelo seems like a guy who WWE will not see the upside in, and he ends up being the fucking STAR he can be somewhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KawadaSmile Posted January 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 I dunno. Finn, Rollins, Bryan, all had success in WWE despite being shorter. I believe both can reach stardom, although Trick being funny as hell is something he has over Melo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzalez Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 Rollins isn’t really short, though. And Finn isn’t really being pushed as a star. AJ Styles is a better choice if you want to go with “height don’t matter”. But ultimately with the current head of talent relations, it does.

NintendoLogic Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 Bryan and AJ are two of the greatest wrestlers who have ever lived. So yes, you can overcome height bias in WWE if you're a GOAT-level talent. It seems premature to presume this Hayes fella is on that level.

KawadaSmile Posted January 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 I mean Billy Gunn is a hulking beast but he didn't look that big when put together with other big dudes Jeff Hardy also being tall, like one inch shorter than SCSA, wrecked my brains for a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 Something I realized is that one thing that hurts this version of NXT is because of how sudden the switchover came, everything seems so forced. I know you guys all love ol' Tony Baggadonuts but he has no business beating Pete Dunne. Just seemed like a fait accompli he was winning because Pete's a holdover from the old guard and didn't sell me on Tony being the better guy.

SirEdger Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 Gotta admit that guys like Imperium, Cameron Grimes & Roderick Strong will stick out like sore thumbs, being pretty much the last guys of the old guard on that NXT 2.0 roster. Although, with LA Knight returning tonight, he's gonna be sticking around too. Kinda surprised honestly that Vince hasn't requested Knight on the main roster yet, considering he can talk his ass off.

He had a somewhat decent tag with PAC around 2012/2013, but that was it.

Tony hit him with a crowbar to the face and it sounded like a gunshot, it's far from the worst idea even when one thinks Dunne is the better guy. The bigger issue with Dunne is that he never seems to win big matches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strobogo Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 Corey Graves was about as good of a pro wrestler as Jesse Ventura, I guess. Which is to say he wasn't good but had charisma and was better as a color man (at least for a time) than wrestler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenese Sarwieh Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 His work never struck a chord with even during his SJK run but good on him. If it was me id stay put behind the commentary desk and have a bump-free life making easy money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strummer Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 Speaking of Jesse, just saw him a few weeks ago in a match from 84. He was only 32/33 and looked completely broken down and could barely move. I would assume due to steroid abuse. Kinda funny how 32/33 would be considered spry and young in current wrestling but guys back then were near the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know man, hearing Vince in your ears weekly doesn't sound like that much of an improvement that taking some bumps. Mental health could be more affected than his body.

Jesse had the Promo skills, Astetics and the presence to make up for his lack of workrate. I don't think Graves is bad but I don't think he any special either. Also with , Daniel Bryan admitting that he lied about the concussion issues could this be a move to validate their wellness policy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
