You mean AJ Styles and Chris Jericho fighting twice on TV before the PPV didn't make you really eager to order the PPV or join the network?

The handling of Breeze is mind-boggling. He's the type of character that should have had 6 weeks of vignettes building the character up. Instead he debuted out of the blue on SmackDown! of all places.
He should have a minder, or security team, or a full blown entourage with an over-worked, under-appreciated PA, make up artist, personal stylist, etc. add on the "Tyler Breeze has entered the building" (or do a dual-screen with his posse shown arriving). |

Biggest mistakes with his call-up was the WWE just making him a useless pawn in the Summer-Ziggler-Rusev feud and flat out not understanding how important his entrance is to his character. |

I do understand that logic but it's a logic that WWE has broken away from. For better or worse. I don't mind, it made that debut Raw for AJ an awesome experience. And the story told was two out of three falls, which could have culminated at Wrestlemania but clearly they have another plan.

I hope the kid succeeds, but I just don't see what stands out about his gimmick, ring work, or mic skills. A lot of people miss the fact that WWE has a ton of studs on the roster. So it's one thing to make the roster, it's another to stand out enough to get noticed. Just as an example, Neville seems to be more talented, but even he's barely kept his spot, mainly due to lack of charisma. I agree that Breeze could have been introduced better, but seeing his work makes me think he was never going anywhere. |

I loved Breeze on NXT, but it was fairly obvious that it would be a "go nowhere" gimmick on the main roster.

Remember when Fandango had his own entrance stage and a giant light-brite of himself as part of his entrance? I had kind of forgotten about it.

It's like that perfect 10 guy. His gimmick would get over for a minute in WWE. But long term it will run is course, and he has to be able to get something else over.
It reminds me a lot of how some people thought guys like Sandow and Fandago were not pushed enough. Reality was they were comedy guys or guys who could play one note. You don't want those guys in the orchestra. |

Except people more or less know who both Jericho and Styles are. It was basically an intro to Styles for the 2 or 3 who didn't.

Neville seemed plenty charismatic in backstage segments on NXT. Especially in segments with Breeze. He's just, y'know, never in any of those anymore.

WWE giving Neville nothing important to do nor a Kofi-like role as the big high flyer is why he's having trouble staying relevant. WWE has completely botched using Breeze since his call-up. While his current gimmick does have its limits, the WWE has done nothing to help him get over or be relevant. |

He's had chances to talk. He looks like a deer in the headlights. NXT is a different animal. Everything is pre taped and re taped, so your promos look better. When you get to RAW you need to be able to swim in the deep end. He can't.

Y'all really need to stop having serious interactions with CyNick. The dude is clearly just a troll and is feeding off of all the attention he gets here.

If you didn't find this Johnny Curtis entertaining, then you're a moron who should strongly consider suicide. |

This segment made me miss all the performers involved. Curtis & Maxine could have been a great power couple act. Triple H vs. Johnny Curtis at WrestleMania one year, with Stephanie McMahon and Maxine in their respective corners could have been huge. The old power couple versus the new one. Both Triple H and Curtis were trained by Killer Kowalski too. A lot of parallels they could have exploited there. Maxine was so fucking hot and Matt Striker was such a gem that could have been utilized a whole lot better. Get Alicia Fox out of the ring and use her as a bitchy manager for someone. |

Fandango would be a perfect guy to have join Shane McMahon. One of the guys that got given stupid shit and has had all his talent wasted over the years because Vince is not happy the ballet didn't get over. Give him a "This is not ballet" t-shirt and have him flanked by a different hot woman each week. He starts using the ring name "Not Fandango." Every promo he cuts ends with his Fandango theme song ringtone going off because "Lindsay" is calling. "I can't talk right now, Lindsay..." can be his sign-off line as he walks out of each interview with the extremely lustful Renee Young.

Both were getting tired being stuck in developmental and asked for a call up to happen (or if it was going to happen). The WWE refused for Maxime which is why she left while they caved into the Bellas demands supposedly because Vince and/or management was obsessed with having real twins for booking purposes. |
