The Wrestling Thread's got...needs - Part 216

Regarding Tyler Breeze going from WWE NXT to the main roster, Triple H reportedly really wanted to protect Breeze and saw him as a heel on the level of Dolph Ziggler. Vince McMahon agreed and started Breeze at that level but then wasn’t convinced and ended the push immediately.

I'm not surprised...*sigh*

This is why we can't have nice things.

He needs a better gimmick IMO.

Bray is an octave compared to the one note that is Alberto Del Rio. Focuses soley on the "injury" he does to his opponent and has to be helped by a League of Nations team mate.

BORING!!!!

Alberto was 100X more entertaining as AAA Mega Champion and in Lucha Underground as El Patron. In general AAA suffers from many of the same problems as TNA and WWE (plenty of talent but trainwreck booking and creative), but they did right by Alberto.

And the Tyler Breeze/Dolph Ziggler comparison is a good one in my book, but probably not for the same reasons others think. I can't stand either of them. Ziggler oversells everything and is constantly put in terrible angles (for which I blame creative, not Ziggler himself).

I like Ziggler, but he comes across as awkward in every segment I've seen him in. Now, it may be due to lack of chemistry, or the other person failing, but I found it comical when they said he has a successful improv comedy career.

But now that I think about it, if that is true and that's where he shines, then let him build a character out of that.

Elias Sampson has serious potential. Dude has that quality that guys like Ambrose, Sandow, and Wyatt have where they convey so much with body language, facial expressions, and little flourishes like the way he worked that headlock. Plus, he has the type of build Vince likes.

 

[TheCommissioner]

uh what? I don't see any of that

he comes off like some rando with a s****y gimmick

 

[Pink Ranger]

Could be a case of a good performer with a bad character, a la Ringmaster.

Okay then. Whatever. I noticed little things he does that just give me that vibe personally. He still needs some work.

 

[SpideyVille]

So WhatCulture did an interview with AJ Styles, and they didn't ask him outright if he was going to WWE, but they asked if he would be free to go to a hypothetical wrestling event they were throwing on January 24th, and his answer was a simple "Yes." Take of that what you will.

In other related news, they mention a video of Hogan on a wrecking ball. Do yourself a favorite and don't look it up.

If only there was a place in WWE for Elias Sampson to develop his skills.

LL needs to guest host Raw again, this time doing a humourous lip sync battle with New Day, Ryback and the Outcasts.

Big Slow was on Lip Sync Battle last night with Olivia Munn. Why you think I posted that pic?

I'm aware, but I'd also like to see LL on Raw again, especially interacting with the New Day.
