They don’t do a good job at debuting and keeping guys hot.

They hyped up Ricky to the moon, Khan said he signed him because he had a storyline ready for dude immediately.


Lost to Cody in his debut, Sitting in the crowd the next week like a jabroni, and I haven’t seen/noticed him since.


Theres hardly any segments or character development. Like a reason to care about most of the roster. so if som1 doesnt wrestle depending on who they are its pretty much out of sight out of mind

I was thinking Mox was a lock to win, but after the Road To Fight for the Fallen video with both JR and Schiavone picking Mox to win I'm starting to have second thoughts. I would still say it's a 90% chance Mox wins, but I could see them throwing a curveball and having Cage go over and Mox get it back in the rematch

This thread is pretty divisive between people have "shiny new toy" syndrome and calling for these guys to be hot shotted to champion, versus people who think they are just solid mid-carders and should never have gotten such big debut "let's see what you got" storylines.

:hula::hula::hula::hula::hula:

Brodie Lee is the leader of a group who has probably been their biggest "who is it" storyline yet. No matter what he's doing now, that is a good debut and a good spot he's in.

Lance Archer is squashing dudes left and right, and still able to come out brutalizing young boys. In a feud with holder of their secondary singles belt. A good spot.

Cage is squashing dudes left and right, and is a feud for the world title, another good spot.

These guys are all fine. They have to show and prove with these incredible spots imo. Also only one person can get a shot at the title/top storyline, so they naturally will have to fall back after this unless it's undeniable they are superstars. It's can't be all these dudes at the top at the same time.

Protected the fukk out of him while still giving Moxley a pretty legit win.
