[Him]

I like Melo but unfortunately breh just too small for them to even consider making him the face of WWE. They’re gonna go with Bron or Austin theory while he plays second or 3rd to one of them in the future.

With triple h in charge, I doubt that's the case. If Adam Cole BAY BAY was still around, I'm sure trie h would have no problem having him go over someone like Gunther lmao

@Him I been saying Carmelo is the next Rey Mysterio

The blueprint is right there

Dragon Lee is great, I don't see anything about his personality that shows that he will connect with fans outside of being great in ring

Now, that's a high ceiling, but, I see everything kids and young ppl would like in Carmelo

Plus, he can play a heel

Yeah I doubt he will ever be the face of the company but I can see him holding the a world title 2-3 times

Melo stood next to HBK and was like a millimeter taller...did Shawn shrink in old age?

Probably, HBK has had bad back problems over the years.

I was gonna say. No way HBK was that short. I know he was the "little guy" of the 90s but he was at least 5'11 (i think they billed him as 6'1)

But on another note. If melo can put on a few lbs... nothing crazy but sort of like how AJ styles did (remember TNA when he was skinny af?) He should he good. Because AJ is 5'8 but he has the overall presence of a big dog so it doesn't matter. I feel like Melo already has that swagger/aura.... just should bulk up a tad bit
