Now that we have that established. What's makes him a grifter? Please say it with your chest.
Drafted to the Raw brand in 2021 and has only had two career matches, one of which was a house show. Man has more years under a WWE contract than matches.

take a gold medalist & drop him into things with no creative direction no storyline then blame him

:mjpls:

he's a bigger blue chip talent than brock who he's being compared to but they are handling him very different..........

Bigger problem is the system. NXT in 2023 sure as hell ain't OVW in 2000.

Also with everything being on camera, leaves less room for error. With Brock in OVW, the only people who could shyt on him were either people in Louisville, Kentucky who watched the show or people who read what the sheets said about him. Brock Lesnar is one of one, but with that said he still spent I think 1 1/2 years in developmental before being promoted and put on national TV.

If Gable came around in 2000, he'd probably have a very similar, if not better career than Brock since Brock was only there on the main roster for 2 years before he quit.

He was drafted to Raw as a PR move coming straight off winning the gold medal at the Olympics (something I’m sure you hated seeing at the time.) Nobody expected to see him debut immediately after.

Don't know why you think that's on him. He signed a NIL deal with them & continued doing amateur wrestling, they did all that stuff trying to capitalize on the buzz of signing an Olympic gold medalist as quick as possible.

He was still doing amateur competitions 3 months ago but everyone seems to think he's on a standard contract & at the PC everyday for some reason.

How does that make Gable a grifter? Who exactly is he deceiving & stealing from?
Gable got signed based upon his "real" wrestling accomplishments, and now he's learning an entirely new sport. Gable Steveson is an investment & his employers are treating him as such. Gable's bosses are putting time into training that brother &crafting his presentation. It would be extremely foolish to teach that breh just to do a few flips and then put him on tv before he's ready, we see enough of that on Wednesday nights (Hi, Nick Wayne, que pasa Komander).
Gable is learning pro wrestling, staying competitive in amateur wrestling, while still being a college student. On top of all of that, he has to retrain his body's muscle memory and learn the timing for a completely different sport. Nah, there's no grift. That's a hard working young man, and what he's doing requires Herculean effort & dedication.
And then there's the issue of Gable's employers. Vince McMahon has been in the wrestling business for almost 50 years. Nick Khan is known as a shrewd negotiator & businessman. When have you ever seen, heard, or read about either of them getting grifted by an employee? Gable Steveson hasn't been in the pro wrestling business long enough to learn how to grift anybody as slippery as his bosses.
Rereading what you wrote, it doesn't sound like you actually think that Gable is a grifter. You sound like a closeted admirer who's only talking bad because you can't regularly see the guy that you want to watch. You don't hate Gable, you're just mad that you can't have him yet. Unfortunately, that's not fan energy, that's bitter ex-girlfriend energy. Fix that.

:manny:I'm just looking forward to that Cable McStapleton AEW debut.
I would love to see Gable get that Pakistani bag, but that would never happen.
Gable is Black & he can fight for real.
Tony Khan would be scared for his life before the ink dried on Gable's contract.

Breh if Gable could tie his boots in the Gorilla and Khan would think he's practicing a firing stance :whoa: .

Big facts! Shad Khan would probably have to start walking his kid to work every day.
One thing's for sure, though. Miss Kenny & the MAGA Bucks would NEVER run up on Gable backstage. Gable would turn those three into a human centipede. On second thought, Miss Kenny usually only gets to play human centipede on his/her/their birthday; that might actually be fun for them.
