Meh I don't agree with this argument one bit. I mean most of these new guys have no charisma, presence or any sort of mic skills. They're just generic white bread indie guys who can all put on a solid match but are bland as fukk. You can give them characters or gimmicks all you want but if you're naturally un-charismatic and have no confidence being out there, like Bayley for example, there's nothing you can do really.

Don't forget about sammi zayn.

Kevin Owens is one of the most entertaining guys in combat sports breh. He doesnt belong.

He's OK on the mic, but nothing spectacular. In general, he's bland. What his gimmick? What's his character? WHY is he a prizefighter? Arent they all prizefighters if they get paid to wrestle? He's just a guy who wrestles because he's a wrestler. Bland.

You mentioned 3 people. :russ: Those are the people single–handedly killing the company? And 2 of them are on the show with ratings that are improving.

Only Rollins could be considered bland. Zayn and Owens have charisma and connect with crowds.

Who said killing the company? You asked who the bland indy guys were, and i told you :sas1:

Charisma? Connecting with crowds? :troll: The reactions these bums get would be considered opening-act level when wrestling was really hot, and i'm not even talking Attitude Era. Hell, even go back to like the early/mid 2000's. They have no characters, no direction, and there's really no reason to get invested in them.

Daniel Bryan got Austin level pops and I was told he had no charisma. Guy debuted on NXT game show and was voted #1 by the fans weekly with an 0-12 record while "not connecting with fans".

Montreal is weird though, Sylvain fukking Grenier got one of the biggest pops I've ever heard in my life there in 2006

Sami & KO sold out a house show in Montreal though, so it's a little more than that.

1.9 is improving? The only reason the ratings didn't go below 2 was because they pulled a shock title change with Jinder, smark.
