Right gimmick, wrong wrestler

[OH SOHH TRILL]

TJ Perkins does not fit his character. His character is swagged out, but he is obviously swaggerless. Not sure which of the cruiserweights would be better with it.

Man hell yeah. Cedric would be a better fit for that. Perkins is terrible in this role and is getting 320kbps FLAC CDQ status response.

Ya know I wasn't in on this at first but yes....They could use some sort of demonic character instead of their gay LOD road warriors gimmick they have now

 

[Silkk]

Mordecai was that dude

No idea why they scrapped that character before the Taker feud

Why the hell a GUERRERO of all people was given this gimmick is beyond me.

A minority playing a white guy was destined to fail.

I don't necessarily think O'Haire was the wrong guy for it, he just failed to go anywhere with it. Whether it was because he couldn't deliver it without laughing during live promos which was the dirt sheet scoop at that time or whatever else, it never went anywhere and he ended up Piper's lackey.


Who I think could've been perfect for it at the time was actually the guy in the OP, William Regal. It wouldn't have been much of a stretch from who he's really always been, and from a promo standpoint it would've been delivered way better. Its not like he was doing much at this time outside of meandering in the RAW tag scene before getting sick from a tour of India.

Holy shyt i stopped watching for a while...never seen dude before but it still seems fresh now regardless of the cheezy acting

I knew it! I knew someone would bring up Mordecai

Ascension was fine in NXT whomever decided to change their characters on the main roster

Knew Sean O'Haire would be posted. I loved that gimmick and post it every time we talk about wrestlers we wish had panned out.

Agree with the Corbin/Roman post as well. It's kind of like Corbin is the "true" Roman in the way that Bo Dallas was like the "true" Cena.

he was fire in the ring but he didnt know how to cut promos or talk... @ "Cookie Monster"

i still think that he is one of the worst...granted in ring he's better than a lot of people, i still think his matches arent even all that great either. dude just never fits any of his characters. now he keeps making all these bullshyt movies taking this thread concept to the big screen & shyt

I Think TJ works as a heel with the same type of character.

I know, that's why I put it.

It probably would have made more sense if Dolph Ziggler was Kerwin and Chavo was the caddy, given the tone of the gimmick and all that.

don't think I remember anything else from what all these jobbers did otherwise that have been posted

minus regal of course
