At this point you to consider if you sign with WWE it’s just for a paycheck and exposer. There’s always exceptions but this happens a lot. Some guys who make their name big elsewhere just don’t work out in WWE. AJ having a respectable career in WWE shocks me.
AJ kinda flopped out the gate with what he was doing with Jericho. They let him get a big win on Raw to face Roman for the title the night after Mania. And the rest is history.

Vince and Dunn still have a preference for the kind of talent they want pushed. If you don't look like that then you have to be able to get a response from the crowd that makes it undeniable to them.

Punk, Bryan and AJ got it but EY just ain't get the response unfortunately.

Edit: Then add the fact that he was a TNA original and they probably wanted to make a point. AJ taking the detour to Japan and becoming IWGP champion probably saved him from the same fate as every other TNA signee.
I mean, he pushed Bret, HHH pre-roids, Austin, Pilliman and Shawn and they weren't built like brick houses by Vince's standards

WWE TOO homogenized n scripted. The reason why Sasha And Bayley are doing so well right now is because it looks like WWE lets them do what they want.
It took Ronda being gone, Becky getting pregnant, Charlotte, Paige, The Bellas getting injured and retiring and Alexa amassing injuries like Sheamus to be forced into a tag team to extend her career for that to happen

Now imagine if WWE let EY talk and portray himself like this.

This isn’t home being a clown or a jobber.... this is him with a more champion aura



ey could do it all.
his bret hart psycho pink stampede era was dope as fukk.
plus how the psychology of his dbry bite run job into bdc to psycho pink.
was one of those tna mid promotion relaunches.
that solidified impact will never die was incredible too.

Vince fukked up firing ey. As ey like d bry is one of those very few talents.
that could make the vkm burial bullshyt garbage proposed into gold.

EY needs to grow the beard back.

And that video reminded me of how well Bobby worked with little dudes in TNA.

He always made their offense against him look legit to the point you were sitting there with the :stopitslime: face during the matches even win he lost to guys like Aries, EY and even Eddie Edwards.
