Reality Check
Keepin' it 100
He's the same height as John Cena, Christian Cage, Chris Jericho. But nowhere near talented as those guys.
I thought WWE gave him enough opportunities. He's just not that good on the mic. He usually does this generic mic talk like "I'm gonna beat you cause I am better than you, and this crowd don't deserve to see me wrestle, blah blah".
What would have helped him was a run as NXT Champ to show what he could do as The Man. Would have given him some experience at the top of the food chain, and he was young enough to justify getting the reps in that top spot to make him appear more legit (still is young, but the toothpaste is already out of the bottle now). IMO it's why Bron Breakker is not on the main roster now; dude got his reps as top guy, now is getting reps as a top heel, so he'll be ready when he gets to the main show.
