 Booking is one of the most important things in a wrestling company. It can either make a superstar or break a superstar. Booking should be held to the highest regard and it seems like when it comes to WWE and the main roster, their booking decisions a lot of times don't make a liquor sense. Sometimes it's perfect. Other times it is complete dog water. And this is why I feel like NXT stars don't go as far as they should have, not because of their talent, it's because of the booking decisions provided by Vince McMahon and the people in creative. What's good Josh? I'll be right back again with another video so you guys on my last video definitely wanted me to talk about NXT stars not being properly pushed or ruined on the main roster. And I definitely got a lot of comments agreeing with me that NXT stars are not being properly utilized or most of them haven't and then I've gotten some some individuals that feel like I'm not in the right here or or they're not in the greens with me. I'm not trying to be right or, you know, try to have my opinion is the right opinion. But there were some of the disagreements in the comment sections and I'm okay with that. I'm cool to agree to disagree as long as it's respectful. I'm cool with that. So I'm going to talk about some of the wrestlers that I feel like did get over successfully. I want to talk about that first. And if they're booking decisions, the booking decisions that was made for them could have been better and then I'm going to talk about the ones that I feel like did not get the proper push at all and is essentially or was essentially ruined. So that and these are my personal opinions on how I view these characters. So before I get into this, I do want to make this very clear. I do know NXT is different from the main roster or how they move especially how they used to move things when Triple H was, you know, in command. I understand that at the same time it's under the WWE umbrella and we know that it's more on the developmental side to really get people ready for the main roster. There's no denying that. So you can say it's a separate brand, which it is, but it's a brand that caters more to the wrestling fans. I know that like wrestling more than just the the I guess you could say the theatrics like they like good wrestling. And it's more the WWE style to get people ready for the main roster. So I know the difference, but you can still make it work and it should work on the main roster. But we're going to get into the stars that I do feel like WWE treated them well in booking decisions and they ultimately did get over. So I'm going to go through some of them that I came up with on the list. Shield Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose when he was in WWE, they were pushed correctly. Sometimes they were shoved down our throats like Roman Reigns and at one point Seth Rollins. And then there was some questionable booking with Dean Ambrose. If you guys remember the whole bang gimmick when he turned heel, there was some questionable things, but for the most part they were in good feuds, good main event feuds. And they were at the top of the card and it made sense. So I was okay with that for the most part. Them being pushed properly from NXT, that was good on WWE's part. Drew McIntyre, even though technically Drew was in the company many years ago, then they released him, he came back in an NXT and then they brought him to the main roster. But Drew, if we're just going off of just coming from NXT again, Drew definitely benefited from the booking decisions sometimes, sometimes. But as of from last year or whatnot, they went, they did the right thing by booking him in certain situations and he comes off as believable. So it worked for Drew. Kevin Owens is another person. One of his debuts was attacking John Cena. I thought that was dope. They kind of dropped the ball with him here and there. But him winning the Universal Championship was cool. Granted, we hadn't really seen too much from him outside of him feuding with Roman Reigns. But he has had his main event moments and I do like what he's been, you know, when he's done in the ring and some of the feuds he's been involved in has been pretty good. So for the most part, they haven't been perfect with Kevin Owens. I don't think you can book someone perfectly forever. But for the most part, they did right by Kevin Owens. Now, Sami Zayn, he's kind of, he could have went in the list in the tier of not being booked correctly. But for the most part, they did Sami Zayn, you know, some service. I really wish he would have been able to get a World Championship opportunity. I mean, he had the opportunity, but like a World Championship win. I think one of what would have been really cool is for them to feud Kevin Owens with Sami Zayn and have at the time when Kevin Owens was the world champion, have him win. But, you know, unfortunately, that didn't happen. And then I know also Sami Zayn had been dealing with injuries and that kind of derailed his bush. But I do like the fact that he was able to reinvent himself as a conspiracy theorist heel. It works for him. So for the most part, WWE did book him the best way they possibly could. So I'm okay with that as it stands right now. Samoa Joe, definitely WWE pushed him, but not to the point where I think a lot of fans wanted him to be. There's no denying Samoa Joe should have been a multiple-time world champion. I'm just being honest with you. He should have. When he was feuding with Brock Lesnar, should have been a world champion. When he was feuding with Roman Reigns, should have been a world champion. When he was feuding with AJ Styles, at some point he should have won the WWE Championship. I feel like Samoa Joe should have been a world champion before he got injured. I just, I feel like that should have happened, bro. He was, he's believable as a world champion. He is fantastic on the mic and you believe that he will kill you. Whether he's a heel or face, he is great and he's great in the ring, man. So that's the only thing that I wish WWE would have did is actually gave him a world title opportunity to actually win it. I mean, he's had a few world title opportunities, but actually win the match. I thought that would have been cool. And, you know, it would have definitely enhanced his character within WWE, in my opinion. Paula Cruz. Now, Paula Cruz at one point definitely would have been on the list of WWE, the characters that WWE didn't push correctly. But what saved him recently was his heel turn. Outside of that, he was just, he was just, he was a baby face that was very athletic and a lot of people didn't care for. In granted, he wasn't really putting the best feuds and no one was really buying into his gimmick. And I wish somebody in the back would have tried to change him up few years ago. Because what he's doing now is great as him as a heel does new gimmick. Yes, it's great. And I understand sometimes people don't get over right away. Sometimes it takes time, but at one point it looked like damn, Paula Cruz, man. He ain't, he ain't really doing much of nothing right now. But I am glad that WWE has finally given him the time and opportunity to show off his heel work. So that's the silver lining. It did take some time, but he is doing something bringing some type of life characters, you know, life to his character. So I'm okay with that. Same way with Becky Lynch, guys remember Becky Lynch wasn't that over, even though she was part of the four horse women from NXT. She really wasn't that over. People like Becky Lynch, like people like a Paula Cruz, people like like Becky Lynch, but people weren't buying into her. It wasn't until she snapped on Charlotte and everyone loved it. They tried to turn a heel, but everyone loved it. That is when she became over. And that was the moment she needed. And then of course her, you know, nose broken that enhanced her character to like things happen. It was one of those things I don't think Becky was going to get the type of attention she's got now. I don't think she was going to be that character for WWE. I didn't think that it wasn't until when they had her attack Charlotte and then people actually started buying into it and loving it. WWE didn't plan that. They just plan they wanted her to be a heel, but it didn't work. And she became over mega over. So it was cool to see. So ultimately Becky got her gun. She got herself over in the situation now how they booked her. So the booking accidentally got her over, but it worked in the sense. So I have to put it on the side of at least WWE put her in some type of situation where she could get over and she did. Even if it was accidental. Gotta put Oscar on this list. Now, Oscar, she definitely when she first came in, they were going with the whole she has never been beaten. And I love that angle. The only thing I really wish for Oscar because she she was definitely over. The only thing I wish for Oscar is the fact that I wanted her to be Charlotte Flair. I believe at WrestleMania 34 fantastic match. Fantastic women's match. She should be Charlotte Flair. She should have. I'm just being dead ass. Charlotte Flair could have took that loss. I'm not saying have Oscar just completely dominate never lose. But I think she lost momentum when she lost to Charlotte. Now she has had multiple title runs and I'm okay with it. Oscar is cool. Can't wait for her to come back. Oscar is a they have utilized her, you know, sometimes not in the best situations, you know, but for the most part, they have utilized her. So I am glad that they did do that. I just think her momentum slowed down just a bit when she lost to Charlotte. But outside of that, she's still a main player in the women's division. So they for the most part have done right by Oscar for the most part cannot deny that at all. Now these are some of the stars that I feel like WWE did not push correctly. This is my opinion on it. You can we can agree to disagree. You can tell me why you disagree on this. But the first person on top of this list is Ricochet, man. I'm sorry. Ricochet should have at least been a mid card, a good mid card talent. And when I mean a good mid card talent, I mean a mid card talent that I can believe will win matches. Now people can say, well, he's not that good on the mic, which is true. I understand that. And people are like, oh, all he does is slips. I get that even though that's not all that he does, but he is a fantastic worker in the ring. He is fantastic at selling. He sells like a million bucks. And he's a high flyer. I'm sorry. But I grew up in the era of when you saw a high flyer, you thought that was cool. I was a kid watching Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy fly, flip and do all types of tricks. RVD is a high flyer. And we all love RVD. Like seeing these guys wrestle as kids and teenagers, we thought this was cool. And I want to make this point why he should have gotten over and could have gotten over. If WWE would have booked them correctly. Dub and true Billy, you would consider them as casuals. They don't watch the show barely at all. Outside of the clips we check out and the live streams we do. You would consider them casuals when they first got introduced to Ricochet. I have already knew who he was from NAC when they first got introduced to Ricochet. They thought, yo, this dude is cool. Yo, his moveset is fantastic. Yo, I wish we, you know, we could have seen somebody like this do all these crazy moves back when we was watching wrestling. They don't watch wrestling like that, but they enjoy that casual people can enjoy casual people that watch wrestling can enjoy his moveset. All they have to do is book him to win important matches that he needs to win. He doesn't need to win every match and I want to make this very clear. Everyone that comes from NXT does not need to be undefeated, but they need to win. They need to seem important. That's the only way casual fans will give a fuck is if you seem important, but they got to book you to seem important. Sorry, Ricochet is one of these guys that does not seem important. He's cool. Got a cool moveset, but he doesn't seem important. Somebody commented on my last video say, Ron, you don't know what you're talking about. They may end up pushing Ricochet in the future and that could be a possibility. But right now, no one cares. Ricochet cool, but I wouldn't trust them to push him anyway. One of the highlights I can think of for him was facing Brock Lesnar. We knew he was going to lose to Brock Lesnar at the Saudi show, but at least we thought it was going to be an entertaining match. Brock is usually pretty good in the ring with smaller guys and I was intrigued. I was interested. You watch the match. He got squashed. He didn't even put in a single ounce of offense and that sucks. At least you could have had him do something, but he didn't because they don't really look at him as a guy that can beat someone notable. Now granted, he has one. I believe the United States championship, but does anybody really remember that title ring? Not so much. So I'm just saying Ricochet could have definitely been utilized completely better than what he has been utilized. And I hope they do at some point. He may not be the best talker, but his in ring work should do all the talking for him. Karrion Cross, another guy. I'm gonna be honest with you. Karrion Cross was built in NXT as this unstoppable force. I think you keep him the same way. Make him an unstoppable force. Not everybody deserves that booking, but he could have been one of those guys. What do they do when he gets on Raw? He loses his very first match on Raw to Jeff Hardy. I love Jeff Hardy, but why does he have a lose to him? That doesn't make sense. It doesn't, doesn't work. So when he goes back to NXT to try to cut a promo, they just look at him like they just start. They, the crowd in the NXT start taking over the show, talking about Jeff Hardy, Jeff Hardy, Jeff Hardy, Jeff Hardy calling this thing because he just got beat. I'm sorry. You could, in a sense, you can book someone strong and build them up as a formidable force for whoever at the future in the future. And they didn't do that. Yes, he's got some wins. They changed his gear. He kind of looks like a great value gladiator soldier or great value 300 character. Like it's not really working the same. Him having what's her name Scarlett with them walking down the ring. The all that plays in the fact that it could work, but they got to do it and they haven't done it. I don't really care too much about carrying cross because why until they start booking him and he actually gets a momentum going in my personal opinion. He was DOA on arrival as soon as he lost to Jeff. Yeah. He got his win back with who cares? We live in a generation now where people lose interest. If you're not entertaining or you're not showing that you're a formidable opponent or formidable folk quick enough. That's the generation we live in. They'll just be like, yeah, I don't really too much care. He lost to Jeff. I can't take him seriously. And Jeff is fantastic. Former former world champion, but he lost his first match. I don't really care for this guy. He looks like a broke down gladiator anyway. So carrying crosses on that list. Keith Lee know he's had some injuries and stuff like that. I know they wanted to send them back to developmental like to work on his in ring skills. Keith Lee definitely should be a main event player at some point, or they should have been building them up. They were building him up as a future main event player. You guys remember when they were doing Survivor Series when NXT was involved and how he got in the ring Roman Reigns crowd popped. You guys remember, I forgot what WrestleMania not WrestleMania Royal Rumble was. You guys know which one I'm talking about when Keith Lee got in the ring with Brock Lesnar and that standoff. The crowd popped. He has that ability. You just got to let him get to that point. You got to let him string up some wins and not have him lose in certain situations like having him go against. I believe it was Bobby Lashley a few months back. Knowing that Bobby Lashley couldn't take that loss because I believe Bobby Lashley was at the champ at that time. I forgot who is going against where they was the champ and he couldn't the champion can't take that loss. I don't know why but they would book him in that situation, but he ended up losing. I think it just came back could be wrong. But the point I'm trying to make here is to have somebody that has potentially main event appeal, but you don't book them like a main event type individual given that main event vibe. Consistently, they tend to fall to the wayside because people just don't. They're not going to care anymore. Alistair Black, even though he's not in WWE anymore, definitely could have been a top mid car main event guy. I know they were doing a lot of things to change up his entrance and stuff like that. But I feel like they dropped a ball on him. I feel like they dropped a ball on Neville. Neville, once again, another high flyer. People really didn't too much get behind him. I get it. He wasn't the best on the mic or whatnot. But at the same time, he was fantastic in the ring. And then of course, injuries are to play. And when injuries do happen to these talents, it can really mess their momentum up. Because like I've been saying in this video, once people don't see you for a while or you can't win matches, casual fans tend to lose interest. Because it's like, well, we haven't seen him. I don't really care. Well, he hasn't really won any matches. I don't really care. So Neville is one of those guys that I feel like could have really benefited from better booking decisions. Bobby Roode, same way, definitely should have been a main event guy. But I believe there were, you know, some reports saying that they weren't a big fan of how even though Bobby Roode's a heel, he was getting a face reaction with his original theme music. They didn't like that. I was like, bro, that's something that works in NXT. You carry it over to the main roster. It will still fucking work. Yes, he's a heel, but it still fucking works. His interest music, his whole aura, it works. And then they dropped that. Now granted, he had some type of success with Dolph Ziggler, but who really cares about Dolph as much anymore? Even though he's a fantastic worker still, who really cares about Dolph as much? So it's just like, it's one of those things where it's like, I do feel like he should have been at some point a main event player. Baron Corbin, one of those individuals that had some type of promise in NXT, got to the main roster and it never really went anywhere with him. They were trying to push him at some point. And then you guys remember what happened when he cashed in on Jinder Mahal and failed. Jinder fucking Mahal was the champ at the time and he still failed to cash in. Now I know there was some backstage heat and some of these situations, backstage, politicking and heat does come into play. But at the end of the day, man, that really does kill your character. And once that happened, I definitely did not care for Baron Corbin as much. I know he has the jokey funny gimmick now and I don't, I really don't find him that funny to me, honestly. And I have not cared about his character at all since he unsuccessfully cashed in because it's just like, whatever, bro. I get it. Something happened in the back. Cool. And I'm sure you guys will let me know. I do remember hearing there were some issues in the back and it was kind of their way to punish him, I guess, but either way, it ruined his character for me to not give two flying folks about what happens with Baron Corbin on television. Inzo and Cass, one of the most over tagged teams that have ever came out of NXT. I want y'all to understand they were over. It wasn't regular over. They were mega over. Every city they went their catchphrase was being said they had it. All you had to do was put the championships on them and they never put the championships on them. And then they decided for whatever fucking reason to have a brilliant idea. Split them up. They never won championships. You split them up. Tell me why this is why I said beginning of the video bookings matter. Granted, I know there were some backstage issues. Cool. I get that. But come on, bro. You can put the backstage stuff aside when you got one of the hottest tag teams. And WWE hasn't really just had just fantastic tag team divisions. Like we have a few tag team groups that are good, but they usually get recycled and repeated. So it would have been cool to have them come in and be the next the next guys to hold up the tag team division even more. They were over. Then you had Enzo being the Cruiserweight champion, which was dumb. And then you tried to push big cash as a solo act because he's huge. But that didn't work. It only they only work together. And they, yeah, they dropped the ball. Enzo and Kaz, I'm sorry. You can't tell me what backstage politicking issues they had that made sense for them to split them up and not have them win the tag team champions at no point. They were super over, bro. Super mega over. But booking is it matters. Let's see. Chad Gable, Jason Jordan, man. That's another tag team I can think of offhand that really should have capital, you know, been able to be catapulted off their amazing technical wrestling skills. And yes, they got pushed. But not really. They not really. All of a sudden you had Jason Jordan and this whole cringe skit situation as being like the son of Kurt Angle. It was something dumb. It was just cringe. Really, really cringe. They split them up. And who remembers Chad Gable as Shorty G? Come on. I'm telling y'all, bro. Just because they give them these horrible gimmicks don't mean they're utilizing them correctly. Booking matters. They should have kept them together, granted. Jason Jordan, I believe he did get injured and that was one of the things that really kind of derailed him as well. But I should have never split them up from the jump before he got injured. I'm just saying me personally, I think they should have definitely, I don't know, maybe kept them together. That would have been cool. Another good group of wrestlers in the tag team division. Same way with Revival, granted. They never split them up, but they never really got as over as they should have gotten. And I think because they was in silly as goofy segments and goofy views, because they're just a tag team that's there to whoop ass. That's it. They're there. They're old school tag team like wrestlers. They're there to whoop ass. They're not there to be super funny and like that. They're just there to whoop ass. And they didn't get utilized correctly in my personal opinion. I think they, you know, even though they may have gotten tag team gold, that's cool. But at the same time, the tag team belts don't mean as much as they used to. Because the tag team division is not taking this seriously as it should have been. But that's neither here nor there. And that's just some of the people I've had on the side on the list of WWE not pushing these wrestlers correctly. I'm sure there's others that you guys can think of. Comment down below. Let me know other wrestlers. You feel like that came from NXT that WWE did not push correctly or comment down below. Let me know if you disagree with me and you feel like the people that I have mentioned that, you know, they got pushed correctly by WWE and I'm not seeing it the same way. Because to be honest with you, the people that I listed, someone on they did not get pushed correctly. And then some of the other ones I listed at the beginning of the video. For the most part, they got a correct push, man. I just want WWE to continue creating new stars. And that's the only way the company will continue to thrive and be, you know, you know, I wanted to be better. I wanted to thrive and want to, you know, you know, get better over time. But it's going to be hard to do that when you rely on part timers, when you rely on people that have been in the company for a while. That's cool. But at the same time, you have all this talent that you have in one under your umbrella, WWE umbrella. And all you have to do is really make it work. There's no reason why it can't work. People keep saying it doesn't work because it's on NXT. No, it can't work. They just got to book it. That's it. And if something doesn't work, switch it, adjust, make adjustments. But with Vince McMahon, he only really goes for what he wants to go for. At the end of the day, Vince McMahon signs off on everything. So what Vince McMahon says goes. So if he wants somebody to go over, they'll go over. And if he wants somebody to be booked strongly, they'll be booked strongly. If he doesn't want somebody to go over, it doesn't feel like they will get over. They not simple as that. So I just want the best for WWE. I want the best for people that are in NXT to feel like that when they go to the main roster, they won't be left in the shadows or buried or won't be utilized correctly. I want them to be able to feel like, damn, my time in NXT mattered because now I'm starting to feel like what's the point of getting over in NXT when you go to the main roster? There's a good chance they're not even going to try to push you correctly. What's the point? That's just my opinion. So comment down below. Let me know if you agree with my statements. If you disagree, which wrestlers you feel like did get over with WWE coming from NXT, which wrestlers you feel like didn't get over with WWE coming from NXT. Appreciate all your love and support. Road to 60K. Appreciate y'all kicking with me. See y'all in the next one. Peace.
