I’m as disappointed as the next man that this probably means they don’t have anything for Adam Cole, K O’Reilly, or Gargano on the main roster….that is the biggest shitty thing about this.

Cole will have a place but let’s be honest, there’s a ceiling for guys like O’Reilly and Gargano and Vince isn’t the one putting it on them. It’s not just the look, it’s the aura. It’s the selling of the character, of the gimmick, not just with promos, but the way you carry yourself. Brock can talk but his voice doesn’t match his look, so why have him talk? He’s a beast. Come in like a titan, do titan shite, and leave.

Cena lived his character. He embraced it and owned it. Same with Austin, same with The Rock, same with Flair and Hogan and Undertaker. Cole doesn’t have it to that level, but he does have some sauce. Gargano and O’Reilly are talented wrestlers, no doubt there. But they aren’t superstars. Do you really think they can get 70-80k on their feet and invested at WM? I don’t. WWF built itself on being larger than life. And to do that you need the characters. You need the image. Yeah occasionally you’ll have a guy like Daniel Bryan and CM Punk who will hit a nerve and you can ride that wave, but those are blue moon guys. You can’t fill a stable with unicorns.
