Apollo Crews, Titus and every other brutha not in New Day need to click their heels together three times and wish upon a (rock) star:

I think it's time for Crews to cook for awhile in NXT and don't come back to the main roster without a plan and a personality for breh.:francis:

I don't think he can choose to go back to NXT. Even if he wanted to, they wouldn't let him because they would be admitting that they made a mistake and we know that they can't do that.

Why was he even brought up to begin with? He wasn't even that over in NXT. I don't get it. You got Naka, Roode, Joe all in a dev in their late 30s and you got unseasoned dudes like Crews floundering on the main roster

I think it was typical Vince seeing someone with the "look" that he likes and wanting that person to be upgraded to the main roster.

I think Corbin is aight. But the fact they used it to set up a Swagger fued :deadmanny:

If Corbin was 6'1" he would be a jobber on Main Event. He doesn't really have any personality and he's just OK in the ring. He's extremely bland and his promos are barely passable.

Who is blaming him for anything? He doesn't have anything that can connect him with a crowd.:what:
I heard that about Kofi and Lashley too. Even a guy named Steve Austin had that same distinction. People are way more believable with proper booking. The simple fact is we dont know what anyone is truly capable of because creative and Vince McMahon are completely inept.

The SHIELD were nobodies pushed as somebodies..it wasn't charisma that got them high spots. Wyatt can run his mouth but he's a loser because of booking. He's definitely charismatic.

That's because The Shield were three talented young men who were going somewhere. They had "it." You can't compare them to Apollo Crews.

Y'all try too hard to make everything about race and yes the pro-wrestling industry is racist, but this isn't one of those situations. Apollo Crews is just boring. Outside of workrate, what else does he have to offer?

I've never heard that about Kofi. Actually I've heard people complaining about him never given a chance which is true. Kofi is good in a group, but not solo.

You really comparing these dudes to Stone Cold? SCSA is leagues ahead of these dudes y'all gassing up. :heh:

Y'all find race in everything, but the fact of the matter is that no Black Man in the WWE had a better chance of holding the "big one" except Booker Tom and we saw how that happened.

He can always go back down to NXT and actually go on a run as the top guy. Wouldn't mind him going back down there and developing a character then coming back.
I don't really pay that much attention to NXT but has anyone ever been called up to the main roster, flopped, went back to NXT and then been called back up again with a successful character?
