is JBL the greatest "out of nowhere" push of all time?

You trying troll but this might be facts. Maharaja has wins over quiet a few legends as champion not to mention that entrance had the streets talking for months.
JBL beat Eddie, Big Show, Taker, Booker on a crazy ass run that is still talked about to this day. I hated him so much.

I barely even remember Jindy had the strap

JBL was good at generating legit heat

Wasnt watching when Jinder came around but Khali was legit awful. They gave quite few prospects some big time opportunities but very few of them took advantage of it like JBL did.

Jinder had it and got it because something was going on at the time where WWE was really making a push to expand in India.

Pretty sure they did a show over there right after he got it.

do 2011 Daniel Bryan or 2015 Seth Rollins (I thought roman was gonna become the champ first) count..? :jbhmm: I only watched wwe and had no idea of their indy success,, so those came outta nowhere to me..! :russ:
Bryan had a push the whole time. From the NXT Miz story to the Nexus to the Bellas manager thing and then MITB.

Alberto Del Rio.

by "greatest" i don't mean in a good way. It was just the most random push to me.

Hmmm..Miz was better on the mic but they prioritized Cena. Barrett got shafted in that era too.
Miz just wasn't ever believable for me.
JBL was at least physically believable.

Otis winning MITB gotta be in the mix as far as random “pushes” (though it wasn’t sustained)

Shyt was :dahell:

Bradshaw wasn’t random. Like Edge Vince refused to give up on him. He had a fued with Taker right after the APA split when the brands started. Even when he was Justin Hawk he was trying to fit him in the upper card. But just like Edge he couldn’t connect until he started playing on his real personality

Shawn Michaels wasnt believable and they had him go over Bret Hart and tanked business while the Nwo went crazy. Pick your poison. Bradshaw was a terrible champion...banana slip victories? Lol.

Shawn Michaels was believable bc he was a previous veteran of being in a tag team, became a solo guy, worked upwards to fighting Bret, and had been wrestling since he was a teenager.

Miz was on a reality show and Vince saw that as being good for crossover.
The 2 are NOT comparable
