If TJ stayed the exact same prior to his post-CW title winning promo, his gimmick would work. No nikka that calls himself a Wrestling Yoda is to be cheered. He's supposed to be styling on nikkas, dabbing in their faces and boasting about himself.
Right gimmick, wrong wrestler

You're still not seeing the point of the gimmick. You're basically saying it would have made more sense for Clayton Bigsby to be white.
This was WWE's version of Clayton Bigsby.
the "MVP" gimmick could have been huge on the right guy. even tho it was actually his idea. I never bought him in it.
He was TO, had to be a black dude to pull it off. He did great imo, just that he was never going to be fully backed because of
Only other option would've been Shelton

i personally thought the carlito character was cool only for the vignettes and for the first couple of months, i thought it got goofy later

Would have preferred to see the Rob Conway "Con Man" gimmick and theme go to someone with some actual mic skills
I know what it was supposed to be. and yeah, it needed to be a Black wrestler...I'm saying it had the potential to be bigger than what he was capable of doing. they probably didn't have anyone on the roster to do it honestly.He was TO, had to be a black dude to pull it off.

That gimmick was bound to fail no matter what race did it.

still wack. even his butterface valet had more swag than he did
they ruined him the same way they ruined Brian Kendrick on 205. He was gaining traction as a dark character who had issues. Now his character is nothing special.
Older wrestler who wasted his youth desperate to win to stick around sounds alot like a decent level face
MVP did well as that character but i think a tougher character like bad news brown or steve austin style fits him netter....
TITUS ONEAL wouldve been a good MVP type. Or jack swagger if he has an agent as a valet/manager

Swagger was doing alright as a goofy varsity athlete and when he won the WHC, they just dropped all that and made him serious
American Alpha could work as goofy varsity athletes that make inappropriate jokes, hit on chicks, and pull pranks

This is the only post that is 100% false lol. MVP was the perfect person to play that gimmick. But instead of the WWE capitalizing on a pretty hot heel that cause talk and wrestle, they made him have a losing streak gimmick and killed his steam.
Ditto to Reigns/Corbin as well. I realized this after the first two times I saw Corbin after his Raw debut. He's exactly what Reigns should be doing.
