Sandow got over with an incredibly silly gimmick. Not sure how there wasn't a place made available for a guy like that.
You guys need to remember: the WWE is not a place to expect talented wrestlers, great talkers, interesting characters and entertaining personalities to get consistent pushes....or to even get a push at all.
If you don't have the right backstage connections, aren't related to the right people, don't have the right look, and/or aren't willing to do each and every single piece of bullshyt they may potentially ask you to do in order to be/stay as one of their 'top guys' (a factor that I think is overlooked when discussing why certain wrestlers don't get pushed)....then they don't give a shyt about you. Period.
You're just there to fill up the roster/card, to fill up middle-hour TV time, and to give their chosen ones a fresh new feud that they can use to get that chosen one further over, by eventually burying you. And God help you if they personally don't care for you but realize you somehow majorly got yourself over with the fans; I think we've all learned that from Bryan and Ryder.....they will literally try to push you down just to show everyone who's boss
Some fans complain about it....and yet the fans still pour money and views into the company; showing Vince and Co. that they don't need to give a shyt what fans think
I can't wait for this company to get serious competition again....I know in my heart it'll happen again one day.....
