Crews has "it" they've just gotta get him comfortable letting his words match his moveset and mannerisms. I feel like it's there but he doesn't know how to let it out, he needs someone to pull it from him

he's got the classic babyface almost cheesy but believable smile. Jeff Hardy and Rey Mysterio are legends and if anyone here can give me 5 money promos from either of them i'd love a link to them.


This is where a Chris Jericho especially can come in handy,

link him up with Scott Hall since he seems in a good place right now.


Jordan has upper mid potential if he can eventually graduate from hot tag guy, show us you know how to make us "care" about YOU in peril not just care because you're kicking the asses of the guys kicking Gable's ass.

Why does it seem that the more physically gifted a wrestler is, the more limited they are as a promo? There are rare examples where a guy is serviceable, but Crews, his boy Ricochet/Prince Puma, Morrison, Neville, Lashley, Lesnar, Bourne, Wrath, Cesaro, Styles, RVD, Balor, etc are all a bit underwhelming on the stick.

Rare exceptions in the past like Angle and The Rock, but even now with a few guys like Seth and Aries but what is it?

Just because Apollo Crews showed up on the post-mania raw/smackdown doesn't mean he's being called up officially.

We know he isn't ready, and they probably do too. He'll be fine. His character is just boring right now.

Has he ever worked the heel role in the indies?

I think Jordan has the higher ceiling. I'll be honest and say I haven't seen much from Crews though.

I don't think either of them will be WWE Champion, but I could see Jordan cracking the main event in a best case what if scenario.

The physical gifts are the "easy part" of the equation so to speak I feel. think of how many former collegate/ former or "failed" nfl guys that couldn't make it in wrestling.

He was on Smackdown too. He's called up.

Agreed. Crews desperately needs a character defining trait. He shows zero charisma right now. That might be the fault of the people writing his character, but he hasn't really impressed in his matches either. He's what they're looking for aesthetically, but I think he'll just be another midcard guy ala Neville if he doesn't improve on the mic.

Jordan is really good in ring for someone who's only been doing this for 2-3 years, I can definitely see him having a long career in the WWE.

It has nothing to do with the people writing him. Lack of charisma has been Crews' main issue for his entire career, everywhere he's been. He's been able to overcome it because he can do crazy shyt in the ring, but that only gets you so far in WWE, which is why his signing and subsequent lack of any real storylines makes me think he was hired solely because HHH saw the internet liked him.

I think both have a future... Jordan was a jobber for like 2 years or so before teaming up with Gable so there was a time when i wondered really what he could do...i will say the best career choice he ever made was cutting his hair. The hair wasnt absolutely terrible but it gave me flashbacks of Rocky Maivia

Jordan seems to be better on the mic and clearly the crowd likes him more so we'll see... I'm more of a fan of Apollo myself but mainly because of his moveset. The jury is out.

I can see Crews getting the company push ala Lashley, and the streets loving Jordan more

I think people are really underestimating Crews, especially with all the Neville comparisons. Crews is actually bearable to listen to on a mic and he got more strength-based offense (Gorilla Press, Back-Lifted Sitout Powerbomb), and that's without going into Neville's appearance.

Jordan got potential if they let him cook more instead of just being the hot tag in a bunch of matches carried by Gable's exceptionalism.

And last but not least, why can't they both have good futures? This isn't fukking Highlander brehs, I don't understand this "there can be only one" ass logic.
