No need to beat around the bush here, I think the Title says it all. However, With Wade Barrett just giving WWE the finger and walking away, I thought this list would be a good list to break down. This is 5 Current Roster (Feb. 2016) Wrestlers that would do better in the Indies than in WWE. This isn't a finical decision by the way, I'm talking belts on wastes, drawing power and popularity.
5) Ryback. there is no secret that I personally don't care for this gimmick or his in ring work. Obviously I don't know him on a face to face level, but judging from his in ring work over the last few years I think he stinks. OH!! and by the way he has a new look. Riding somebody's coat tales with this look. It's not enough the crowd chants his name when you come out, because we all know you're a piss poor copy of his gimmick, but now you're just blatant about it. check out this link to see what I'm talking about. http://www.wrestlezone.com/news/670171-brock-lesnar-added-to-another-wwe-smackdown-taping-ryback-debuts-new-ring-gear-photo
So lets talk Ryback. I don't know his History and this Blog isn't a history lesson by any means It's more why he doesn't work where he is, why he won't last and why he would be awesome elsewhere. So the first time I remember seeing this piece of trash he was one of the Nexus tearing down a ring and even then I looked around and thought holy crap that guy isn't going to be good at all compared to those others. Most of whom has already wised up and took their ball and went elsewhere. I'm looking at you Justin Gabriel. Who by the way was a product of WWE not knowing what the fuck they had in their hands. Then like a flame in the Wind "the Big guy" was gone. I'm not %100 here but I think it was an injury. Surprise Surprise Surprise. He is always injured. Why? my guess, I think his supplements (NOT throwing steroid accusations here) make his bones and muscles brittle.
Ryback came back later and had a few good runs. Punks Feud which caused lots of controversy with the Podcast where Punk accused Ryback of intentionally hurting people or at least hurting people because he was a terrible wrestler. Ryback shot back at him, but in the end we will never know. However, its weird that even main event superstars somehow end up injured for long periods of time because they wrestled Ryback. For instance. Wade Barrett has a back seat role in the League of Nations because he is injured. BY RYBACK. right?! I didn't fact check this. So I admit it could have been a different match, but I'm like %80 sure it was by Ryback. He had some Shield, Cena, Henry action at some point. He had the Paul Heyman run and then tagged with Curtis Axel. Then he won the Intercontinental Championship. Injured. Again. Lost it. Now he just kind of wavers in and out for small pops. So why doesn't he work. His Bully Angle was awful. He doesn't work the Mic well. So he's a big guy, that's what we are told. He comes out. prances around and losses. Listen, Big Guy's don't work as Jobbers. I mean they do, but it's not believable. He doesn't work in the WWE, because lets face it they are kind of the cream of the crop. There are way too many talented guys in the Indies that WWE will sign soon that are better than "The Big Guy." How? Well, in NXT you have Crews who is a better Wrestler, more likable, better on the Mic and overall a better fit for the middle card Big Guy. How long do you think Apollo is going to stay in NXT? My guess, not long. In ROH Moose is up and coming and it won't be long until WWE takes notice. Plus, you have tons of Tag Team action there that has big guys. This is why he isn't built to last. Throw in the fact that he is largely injury prone and he just doesn't have the star power to hold a long career in WWE. All of this being said. It's not like Ryback doesn't have his small fanboy crowd. People like the Big Guy. His in ring moves aren't the worst out there (I'm looking at you Roman) and he delivers strong Impact and isn't afraid to get beaten up and take a loss. Several promotions would benefit greatly with the Big Guy on their roster and I can see several large companies putting their main belts on Ryback. Global Force and TNA would really do well with Ryback and he would thrive there. TNA especially would use Ryback in a way that would really elevate Ryback to main event status in the Indie circuit. I think some good quality matches could transpire out of Ryback and Current TNA superstars such as Bram, EC3, and Abyss. I think he could help those companies rise and succeed and become part of something great.
4) Adam Rose- AKA Leo Kruger- Why is this guy such a joke in WWE? why are they using him as a bottom of pile guy? Sure social outcasts is actually elevating a few of them, but I think ultimately it will be Bo Dallas that comes out on top of this pairing. WWE has put so much effort into him you think they would try and make him a top guy. the Kruger gimmick was good, I'm not sure why they ditched it. The Rose Gimmick had me excited at first. That Initial NXT debut was phenomenal I'm talking one of the best Gimmick debuts of all time. That "WOOOO" at the end of the music was just so much fun. Then, WWE went super dumb and took the "wooo" away why? Flair didn't like it. He thought that it was too much like his "Wooo" Hey you old piece of shit! I realize your ancient and tone deaf so let me point out that the tone was different, inflection was different, mooding, etc. However NOPE, Flair gets what Flair wants. I realize he made this business what it is, and I've been known to have 4 horsemen and Flair shirts in the past. However, taking Adam Rose's WOOOO away just pissed me straight off. Then they basically killed the Adam Rose Gimmick altogether in 2015. Why doesn't he work? Well, who the hell knows. The Crowds erupted when he came out, everyone men, women and children jumped out of their seats and danced. People thought his in ring shenanigans and uncomfortable uber sexual approach was great. Maybe, PG-13 Era ate another Dynamite Gimmick. Why he won't last, well WWE is flooding the market right now and too many wrestlers are coming into the Roster. They could make it work, they could bring in another title (TV Title, European championship, etc.) this would give the mid cards something to feud over. however, here is the problem. Not a problem WWE has had for very long either. They have this reoccurring showing by a few superstars during their programming. Not like they used too either. Sometimes in the Attitude Era you would see DX or Stone Cold a few times a show, but they would all be building the main story line. Recently, you have been seeing Ambrose or Reigns a few times a night and it's just separate showings. Give others a chance for TV time and watch your ratings increase. People still need to see Roman and Ambrose and Owens and Lesner, but not 3-4 times a night in 3-4 segments a night. Widdle it down to two. A backstage confrontation, leads to a match later type deal. Rose can't make it in WWE without a push, and I don't see them pushing him. You know who would push him. NJPW, ROH, or ICPW. they would all revitalize the Rosebud movement and really give it what it deserves. A party. Some Championships and an honest chance.
3) Jack Swagger. WE THE PEOPLE. have lost all faith in Jack, because..... (wait for it) He has.... Lost..... his..... (here it comes) Swagger. Wait, I'm pretty sure the only time Swagger sold T Shirts or Merch was when he was paired with Cesaro. Yeah I know he held the ECW title and then was World Champion but wasn't he just a less convincing much weaker copy of the Kurt Angle well.. angle. To me Swagger never had it. He was a bottom of the card guy who for some unknown reason got pushed. His in ring work is stiff. His mic skills suck and when he did dominate in the ring it wasn't believable. Basically, what I'm saying is he was a no talent hack when it came to roster that surrounded him. apparently somebody high up liked him. I wonder if his family has connections to the McMahon family, then it would make since why this idiot got pushed. He is still holding onto this "We the People" thing. It died when Cesaro left you buddy. Get over it. Then leave the WWE. Why? Even though he is pretty terrible, some of the lower laying companies could use the start power he was falsely given by the WWE. namely I think he would be HUGE. I'm talking MASSIVE in NJPW. Could you imagine Swagger with his American Flag running to the ring in NJPW. Man he would get massive heat. Swagger can Sale as well and he isn't past his prime which means he could probably give a beating and really throw in his amateur wrestling skills and make a lot of good matches with the guys in NJPW. How about he takes his clean cut Super patriot act down to JCW and mix in with all their crazy. There would be some absolutely EPIC encounters in both of those companies. He would get extraordinary heat. I'm talking Roman Reigns level heat and it would really be a great way to go instead of jobbing to newcomers like he does in WWE.
2) Emma. I love Emma. Let me just throw that out there. Her in Ring work especially with Paige around 2014 was what the Divas revolution was built upon. The fact that they have put the Divas belt on Charlotte makes me fucking sick. (see my review for anything especially fastlane if you want more) Emma was fun, energetic and sexy in a weird girl type of way. Then. Santino happened. I'm in no way going to blame Santino for her WWE failure. It was hilarious and actually a good spot, but after he got hurt and decided to retire they killed her character. Why is she not in the Diva Revolution? Why has WWE buried Emma. how about a few months ago when Paige was getting cheated and couldn't find help on the Roster they give her Emma and they even the score with the Bella twins. Opportunity missed there. Now, Paige is down and out. Why are the not feeding her to Charlotte. She has mic Skills, good looks, fun personality and way better in ring skills than that joke of a diva Charlotte could ever even hope to have. The only thing Charlotte has going for her is her daddy dearest, Her daddy dearest quirks, and flexibility. Shes not sexy, shes not good on the mic, her voice cracks constantly because she is nervous, and her moves are boring, stale, non creatively named and poorly executed. Emma on the other hand. Her own Quirks, flexibility, shes sexy, great mic skills, calm cool and collected during promos, Exciting moves, fresh moves, creative names (emmamite sandwhich) and fantastic execution. Her finishing move looks way more painful than the figure 8 (lets just do a bridge and by doing that it will somehow put more pressure and then lets just double the 4 to make it sound cool) Plus, it's so fluid that it looks natural. She would be better off leaving just to go wrestle anywhere. She would be a great TNA Knockout. Jarrett would use her well in Global. PCW, etc. anywhere but the WWE so that she could succeed. I have no idea why they buried her. They deserve to loose her talent. The bad Emma works as well. She can Face or Heel who cares. Have her show up in TNA put her on TV and let her Shoot on the Diva Division in WWE.
1) R- Truth. Truth should be Champion somewhere. The little Jimmy thing was great. his antics are hilarious. Lets face it. HE STOLE THE SHOW AT THE ROYAL RUMBLE. You know he did. He still has great in ring talent and they use him in a worthless way. It's embarrassing to him and his noteworthy career. He should give the WWE the finger and go perform in ROH under the house of Truth.
