>debuts as Spanky, a happy-go-lucky young kid willing to humiliate himself and go to any length to get a WWE contract
>already fantastic on the mic, goes toe-to-toe with Cena in promos; already fantastic at telling a story, makes the audience invested in squash matches; already fantastic in the ring, can hold his own against Angle

>gets teamed with Paul London and given little mic time
>puts on great matches anyway, wins the Tag titles, and has a standout technical match against London on one episode of Smackdown

>turns heel and becomes ***THE*** Brian Kendrick
>God-tier gimmick, everyone loves it and he gets a near-main-event-level push but drugs fuck him over

>goes to TNA and does the exact opposite of what just worked so well for him, shedding his super egocentric heel persona for a laid-back, ego death, hippie face persona
>wins the X-Division title while cutting great promos materialism; does this all while wrestling without shoes

>returns to WWE as Punished Kendrick, a grizzled vet desperate for one last chance at greatness; subverts his old ***THE*** Brian Kendrick persona to highlight the stark contrast between eight years ago and today
>actually tells a fucking STORY with an actual ARC and CHARACTER while everyone else just does generic flippy shit; has a five-star match; literally makes people cry

Just how based can one man get?
