> Will work as a nobody in the indies in a year

he was funny and memorable just because of his silly schtick.

I HAIL
FROM GREEN BAY, WISCONSIN

MMMMISTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER
KENNEDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

KENNEDYYYYY
why did he say Kennedy twice though

>>2423627
I still find it funny that during his feud with Ric Flair, Flair said that was he did 16 times Kennedy wishes he could do just once.

I always found that pretty personal and holy shit did that statement ring true.

>>2423724
His name was Ken Kennedy, Ken being short for Kennedy so technically his name was Kennedy Kennedy hence him saying Kennedy Kennedy when he came out.

>>2423673
Is that seriously how it all ended up??? Mr. Kennedy was based as fuck

>>2423823
Is that Mason Ryan?
Who the fuck thought he was gonna be a big star?

>>2423824
Nigga I thought that was batista before he got tatted

>>2423817
Really? I thought he was doing his own echo effect this whole time

>>2423819
He probably would have been if those bombings weren't a thing

Hassan could have been a big deal if the London attacks hadn't occurred. But what people also fail to remember is that Hassan didn't really debut as a heel, the gimmick was about all the injustices people of Muslim descent had lived through in the States after 9/11. But since Americans are stupid, they took his serious demeanor as heelish and booed him.

Shelton Banjoman
MVP
Dean Ambrose
Kofi Kingston
Carlito

>>2423960
Dean is salvageable. Just let him be himself and not follow WWE's horrrid scripts.

>>2423966
>chill vibes man xD lol

neck yourself immediately

But Batista was already a big star.

>>2423944
Shut up Sikh shit

>>2423960
>Benjamin
Him and Haus were the shit. So much wasted potential.
>MVP
Good in the ring, but his charisma was basically non-existent.
>Dean Ambrose
This "h-he was good in the indies" meme needs to die. Being good in the indies and being good in something like the WWE is like an indie game dev comparing themselves to a AAA developer. It's retarded and shows a lack of perspective.
>Kofi
Expecting him to EVER go beyond the midcard post-debut was your first mistake. He has talent and charisma, but he's not the type of guy you would put on your product and say "this is the new face of our company." He feels like one of those "I do it cause I love it" guys who is content just to be in the 'E.
>Carlito
He was never going to main event. He was just another guy they fed to Cena in '06

>>2423713
Cody gets King of the Indies treatment and he never got as high on the card as Dolph.

>>2423823
>when the most notable moment of your career is being so not-over that you turn Enzo & Cass from annoying shithead heels to lovable babyfaces

>AAA titles are better than indie games

kek good one young boy

>there is only midcard and face of the company

God, how I wish "The Authority" was never a thing. It's worked the minds of so many impressionable WWE babbies.

>>2423860
He's been relatively healthy post-TNA?

Kill yourself faggot

>>2424188
But he's done very well for himself post-WWE

>>2423944
Yeah but then they had him order terrorist to choke out the undertaker with piano wire.

>>2424188
>>2424207
True, and he's 31. With him leaving TNA, and most of the UK promotions having already been conquered, I'd put good money on him being back by the year end

>>2423627
I recall in /sp/ when everyone was gushing all over Kennedy. I was one of the few people who said he sucked. The guy was not good in the ring, wasn't really good on the mic nor had any real gimmick. All he had was that stupid entrance which got old after a few months.

>>2423960
If Shelton had any personality he could have been champion. Had everything else.

>>2424135
Are you autistic? Sikhs are bro tier.

>>2424173
Dean Ambrose was shit in the indies too and made up being a dumb cunt that took sandpaper to the forehead to get over, but your analogy is incredibly retarded.

>>2423828
You're right. That guy is wrong.

>>2423921
Only a small minority of redditors did. Everyone else realized that he was A) not a good wrestler and B) Not good at coming up with his own ideas

>>2424178

I feel like they would've turned face against anyone DESU, but it didn't help that "The Viewer's Choice" Mason Ryan and his Kit Kat gimmick were stinking up the joint.

It was basically a reverse Ellsworth, dude who's bigger and stronger beats up small dude, and we're supposed to be on the side of the big guy.

>>2424577
AHAHAHAH THEY'RE LITERALLY EGALTIRAIANS AHAHAHA YOU STUPID FUCK YOU FELL FOR THE MEME HAHAHAHA YOU IDIOT HAHAHAHA

>>2423627
He was stiff in the ring and caused Cena in injury

Had no future after that.

>>2423921
I thought after Wrestlemania 31 he was one of the most likeable babyfaces on the roster.
Then they killed him.
This segment right here you can actually watch take a nose dive as Sandow after giving a heartfelt speech about his place in the company goes onto have a FUCKING PARROTING GIMMICK.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbM3ijF6s4c

The worst part is, they eventually ended up as a tag team with Sandow being Macho Mandow and going BACK to what he said he was done doing completely kill all the character development he received and that team only lasted up until Hogan said Nigger! After 31 I wouldn't have minded a tag team with Axel. Although I think it should have been Sandow who told Axel "Hey, I was doing exactly what you're doing now. You don't need to do it." then have Axel sorta agree to "break character" and kill the Axelmania gimmick then put them in the tag division as two guys who had gotten over with the fans as comedy gimmicks but now were actually being themselves. Maybe it wouldn't have worked since "being themselves" isn't a very good gimmick but it'd still be better than that parroting shit.
Also I liked Sandow's remixed theme.

Whatever happened to Chris Masters?

>>2423857
