I'll start with the easy one
>Both carried the company on their shoulders in the mid to late 2000s
>Both older now and getting passed up by the younger guys
>Both have godlike healing powers

dang he looked pretty cool back then desu
>Both got mega pushes rejected by the fans
Granted, that's where it ends. If Roman had turned heel after WM31 and went babyface a few years later, he'd probably be mega over like Naito now.
Ishii & Cesaro
>Both absolute workhorses
>Always recognised as fantastic
>Never actually get any real recognition.
>Forever stuck in the midcard

Roman doesn't have the charisma or talent.
Naito didn't get rejected by the fans 'cause he wasn't good enough.
>>2910478
His matches are great. He has charisma. The lines they write for him fucking suck. And his position in story is too weird to be believable.

Found the redditor

>Naito
>not picking Cien Almas
holy shit
Randy and Nakamura
>Both are lazy
>Both played second fiddle to the face of the company
>>2910550
Nakamura can actually promo tho
>>2910528
Cien Almas is on the bottom of the food chain, the guy is in developmental and not even in the main event there.

Tanahashi tripled house show attendance. Cena oversaw a gradual decline, though it would have been worse if he wasn't there

>though it would have been worse if he wasn't there
Would it though? Couldn't the decline have been nullified or even reversed if Vince instead invested in somebody else?
>>2910682
It literally would have been so much better if they gave ANYONE else Cena's push.

>Cien coming in as a popular babyface that beat a crowd favorite in vanilla ten making the entire crowd hate him from the get-go
They just started letting him do the LOS gimmick again, he'll be in a title picture by the end of the year.
