why the fuck did he win the Andre the giant battle royal?

>>3112416
because he had a moderately famous football friend

so some footballetty could have a wrestlemania moment and get the E on ESPN

>>3112416
Gronk = ESPN coverage

>>3112416
Hype.

>>3112416
So Gronk could be on the PPV and boost exposure.

They should have had Jinder win it

If we're being honest, Zach Ryder's return killed his momentum.

He was getting a small singles push till that walking hemroid showed back up. It looked like it was leading to a cool ass feud too, which would have helped both of them, but no.

The problem wasn't Ryder's return it's how they handled it with them not even getting a title shot but a shot and number one contenders then mojo dumping Zack in that battle Royal but then nothing.

True

The what now?

>>3114930
You mean WWE started to do something with him and then just abruptly stopped and nothing ever materialized from it? No way.

>>3112416
exposure

WWE has done nothing with every Andre the giant battle royal winner. They paired Cesaro with that hack Heyman who would cut promos on Lesnar who wasn't there and had him lose a US title feud to Sheamus. Big Show won and then was fed to Reigns the next PPV and Corbin had that feud with Ziggler that felt like it went on for an eternity.

More like one of the greatest minds in wrestling history.
