Enzo and Cass as an act were ready. Their in ring work really isn't but I'm not entirely sure either of them is ever going to get much better and I think they realized that too.

With Crews, I could totally see that being a thing were HHH thought he wasn't ready yet but Vince wanted him up.

Crews is good at having matches where he does long strings of fun offense but he never gets to do that. They started him off with job matches where the jobbers were strangely competitive.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Well, he's short, so no-one would buy him taking 98% of a match against James Ellsworth, you see.

Sports have proven that no one under 6'2 can beat anyone above 6'2. It's just physics.

Hearing Apollo talk about himself on Talking Smack was really good and did more for him than anything Creative has, and it's a shame that won't ever be translated to Smackdown proper.

Peyton Royce and Billy Kay would be the most over heels in the WWE if NXT actually had faces that the crowd cared about. Putting Nikki Cross through a table was an awesome spot but Nikki is a heel in a stable of monsters. Asuka is an invincible face so there is nothing villainous about beating her. Liv Morgan is too much of a jobber and I don't buy a cute jersey girl being bullied and Ember is like Asuka light. They need a Bailey to play off. They would be better off on Raw.

Correct, the only exception is if the shorter man (still above 6'2) has a cool look, then they win.

The brand split is 100% to blame for the callups. Simultaneously NXT got gutted and a bunch of potentials got called up too early (although on the bright side, if the brand split didn't happen Alexa Bliss mighta been in NXT for like 5 more years cause the show would still be on Charlotte-only mode). Enzo and Cass needed more time in ring but lets not act like there wasn't a post in these threads every day from Royal Rumble til April last year asking "WHERE'S ENZO AND CASS?"

Is Jarrett that hostile to the gimmick? I figured if Anthem wanted TNA/Impact to tour, the Hardys are almost a necessity and they're useful for building bridges with stuff like World of Sport due to name value.

His problem isn't his character his problem is that he has none.

Like I've literally never seen anything that suggests to me he has one and whenever I ask people for examples from his indy stuff the response is "he does flips!"

He was Akira Tozawa's gaijin best friend in the Monster Express stable in Dragon Gate, who were the greatest friends who ever were. More or less his character was "I'm a smiley happy nice guy until you gently caress with my friends and then I go sickhouse on you."

And when he was in Blood Warriors/Mad Blankey he was that plus monster gaijin heel as well.

this dolph feud should've been preceded by trying to make crews and kalisto a tag team full of flips and wet stunts, and then dolph injures kalisto during the heel turn, boom, a good feud. instead, it's empty as hell and just dolph wolloping dorks with a chair for pops.

TNA wants them back. But there is a rumor that WWE is going to sign them and have them come back at Wrestlemania to possibly confront the New Day.

Was the Team Rocket version of Dolph actually good or was he just benefiting from the presence of AJ and Big E?

Little of both. He's been doing the same schtick for like a decade now and it's gotten really stale because he never changes it up.

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

Dolph had two good moments during that run: cashing in on Delberto and then getting his head kicked right the gently caress in in their match.
