No full timer is anywhere near good enough to justify the Roman push and they would end up just as resented by the fans if they got it. In some alternate universe everyone is complaining about how Big E is about to get his 4th coronation at mania next year.

I feel like you can even see this a little bit with Drew McIntyre in NXT who got to the top very quickly and is now getting a somewhat muted response.

They spent a bunch of time building Roode vs. Hideo and Roode vs. Strong, then just had Drew slide in and win the title. It was very, very strange.

Strongs momentum in NXT really seemed like them happening upon a spark and not capitalizing on it because Strong was not the guy, McIntyre was the guy.

MassRafTer posted:The late 90s had Steve Austin who the entire show was built around, let's not pretend here. So much so that it taught bookers some bad habits regarding overexposing their stars. After his injury it was a bit more even until his retirement but he was still the top guy. Maybe we're in a mid 90s era where the next guy didn't really pan out they just try new things every six months or so until someone catches fire. Fair point, but I feel like with Austin's injuries in the late 1998-2000 timeline, the focus was pushed to a mix of Undertaker, HHH, Kane, Kurt Angle, The Rock and Mick Foley (with dudes like Benoit and Jericho getting little tastes of the main event here and there.) I'd be all for a mid-90's run, which is funny, as the failed Diesel main event push (along with Lex Luger's) are the two which always come to mind when I think of Roman.

Yea, I'm not saying Strong should've had a Balor length run in NXT but I do think his program with Roode worked really well and the crowd was ready for him to take the title off of Roode. I wonder if he'll reach that same height again in NXT, especially since by not pulling the trigger on a guy, you teach the crowd not to get too invested in him, so it'll be harder for him the second time around.

cams posted:i don't think this is true at all. i think the issue is more that there is no one good enough who fits all the extra criteria of being the guy, including age, backstage personality, history, and degree to which their success would be entirely owed to the wwe thus reducing risk of them leaving for a better job. I think I'm getting gaslighted
