You would have had him where Axel is right now under Heyman?


Yep, I worded it terribly and couldn't be bothered editing it. Riley would have fit well as Heyman's protege, align him with them for a year or 2 before he breaks out against Brock if he's still with the company and boom a new star is born.

Completely agree. I didn't even think about him before, but now I can see how well that would have worked. God dammit.

The annoying thing is how easy it would have been to do, Riley referred to himself as the thoroughbred before I believe and mentioned his families accomplishments as an example of his success previously so do something similar to that and you're off to a winner imo.

I never actually saw this. God dammit I would have been filled with optimism. Nice to know he is still confident though. You can tell he is pretty frustrated too, which is natural.

Saw it then but assumed you already posted it.

Totally agree, but what changed? Why doesn't it fill you with optimism right now?

Don't know how much it means but since then he hasn't been used on TV, right? Remember how Mcgillicutty and Johnny Curtis were just ripped off TV never to be seen before being reintroduced as Curtis Axel and Fandango. Might be a good sign, but who even knows anymore

Calls himself the rare breed I think. But I agree completely, that would have been so good. Instead of the "monster Brock Lesnar" build Heyman gave Brock, he could go on about how successful Riley is etc.

True, but I think you're probably clutching at straws. Hell, I'm happy to clutch at them with you though. I hope that is a good sign, and I don't know when the last time he was buried on RAW was, so maybe there is hope. The biggest hope so far though is that he hasn't been released and has survived the spring cleaning. WWE must know how talented Riley is; far too talented to be where he is right now. I remember thinking how much Riley sort of out shined Miz during his big push.

Riley was the Rare Breed like Crayo said. Roman Reigns called himself the Thoroughbred on NXT.

Definitely clutching, but hell. Clutch away! Remember he was thrown across the room by Kane that one episode where Bo yelled "SOMEONE GET HELP" and somehow still sounded awful lmao. Don't think he's been jobbed out since.

WWE hasn't really released any main-roster talent though, so you can't really use that one :urm:

Both Bateman and Percy Watson were on the main roster page. Pretty sure they count as main roster. And Trent Barretta.

There has been a few. However, Yoshi has still survived, so maybe I was being too optimistic.
