Umaga The Jobber

[Dre]

Is Umaga just becoming another glorified jobber? At the start of his WWE run he was being built up really well, then John Cena beat him and since then he's sort of just been going around losing random matches with no real direction.

There was a period when it looked like he was going to get built up again when he did so well in the Elimination Chamber but of course the writers decided to have him beat the next few weeks to end any chance of that.

I then thought WrestleMania was the perfect chance to move him to SmackDown! and feud with Batista (and go over him) but seemingly not in WWE's eyes who would still rather have him job to the Main Eventers of Raw.

It's almost as if the WWE want him to turn into the next Kane, meant to be a terrifying monster but he loses all the time. How terrifying can someone who loses all the time actually be?

I personally think he's a good monster and still has a lot of potential if they built him up for a while again, possibly even move him to ECW and have him destroy guys there, leading to a Kane vs. Umaga feud.

Any ideas on what they can do with him? (Or at least what they should but undoubtedly won't do with him?

move him to SD and push him into the ME instantly. give him a title reign starting at Summer Slam or Survivor Series

No. Hes like CM Punk, they dont have a good feud for him right now... So I guess you could say right now he is being used to put others over, but thats no how is career will be.
I think if he doesnt move at the draft and keeps doing this, you may be right, because then it would show they have no plans for him. But if he moves, or even if he stays, as long as he gets a storyline and feud, that will show they have plans for him. But they couldnt start a feud last week with the draft coming up, Oso I think they are waiting til after the draft to give him a good push.

But one thing I disagree with if you said that he shouldve won over Batista, and in the elimination chamber. But that would be stupid. Batista didnt need to put over Umaga, because Batista is still going strong. Usually old asses and legends put people over, but Batista is still ontop of his game, so of course he would win...

Anyways, I agree with the rest. Hes great in the ring and deserves a push, and can be a main eventer. I think after the draft he will go big.

First he needs a manager again. He could do fine without one but it would be easier for him to climb back up. And man can JR stop calling his pendellum slam(Blackhole Slam) a freakin sidewalk slam. JR should retire.

 

[JC Punk]

I dont want him to be champion ANY time soon so keep him as a jobber imo.

 

[The Rated R CMStar]

WWE is so weird they maybe forbid JR to call that move Blackhole Slam, but I think that is over as last week's Raw I heard JR call it like that.

Again, it is beyond me of why Khali can get a title shot but not Umaga. They both can't speak, but at least one can wrestle

 

[Vandy316]

JR called it the Blackhole Slam? wow, that just tells Vince that he watches the rival. sucks for JR

Khali got a push. Umaga had one before inearly 07 with hus title matches with Cena... He will be pushed to the mian event soon, I think after the draft, but to be fair, both Khali and Umaga got title shots.

JR called it the Blackhole Slam? wow, that just tells Vince that he watches the rival. sucks for JR

Her didnt say that because of TNA, its called that because thats the name of the move. Just like a DDT, or a Dropkick, its the same name no matter what company.

They should send him to SD. Hes useless in raw they just use him to come and job to the wrestler whenever Vince or Regal say "the opponent is umaga"

It's no longer even a surprise opponent. Every time it's someone who they reveal pre-match, it's Umaga.

Take him to SD!, he'd be great. Umaga/Rey would be off the charts. Or even Umaga/Edge

 

[LadyHotrod]

They really did push him but then what the hell happened? It's like he was suddenly extremely useless.

They could give him a push if they'd put him in a good storyline.

When Umaga first started I was really angry at WWE because I thought Umaga sucked, he was undefeated for 9 months straight and then got put into the main event. After Cena beat him he was still a vicious beast, and Umaga has gotten better in this time since debuting back in WWE(originally as Jamal). Umaga is the most skilled big man in WWE right now even more then Kane imo, but when Umaga started going down hill was when they went to Italy and he lost to Santino Marella thanks to Lashley! Since then Umaga's jobbed more and more and now he is being pushed off the PPV card which isnt good at all! its times like this when you need single branded PPV's to get over the mid carders but with all thse good guys on one PPV the mid carders are pushed out like Umaga.

I hope Umaga gets into a nice good fued with on Smackdown if he is drafted there, he could smash a couple of guys and then get into a great fued with Edge or some ECW guy...(would have said taker but hes gone).
