Who are the The Top Superstars who have been booked horribly for the last 1, 2, or 3 years ? Why and/or How?

[Deadmanforever97]

Recently I have seen in a previous thread I have made about Finn Balor and looking back on the comments and seeing opinion vids I am starting to see there point. I will post a thread about that weeks later

In this thread I would like to see who you guys think have been booked horribly for the last 2 or 3 years? Why and/or how ?

Shinsuke Nakamura and Asuka because Vince hates Asians, and because they were a big deal in Japan so Vince has to crush them because he thinks WWE is the only wrestling promotion ever to exist. As WWE is the high standard of Wrestling and every other company fails in comparison.

Bray Wyatt is on everyone's list.

If course Balor, Asuka and Nakamura have been pushed but then dropped countless of times on the main roster. Samoa Joe is similar to those guys, but he's so good that he can't get buried.

Dean Ambrose is the biggest one for me. The fact he had one of the worse heel runs ever and is now leaving because of it says it all really.

The Revival have been booked badly. But then again maybe that's deserved. All they do is fucking moan and have no character.

In terms of character... Every woman's wrestler in the main roster has been treated badly.

I can't tell a top three, but I will say a few who could have been better booked.

Finn Balor: He's capable of putting on good matches, but after he got injured things have been downhill. If they let him just have a silent aura to him, not needing to talk unless he has to, and avoiding booking him like every cheesy babyface ever, things would be a bit better. The Demon thing is potentially a marketing goldmine but on the main roster, it has been strange. They tried to give him a mythical presence but instead has made it hokey (see his storyline with Bray). In NXT it was perfect because it wasn't over explained. It was what you made it to be. It could be just a special thing he does for big matches to make it special. It could be an alter ego like Jekyll and Hyde, or something he did as an intimidation tactic... But in making it more mythical, they removed some mystery of it.

Bray Wyatt: They made him Undertaker 2.0 except he loses. The original premise for the character was great, but over time he has been hurt so much. He's lost and gained cults so much is he an effective cult leader?!

Shinsuke and Asuka: Both won titles and Rumbles, but WWE never pulled the trigger on them to be effective top champions that they can be.

Also Dean Ambrose, Barron Corbin for being overbooked, also we'll throw in most the NXT Call ups from this year.

Yeah Balor should just be a silent guy. A lister Black is a boring bastard but at least he has mystic and not cut corny promos.

Here are my main 3

1. Finn Balor: Every since his return from his injury he has been nothing but a Mid-carder.

Some would go as far as use the term Vanilla Midget, but I'm not going to go that far

If he's your first Universal Champion then treat him like it!

They are just using him as a Card Filler and nothing else.

Demon Balor still got some cool points with me, but he's beginning to lose his edge

2. Bobby Lashley: Every since he faced Roman Reigns last year people have been expecting Main Event feuds with Rollins, Strowman, and Lesnar

But instead they have him bend over and show his ass to the crowd.

3. Strowman: Every since turning him heel and have him for a cheap low budget stable with Ziggler and McIntyre, he hasn't been booked as the same Juggernaut.

losing his Money In The Bank shot it hasn't been made it better.

This man was so over people thought he was going to be the next Andre The Giant

But Vince Mchasshole had to ruin it all.

This guy was the one who I wanted to Main Event Mania this year (But Rollins is ok)

It's Horse Sh*t how he's been used

Like, forgive me for sounding smarky, but the dynamic when he was the leader of Bullet Club was that Karl Andersen was the mouth of the group and Balor/Devitt was the cool leader and star. It not just worked but thrived. Prince Devitt was a Jr Heavyweight Champ who hung with Heavyweights and was a main eventer. Then when he did speak up, he was savage, not saying "You will believe!" but verbally owning the crowd and his opponents. He was not afraid to mock people and he had an edge when he spoke and if they needed someone else to speak up for him, Karl picked up the slack.



Like this was a short but great promo. Devitt using a choppy tone to mock the reporter, and just being a dick, it was entertaining.

The fact they did not pair Andersen and Gallows with him right away was a crime. AJ Styles really didn't need them and aside from them making his WWE title feud with Roman a semi-faction war, AJ was a bigger star without them. But whether it be anti-authority faces or heels like they were in the Bullet Club, the three of them together with the support being it creatively could have been gold. That was one big thing which sadly they didn't capitalize on.

Now Balor is an lgbt singing, smiling 37 year old weirdo

In the last 3 years? ...Wade Barrett, Bray Wyatt, Ryback.

There are some more that needs to be thrown out there so I fixed the Title.

My boy Seth once said a valid point on Finn Balor in a previous Thread. He feels that "after WM he's just going to be floating around the midcard scene"

And I feel that there's a 99% chance of that happening.

The other 1% is most likely being in a low budget rivalry.

But this doesn't just applies to Balor this goes for a lot of people floating around with no booking what so ever.

Apollo Crews
Elias
Rhyno
Matt Hardy
Jeff Hardy
And more

Hell even Strowman had this experience a little.

Back in the day everyone had a certain degree of Booking and/or Storylines

Nowadays due to Lesnar's Reign only ones who Looks like a threat or have some kind of Reputation gets the proper treatment of being booked

 

[Crash]

I know where you guys come from about all guys like Apollo, Hardy or Finn. But those guys are still being used at least. When I think "booked horribly" I think of people who are barely on TV or PPV and might get release.

Those guys are not being booked at all. So can't be booked poorly

They are, just not at every single show. But they are still booked.

Bayley homegirl goes from ending Charlotte's ppv streak and beating her at Wrestlemania to a one sided feud against Bliss where she basically mocked Bayley for being a wrestling fan
