He'd be better off staying away from both TNA and WWE. Both of them have their heads up their ass as far as booking is concerned. There is no wrestler who staying away from WWE is a good idea for. Whether they use you right or not, you're making money and are on national tv

Yes! I loved Black Machismo and with comedy like that, I think he'd be a great midcard face in a company almost devoid of new faces.

Deffo. At worst, he'd be a midcarder on Smackdown.

Lethal is much more charismatic and the characters Lethal is able to portray are all more suited for the WWE than Kaval's sole character of intense tough guy. I'm not sure if I want Lethal to go to the E, but I do believe the E should try to get him. Lethal basically is the guy that has all the talent that people claim AJ Styles does. But Kaval's ring style is MUCH more impressive than Lethal's. As for that last sentence, I love Jay Lethal, but he's no AJ Styles. no, I agree Kaval's ring style is much more impressive. I just think Lethal is better suited for the WWE because the WWE concentrates on character much more and in that regard Lethal has Kaval beat, while being no slouch in the ring himself. as for the AJ point, I think as far as charisma and mic skills (both important in sports entertainment) Lethal is quite ahead of Styles. on in ring work I think Lethal is a bit better but they are both really good. so in my view, it comes down the two being about equal on ring-work, but Lethal has the bonus of being a strong character out of the ring. Styles would have to be much better in the ring than Lethal to make up for his short comings in the charisma department.

Whether they use you right or not, you're making money and are on national tv You're only making plenty of money and getting tv time if you're one of the top guys. Otherwise you'll do just as well on the indies or in Japan. Daniel Bryan himself has said this before.

Pretty amazing how TNA buried him after the Flair feud. He should have been the face to knock Jeff Hardy off. It is weird how he was in a high-visibility feud where he got a lot of promo-time to nothing.

I always found him boring. the Black Machismo shit went on way too long and sucked. maybe spend some time in FCW and he could be better.

Yes, but only if Black Machismo is his character.

HELL. YES.
Not because I love Lethal, but because he's a great, high-energy performer who is smooth in the ring. Lethal would fit in WWE perfectly.

He seems like a guy who would adapt well.

Black Machismo + "The Master Of Disaster" Consequences Creed would be killer tag team

Just a guy who made a name for himself in a small-time fed ripping off a WWE gimmick. Honestly, if I had average wrestling ability and could do a decent Ultimate Warrior impression, I'd be a star in TNA.

He was a solid wrestler to back it up as well. Honestly I thought Black Machismo stood on its own as a character after awhile. I REALLY thought the whole deal with Flair would have cemented him at the top.

You wouldn't get Chris Masters, floundering on Superstars, thinking to himself "I know, I'll do an AJ Styles gimmick". TNA are bush league, and have so much wrong with them it's not even funny. 99% of their roster would not get over in WWE. Look at how DBD is struggling - and I love him. Lethal would not be allowed to reprise that gimmick in WWE, and I don't think his wrestling ability is in any way outstanding enough to WWE to bust a gut to sign him.

I'd say go for it. My one concern is that he won't be able to break the glass ceiling like MVP.

I say sign him to a developmental deal and see where he goes from there.
