Make random members of the roster look bad so you can make Braun look bad when he loses to Reigns, which will make Reigns look bad (because he's Reigns)? Sounds like the WWE, thinking ahead like always! In theory, building up a monster by having him destroy randoms on his way to the main target works; it has in the past. As you say, though, the current environment surrounding where fans stand with each as opposed to where the company wants them to stand is more than a bit rocky. I see absolutely huge things for Braun if they play things right. I may never see him as The Guy or reaching a UT level legacy, but if they play their cards right, he could be a modern day one-man Road Warriors. I'm talking the '83-'86 years. He can absolutely be that kind of lightning-in-a-bottle phenomenon. They're going to skunk it, aren't they? Damn...that's an interesting comparison. I remember the Warriors on the tail end of that time (that was right when I was first getting into wrestling) and they were intimidating as all hell. I can totally see that from Braun if they (creative, Vince, whoever) don't cock it up.

I might not be representative; it always just annoys me, because it seems unfair for the guys whose job it is to get smashed. Guys like the Headbangers and Scorpio were the ones I LIKED; I didn't want them demolished by Kane. But I'm having a hard time thinking of a Dominant Monster booking that's actually worked in the past couple of decades. Oh, they'll happily sacrifice lower card guys to the project, but making it actually work long-term? I'm not sure weekly TV is a great vessel for this, because either it's the same thing over and over, and people get bored, or the dude's gotta lose, and the mystique is gone.

I remember around this time last year where, even if he was never gonna' main event, it at least seemed like Kalisto had a future as a solid midcarder. Guess it wasn't meant to be.

If they job him out again to "No Upper Body Strength" Ro-Man, I don't see how we're supposed to buy him as a threat to Brock "Final Boss" Lesnar.

Ugh. Flatten him in the ring after a match where he at least tried to fight back by all means, or as part of an angle between the two players but having hosses do this to smaller full time talent benefits no-one. People would be losing their minds now if he did this to Sami Zayn, but it goes to show with a section of the fanbase, you're only one awkward promo away from losing all credibility and becoming a comedy jobber in their eyes, no matter how talented you are.

Even Big E buried Kalisto on social media after that promo.

First his career was in the trash and now he's literally in the trash

I hope next week he appears with stains on his clothes, a banana peel stuck to his mask and used toilet paper wrapped around his boot.

Who was the guy that Kalisto pissed off so much? He really had a big fall of grace, from being an excting masked guy who did amazing moves to that little guy who tries to do good lucha things

It reminds me of the time that Big Show pinned Essa Rios on the wall rather than the floor in a hardcore match
at :45 if you don't want to wait

Not a coincidence they used a Mexican talent.

I think any chance Kalisto had of revitalizing himself on the new brand just went up in smoke tonight. Braun may as well have slapped an NXT sticker on the side of that dumpster. Eh...every Rey Mysterio has their lawn dart incident to get passed. It's more a combination of events. Between this and the Baron Corbin erotic segments and his run on Smackdown last year, it seems like they don't think much of the guy. I'm not positive they should. I'd say give him a few big matches on 205 Live and see how he does.
