I think Mantaur could have done better. I liked the bull mask and attire. It reminded me of Vader in Japan with the smoking helmet. How dare you compare that flea-infested bull head to Vader's legendary smoking helmet.

If continual employment with WWE meant be there, be awful as a athlete and have no entertainment value/talent to make up for little in ring talent, than Albert should be employed for life. But if being with WWE is based on ring talent or being able to get over on the mic than Albert should have never been employed so long. When he came back as Tensai, I just saw it as horrible Albert, the same guy who was horrible several years earlier. I would put almost any of the names listed here as more talented, entertaining and deserving of long term employment than Albert. The length of Albert's employment was always baffling to me too. Ever since he debuted I thought he absolutely sucked and I was extra pissed when he won the Intercontinental title. He was gone from WWE for so many years before coming back in 2012 I thought there was no way I would ever have to see him again. And then I did. Come to find out he's very close friends with Undertaker so that explains it.

What the f*** is wrong with Dixie? How long you got? Haha! That was my first thought. Where do we even start with that question?

He pitched the Hall of Pain gimmick which went to Mark Henry. Which was probably the best choice anyway. Henry has a scary factor and it doesn't sound corny when he says he will induct you into his hall of pain From Brodus, idk how that was going to work I think if we had never seen Broadus as Flash Funk 2.0 it could have worked. I took a picture with Brodus during SummerSlam Axxess in 2013. I am not a small person, I am bigger than a lot of the wrestlers that I have met and taken pictures standing next to. Broadus DWARFED me. He's one of those guys that TV doesn't give justice to his size. On top of that he's somewhat athletic being able to do crossbodies and stuff like that. I know Broadus has went on to make a fool of himself several times since but I think WWE might have had something with Broadus before they turned him into a dancing buffoon.

Solomon Crowe as hacker in nxt. They did some cool things cutting into programming and making these cool edgy videos with him hanging out in sketch areas backstage. Then he hit the ring with troll hair and a fat woman's bathing suit. Injuries killed him more than anything thumbs.gfycat.com/PalatableNiftyAntlion-mobile.mp4Uh, yeah...injuries.

I think Sami even admits by the time they decided to use him on tv for NXT he just didnt care anymore and just spent most of his time chilling on the beach. Notice how he got back into great shape once released by WWE.

Bastion Booger. He lost his debut match... to Virgil. I mean, he wasn't meant to be anything other than undercard heel fodder to begin with, so I have a hard time seeing how this "ruined" him. I can see thinking that it was a waste of Mike Shaw's talents, but they had his spot in mind before he ever debuted the gimmick.

I just find it hilarious that they debuted a gimmick and jobbed him to a JTTS. That might have been a first and only time. I think even the TL Hopper's and Freddie Joe Floyd's of the world at least won their debut match.

Notice how he got back into great shape once released by WWE. I like Sami but idk if he got in shape after WWE. He just started wearing a vest and pants to cover up that he's still not in shape.
