Vince done pushing Humberto Carrillo

[Deleted]

Cruiserweight star Humberto Carrillo was supposed to face AJ Styles for the United States Championship on this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw. However, while making his way to ring, Carrillo was attacked from behind by O.C. members Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows.

Following the attack, the man formerly known as Ultimo Ninja was unable to compete. Creating the opportunity for his friend Rey Mysterio to capture the Championship.

Up to this point, Carrillo has been enjoying a push within WWE. Since facing Seth Rollins on the October 21st episode of Monday Night Raw, he has been embroiled in a rivalry with Styles – ultimately gaining exposure through his association with The Phenomenal One.

However, this push has now ended according to Dave Meltzer. Speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Meltzer said: “Vince is done with Humberto Carrillo for the time being. He’s giving him the ‘Cedric Alexander.’ Like you’re still gonna see him on TV. I’m sure he’s gonna win here and there, but like it’s exactly like Cedric Alexander. He got a few weeks, Vince thought he wasn’t getting over, so he’s just…he’s done.”

It's the old thing of not having the dude win much and then wondering why he's not over.

Like it's all well and good having good matches and showing yourself off well but if you're not winning, why should anyone care?

This was literally said by Bryan Alvarez during Wrestling Observer Live with Mike Sempervive.



Here is the video posted by the F4WOnline youtube page SHOWING Bryan say this.

I blame the lack of characters.

You have Ali and Ricochet doing the whole “Look how much crazy floppy shit I can do!” gimmick.

Humberto needs something to set himself apart. Same with Alexander for that matter.

There’s no difference in any of these guys and their personalities or looks.

The guy was called “Ultimo Ninja”... just give him a Ninja gimmick. At least it’s something different.

They should have had Humberto turn on the SP and join The OC at some point.

[Pushed to the Moon]

So I guess the "groomed to be the next big hispanic star" thing Meltz and Co. say about every Mexican WWE sign wasn't true after all.

What's the fastest that Vince has ever got bored of someone after putting them on TV for a few weeks?

so much this, im sick of the gymnastic/cirque de solel tribute acts of most of wwe/aew, there's a lack of personalities which encourage me/fans to see the show's...most of them are interchangeable flippy wrestlers who have little/no personality...Theres barely anyone im driven to see any more like over the last 20 years you had austin/rock/flair/hogan/hhh/Goldberg/Jericho/Eddie/Cena/Foley/Taker etc and who could get you invested in a match or look forward to the big match at the ppv.

AJ is the killer for these young dudes man. By that I mean no I'm not saying it's his fault. I'm saying that if they lose an AJ feud, no if they're made out to be a joke, that's the Vince stamp for "hey we're not pushing him anymore."

Shit, that's like that Dean Ambrose spot. If a guy was made out to be a joke by Ambrose then that's usually a sign that hey, you're gonna be depushed for a lil bit.

I'm guessing next time we'll see Humberto will be on WWE Main event (the show) or on either Raw or Smackdown complete with the Joe McHugh memorial "Already in the Ring" entrance

[I'm Team Bayley and Indi]

Vince: Kevin, I've just seen the most heroic dog on television. He pulled a toddler from the path of a speeding car, then pushed a criminal in front of it. Find this dog. I want to make him my executive vice president.

Kevin: Uh, yes sir. In the meantime, here's Humberto Carrillo (vince stares blankly at Humberto)... the Luchador?

Vince: What? Oh, yes, that fellow. Mmmm, put him somewhere out of the way, and find that dog!

[Lance Uppercut]

He can go trade stories with Cedric, Ali, and Buddy

This guy has had PPV matches, and yet the only thing I actually know about him is that his shirt said "Dale Gas" on it. I think that pretty much sums up his booking so far.

[This Player Hating Mothman]

It's like Vince doesn't understand how to get people over anymore. If the 'push someone by having them lose to AJ repeatedly' isn't getting people over, maybe it's not the fault of the people you keep having spin their wheels through the same bullshit over and over.

[Deleted]

I don't think this guy is really any good, but they could've at least tried giving him Aiden as a manager.

[häšhtå.gdālėÿ]

Carrillo is a good wrestler. Really good. But so is nearly everyone else. He doesn’t stand out in the slightest in any other way, and his music makes CEDRIC ALEXANDER’S sound like a banger of a theme. Probably for the best, IMO.

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

Wow, you give a guy with no real personality a toothless push where he still loses the matches that actually matter and then pull the rug out from them when they, predictably, don’t get over.

Welcome to the story of WWE for about two decades now

You could honestly build a whole roster of people this has happened to, it’s kind of ridiculous.

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

Between guys like Cedric, Aleister, Buddy, Cedric, Apollo, and now Humberto, what the hell is the point of investing in these new guys if WWE's only gonna do the same thing every time? Not develop them, and leave them in limbo

Again, they wonder why people are asking for their releases?

[Totorob101]

Vince gets bored of talent then stops them trying to leave, its like he wants to sabotage talented wrestlers careers for the fun of it.

[Slingshot Suplay]

Wwe -hired 1000 wrestlers, can't make a star...

...And don't get me started on Hispanic stars, they think they made Rey and Eddie Guerrero.
