Was catching up with the last couple of weeks and came to the below depressing conclusions:
Adrian Neville - Too short, too ugly, accent too thick. Flippety floppety moveset will see him as the Geordie Kofi
Tyler Breeze - Wayy too skinny. Rick Martel had same gimmick but actually looked like a wrestler. Nobody will want to job to him.
Hideo Itami - Ceiling for tiny Japanese wrestlers in WWE is quite low (Hakushi had face tattoos and Tajiri had the mist). Plus he's already 33.
Enzo & Big Cass - That talking entrance will not translate well to a large arena. They need vignettes to get over and won't get the airtime.
Sami Zayn - Not with the gimmick he's got now. Incredibly bland, generic face - inexplicably wears a flat cap and knit sweater. Even if he does get over the IWC will turn on him.
And those who will definitely get over:
Bull Dempsey, Baron Corbin, Mojo Rawley, Charlotte
Unless anyone disagrees?

For a serious answer I have a feeling Tyler Breeze will become Fandango 2.0 all over again. A strong start, some acclaim, then he gets buried badly and isn't seen again.

"That talking entrance will not translate well to a large arena." You do know of the New Age Outlaws, right?
As for who'll tank, it's all a matter of booking, Give me a reason to care about them. If Adrian Neville is put in a prominent role and not jobbed out all the time like Kofi is, then they'll see him as above Kofi.
Also, I don't think talent has the call on who they lose too, at least not like they did in the old eras. I would say only the top 10 get that luxury.

Tyler Breeze and Fandango as a tag team to establish Breeze/re-do Fandango seems such an obvious move to me.

William Regal - He just won't do what WWE want.
He kept calling the names of moves and explaining their effects on commentary so they tried him in the ring but he uses an outdated style that's too stiff, technical and unsuited to a short Raw match. Even if he adapts Riley would say only wins matter and Regal usually loses.
I think he's on his last chance as the GM (especially as he looks about 35) but even there he stumbles over his words, books the main event in advance, fails to mention the WWE Network and doesn't give himself 20 minute promos and/or six segments a show.
Finally he's too un-PC, not only does he use sexist terms like "old slapper" but WWE don't want politically correct groups learning that he keeps his conjoined twins in the attic as it will result in bad PR.

I feel like Neville and Breeze will both struggle.

Taking the topic seriously...
If I'm being honest with myself, I don't see Adrian Neville getting further than the upper midcard. Kofi/JoMo level.
I'm resigned to Bayley getting royally screwed over on the main roster. It seems almost inevitable. At least her NXT run has been almost perfect..she just needs the big title win.
Enzo and Big Cass need to come in as heels, let them do their stuff, get over, then turn them face. If they come in face, with Cole laughing and talking of how hilarious they are, they're gonna flop.

My fear is that HHH with all these signings, sees the mid-card in WWE is struggling and has essentially filled NXT with guys they see as mid-card/support acts at best. How many people in NXT do you see being legit main eventers without a Bryan "Yes Movement" happening?
Not many, despite how ultra talented they all are - they are pure mid-card guys in WWE's eyes.

I've got a good feeling that 90% of this board is gonna sour on the Vaudevillians within 3 weeks of their main roster debut.

Everyone good will fail. Everyone shit will succeed? Corbin has a great presence and silent charisma to him and he will only continue to improve. Charlotte is a great wrestler and is going to give the Diva's division some additional life when she eventually gets called up. Mojo and Dempsey? Eh...you got me there. I honestly don't even think they'll make it past NXT and will be cut during the next cleaning period. |

The gimmick and the performance are fine, but I have a feeling that creative will have no clue what to do with Tyler Breeze on the main roster.
