He's over due to his Joie de vivre.

Everything that has been said about Gable (charisma, in-ring, like Angle) I seen more in Jordan. I think JJ's gonna be a star. No way, Jordan needed to team with Gable way more than Gable needed to team with Jordan. That said they are a great team and have excellent chemistry.

Just once I'd like to see Jordan play face-in-peril and Gable get the hot tag.

Honestly?
He's cute.
Seriously, Chad Gable is ADORABLE. He manages to be 100% believable as a threat because of his slick and flashy wrestling, but in addition to that, he's cute, both in the attractive sense and in the diminutive sense.
That's a rare combination in a male wrestler - cute but believable - and an appealing one.

Though the energy (joie de vivre as someone mentioned) adds to it as well, and we wouldn't care if he couldn't wrestle. So, his stature, enthusiasm and skill. He's like the Steph Curry of NXT.

I like Gable but damn are people underselling and overlooking Jason Jordan. As I keep reminding people, folks loved JoMo way more over Miz when they was a duo and who was the one that became the complete package and world champion?

Well, I'm already sold on this plan. Let's get to work.

Jordan is goddamn suplex machine and the moment he brings it all together is going to be amazing. It's scary how good these two might be.

Regardless, I think they need to stay associated with each other long-term (Ambrose/Reigns style), even if they go singles. They give off Slaybriel levels of OTP-ness.

This is a question that nobody can really answer. Guys get over... because they get over. Sure, there's more to it than that, but there's no guranteed factor that determines why or when it'll happen. Whether a guy is booked horribly or perfectly also does gurantee anything, though the former obviously doesn't help.
Some guys the crowd latches onto and others they don't no matter how much they might have going for them.
But if I were to guess it's because the guy is an outstanding wrestler who easily stands out in NXT.

Dude's a freaking machine, and he's got the size, which is the only thing I could see holding Gable back. Honestly, Jordan's probably a better overall package, but he's a Jack of all Trades, master of none whereas Gable's exceptional in those areas.

He's unique. No one's really doing his schtick, and outside of aping Malenko rollup exchanges, usually poorly, not many roster members do a lot of chain wrestling. It's kind of like how when Tajiri and RVD came into WWF, there weren't a lot of guys doing martial arts-style kicks, mainly just X-Pac, so the environment was right for them, and it's been right for Gable.
That isn't to say he doesn't have other things going for him. He's really quite good, and has a future for sure, but he's got a pretty nice niche, too.

Not fer nuthin, Cole, but that Jordan's a rocketbustah in his own right.

I want to see Gable/Angle at least once in my lifetime, for all the comparisons that are being made between the two.
And for that matter, Jordan versus Lesnar would be insane as well. If they do another Beast in the East/NXT hybrid ppv I hope Jordan gets Kofi's ppv spot.

I don't even like Gable and I like Gable. I love that he can make the best of what makes him special and I think that's something many guys and girls can't do right now.

The guy has potential to be huge. He really feels like he's been around for awhile and seems a natural in front of the camera. I just feel the comparisons to Angle are ridiculous.
Angle had the background like him of course but he was a legit badass who could kick anyones ass and just happened to have a real goofy delusional persona. Early Angle was like this wind up merchant who trolled the fans but had this military look like he could seriously hurt you.
Gable has like the total package but doesn't seem much different than other "great" wrestlers of the past. A guy like Al Snow had everything that he does, but was treated like a joke and was never rated this highly.

Honestly it's the singlet and the way they've booked him as a mat technician with an actual personality. The only other time mat techs have had personality (unlike the cold emotionless Dean Malenko's, Chris Benoit's, Lance Storm's, HBK Without-A-Smile's or SRS Chris Jericho's who were no-nonsense--)was Angle.
He always bragged about his Gold Medals, had pride and backed it up with huge wins. Gable's name is almost the same as Angle's, similar outfit, similar booking, call's everything "sick" and is kinda cool and dorky at the same time-- and most importantly puts on great matches with his partner. Minus the tag-team bit Gable is cementing a new archetype for a face wrestler in the WWE, I much prefer it over the Cena-Superman face.
