Dude got a good showcase tonight despite eating the pin fall. His deadlift germans are good spots and each showing he’s getting better. The best thing that could have happened to him was the fact he didn’t get chosen for the Kurt angle son gimmick

He had some cool spots at the end but him and Shelton don’t have much in the way of personality or chemistry

He's very pre yes/no Bryan imo. Great in the ring and is a perfect dork heel.

Benjamin might need to hit the bricks again. He's been lackluster since he joined. Even when dude was trying to do Gable's comedy he sounded washed.
How are you going to put a new hot young upstart like Uzi Vert on a track with Tony Yayo lol?

He forever got it for Pimpin tho I will say that But yeah Shelton is a lame duck at this point. Gable was having some really good singles matches with Rusev before they tagged him back with Shelton. Why they couldn't just keep Jordan/Gable together and have Kurt/Shelton be their mentor i'll never know |

Having Angle and Benjamin mentor AA would have been the best possible option but you know the WWE. It's sad to see what's happened to Jordan since then. Gable too but in Gable's case I think he'll flourish. |

I just really want a singles run for Gable please. Like Shelton can do whatever else but Gable to go for a nothing tag team with him.

The best thing that could have happened to him was the fact he didn’t get chosen for the Kurt angle son gimmick Honestly, I think Gable could have made the 'Kurt's son' thing work, because he's got that same natural goofy likeability to him that Kurt has/had. Between Gable and Jordan, Gable is a better talker and has more personality, they're pretty equal as far as in-ring talent goes, but the only real advantage Jordan has is being taller, which was probably the deciding factor when Vince came up with the idea. |

The best thing that could have happened to him was the fact he didn’t get chosen for the Kurt angle son gimmick I actually think Gable being the choice as Kurt's son would have went over like crazy. I've always maintained they picked the wrong guy. Gable is the reason that Jordan got out of developmental hell. Gable made Jason interesting, and gave him a character. Gable has so much charisma he can pass it on to others. I guarantee you the Angle storyline would be much more successful if Chad Gable had been chosen instead of the taller handsome one. Gable has that same dorky charm/charisma Angle has, and to me wrestles a more Angle-esque amateur style. You take any of the promos Jason Jordan's had to give, and imagine Chad Gable giving them. The dude gets comedic timing, and being aloof, absurd, but still likeable. Jason Jordan can throw people far. and a lot. A whole. whole. lot. Back on topic though, those chaos theory suplexes were a thing of beauty. |

Well, Jordan does also have the advantage that he actually looks like Angle. They have very similar facial structure. That said I feel like though Gable would probably do better with it, it's a stupid idea that was never going to help anyone no matter how they played it or who it was. |

Gable is ok but no point them trying to do American Alpha 2 it's like Jim Neidhart/Owen Hart as the New Foundation. The potential is there for both singles but the piss poor remake is not doing anyone any favors. Shelton needs to get out of the tag division. It's not 2003. Stick him on RAW and in the IC division. I think he's just phoning it in as he's in a tag team that's inevitably going to break up.

Benjamin is a little underatted as a heel, I enjoyed his ECW cocky veteran work. I imagine he'll get annoyed with Gable soon and turn on him leading to a decent few matches and Gable will be a sympathetic face who can't hold onto a tag partner. He can best Shelton and head into the US title scene as for Shelton a trip to Raw after the draft to freshen him up (although I wouldn't be surprised to see him teaming with a heel Jordan).

Good lil worker. Though, what's with the Shelty hate in this thread? I think he has been pretty solid so far, and bet he busts some shit out once him and Gable get a real match with The Usos or New Day.
