It seems fitting to compare the two, because it's essentially the same irritating novelty gimmick. But Adam Rose had a pretty memorable run in WWE, for a while at least; super over at first, in pretty high profile feuds and storylines, featured heavily in backstage segments (who can forget that drinks ad he did with Santino, where he looked humiliated and miserable?) and then, well... the Bunny.
True, No Way Jose hasn't been there as long, but his crowd reaction was barely noticeable and even he looked bored on Monday. He's been used primarily as squash fodder for the likes of Baron Corbin since his debut. Things might turn around, there could be some push coming from somewhere, but I get the feeling this is Jose's lot in WWE.
So is it too soon to say that Adam Rose > No Way Jose?

I think he already has a worse run than Rose from here. Rose was over for a good long while. I was at a Raw taping in London once and he was the second most over guy of the night behind Barrett, and a totally absent Daniel Bryan.

No Way Jose is a victim of WWE's massive problem this year of calling people up with no plan at all.
Jose gets called up, and quickly gets his ass kicked and is treated like nothing. Authors of Pain get called up, and immediately find their way to a milk carton. Billie and Peyton get called up, attack Charlotte, and then do a whole lot of nothing.
Ember's been the only one that's done anything. Too soon to tell for Andrade.

Drop the conga line. It just makes people think of Adam Rose. Bust it out at special events.
Have him sucker punch jobbers for a few weeks.
There, fixed.
He is a SOLID lower midcard act with a shocking intensity when he gets fired up. You just have to use him right.

No Way Jose is a curious guy to do the gimmick they are doing with him. He seems like a pretty big dude, might have some ability. Why the comedy conga line gimmick? I mean I get it with Adam Rose, a guy that had no particular size or talent. Any sort of gimmick was better than him being a total jobber. I recall some sort of behind the scenes footage with Scott Hall giving Jose some pointers and Hall wished he would act like more of a bad ass.

He should get someone popular to dance with him and then blindside him, come out the next week all serious in a suit, and tell the fans he doesn’t need them. He should also be more aggressive.

He really, really needed vignettes. Adam Rose HAD vignettes, and it made very little difference in the end because they never followed through with an extended push. |

Depends on whether Littlekuriboh can make a meme out of repeating his name or not.

They’re on the house show loop, which is more than what The Authors Of Pain are doing right now. Has to be an injury issue or maybe a visa thing with Rezar (he’s Dutch-Albanian). |

At least Jose is solid in the ring, so there's at least a chance of him finding success. I thought Adam Rose was complete trash in the ring. I remember a few matches he had with Sami Zayn in NXT that were pure buttcheeks.

NXT's tag division is weak as shit since they were called up. The fact that TM61 are now a top team is dreadful. |

NXT's tag division is weak as shit since they were called up. The fact that TM61 are now a top team is dreadful. Because there isn't anything for them to really do in NXT, as they've both feuded with Undisputed Era and each other and are above the rest of the heap. SAnitY and AOP moving up has opened up the top contenders slots for the likes of Lorcan & Burch and probably War Raiders after Chicago. The fact that Raw and Smackdown hasn't figured out how to keep them on TV in spite of not being ready to have them challenge for the titles yet is on thr main roster booking teams. |
