Albert and Vis had looks that were made for the pro wrestling business, and aside from the King Mabel run, were never top guys and served a monster mid card heel roll. That is very much a viable roll that has a purpose. Billy Gunn is one half of AT WORST a top 5 most over tag team of all time. |

Lanny Poffo got that ridiculous deal in WCW purely to keep Randy Savage happy.

I can’t believe he’s about to get his second forum mention in like a three week period...but Horace Hogan’s career being a thing at all is all due to Hogan’s politicking. Ed Leslie lasted way longer than he should have for the same reason.
Scott Hall continued on in WCW at a time he was in no condition to compete because Kevin Nash had the book and significant backstage influence.

Funaki due to having those pictures of Vince.
JTG then stole them in 2010. They are now believed to be held by Mojo Rawley.

Randy Orton, WWE even re-designed the wellness system to prevent him from getting fired, supposedly.

Stephanie McMahon as Head Writer. The ratings were in a nosedive as was the quality of the show when she took over. However, her last name was "McMahon" so she kept the position.

Wasn't he doing a lot of backstage stuff right up until his retirement? I heard somewhere that he was in charge of the Royal Rumbles right until he left. |

Nope. Patterson and Stevens were a sucessful drawing act before he was the first IC champ. As an agent he's known as one of the best finish guys in wrestling. He had a career because he was good at this. |

I hate that that rule was obviously just for him, that you can only get a strike removed if you have two. Meanwhile Konnor gets popped for 60 days because his first transgression was 10 years prior during his first stint in the company. Such bullshit. |

Yeah, but what I was getting at was they kept getting chances at singles pushes, seemingly because they were big and nothing else. Which...I guess is kind of what you agreed with (i.e. "having a wrestler look") Maybe not the talent, but the look. |

I hear Sheamus started getting pushed because he was Triple H's workout partner.

It wasn't like Vince looked at Mabel and thought "here's the future of my company!". He probably thought "He's a massive dude who we can use to draw a house for a few months.". So yeah Mabel got a run becuase of size but that's wrestling. |

Jinder Mahal main eventer and wwe champion, despite killing the ratings and the attendance, Vince still thought it was a good idea because of the upcoming India tour, and when the India tour finally happened? Triple H pinned Jinder HAHAHAHA
