That’s absolutely fine with me, he’s a star in the making. Just hope they don’t hotshot him to a world championship too soon. A mid card championship run is fine for now.

This is a problem in itself. He has no identity of his own. People are already comparing him to Cena, Orton and now Angle. Every wrestlers goal should be to be compared to nobody. Because they're the first one to do it. It sounds harsh and I know the writing is bad but a lot of these performers just don't have the creativity to be their own character. How many of them wear superhero attires? You are supposed to be your OWN character. Why are you dressing up like Marvel? Every single wrestler on the roster for so long have been compared to someone else. There isn't one character on this roster that isn't and we can even go further back to the OVW days when Cena, Orton, Lesnar and Batista were being compared to people. That's just how it is. Even The Rockers were compared to others.
This isn't new.
Like, come on, Hogan stole most of his gimmick (somewhat) from Superstar Billy Graham who in turn stole some of his gimmick from Gorgeous George. Being annoyed that he gets comparisons is odd as heck.

Finn Balor had maybe one of the worst midcard belt reigns of any company ever
Won, immediately got beat down, beat down again, took every pinfall he absolutely could, then lost to Theory for the belt clean
My brother in christ, get the f*** out of this company.

I really have no idea what the appeal of this dude is. Kind of just seems like the epitome of, "Mediocre generically handsome guy."

He has a great look, and a lot of charisma can cut a decent promo, and can go in the ring. He literally has it all except his character isn't that great but at 24, I see why they're putting a lot of stock into him.

I feel the same way about Yuta in AEW but I understand that he has his following and that both companies are looking at these guys as future stars well out of their current incarnations...I don't really get either but both are well trained and have YEARS ahead of them.

Yeah, I'm with you on that one. Maybe it's just since I haven't watched his big matches past couple of weeks but of everything I've seen of him prior I have no idea why I'm supposed to care about Yuta.

He certainly has a bright future I just don't see that IT factor or charisma outside of him being a hell of a wrestler. For example, Nagata is a hell of a wrestler but that's it and that is what separates him from Nakamura if that makes any sense. Both are absolutely great I just prefer the pomp and circumstance and I think Theory has a better shot at being that more rounded future star. Right now? I would untag myself from his selfies haha

Like, yeah, that's pretty much why you'd feel that way We had a lot of people feeling that way in the AEW Board about Yuta until the last couple of weeks, where they've pushed him and a lot of people have bought in to his performances. Yuta from a few weeks ago and Yuta now feel like two completely different people. Theory could get to that point... but WWE Booking seems to think he's ALREADY there...

Guaranteed. He's young, got a good look, can talk, can wrestle, Vince loves him, in multiple segments a night, beating up legends like Jeff Hardy, again Vince loves him enough to put him in a segment with him. He's got it. I've said it before and I'll say it again, this kid's the future. He's definitely a future WWE Champion.

I know WWE gets a hair up their ass about some random buns dude every couple years or so but this dude gotta be up there in terms of being terrible. Literally a CAW when you haven’t unlocked any moves or gear yet.
