Still absolutely no clue what this man has going for him past, "Generically handsome white man."

I'm gonna blame all of the Liv fans for this. They wished Liv to win the MITB case and title (and she did), but the monkey's paw curled and we got Theory winning the MITB case.

Theory is a black hole of charisma.
He makes Ricochet look like The Rock.
This is a waste.

I don't understand what they see in Theory, the dude to me is what FAN thinks Tony Nese is, a dude who can't cut a promo to save his life, totally lifeless as hell as a character, and he can wrestle good
Like granted, he can wrestle, but how the f*** is THIS the guy Vince is obsessed with out of the entire roster? It's just stupid. Hopefully he just gets destroyed when he tries to cash in because this is about as heatless of a briefcase winner in a long time.

Corporate hand picked champion Theory vs. the champion no on wanted in Cody at Wrestlemania. Cody getting the mega push coming back then (probably) winning the Rumble only to face...Theory would be such a letdown.

With 1/37th the charisma and talent Sheesh, considering how far off Orton was in terms of finding his charisma at that point (my understanding is he showed he had something in the RNN vignettes, but being the blue-chipper in Evolution didn’t really lend itself to showing that more often), that’s saying something.

Theory has a fine future... but I just don't think he's ready for the World Championship yet we will see though

Somebody backstage has a massive hard on for this guy and I have no idea why.
He's not a BAD wrestler... But out of all the talent they have and HAD, this is the guy they strap the rocket to?
A generic clean cut CAW in shorts?
Come on man.
We are back to the "cookie cutter" days of Orton and Cena. Fans want absolutely none of this shit.

With 1/37th the charisma and talent Sheesh, considering how far off Orton was in terms of finding his charisma at that point (my understanding is he showed he had something in the RNN vignettes, but being the blue-chipper in Evolution didn’t really lend itself to showing that more often), that’s saying something. Think Orton showed definite sparks as the Legend Killer, and I could certainly see at the time why they pulled the trigger on him when they did because he was on fire in early 2004, but they completely bungled his face turn by doing it super abruptly, having not established any character traits about him that were actually likable (which also looks likely to happen with Theory), and immediately undercutting him by having him get cut down by Triple H immediately. It might have gone a lot better had he stayed heel and taken over Evolution with Triple H the one turning since he definitely had momentum as a heel at the time. Though with the benefit of hindsight it probably wouldn't have worked out anyway. Orton still felt super out of place in the main-event scene after that even when he did turn heel again until he started punting people and leaned into having more bloodlust in his character.
