When he’s one of the most boring people on the roster?

I would post the Simpsons “that’s the joke” gif, because it WAS the joke originally.
But, honestly, DG has become one of the most consistently entertaining guys on the entire roster, and I’ve been really digging his deadpan humor lately, so I honestly don’t even agree that he’s boring anymore.

It's literally his main personality trait now. He's a serious MMA guy wrestler who WANTS to be a charismatic goofball and it's obviously a bad fit.

Because he's the best technical sports entertainer on the planet

I noticed it today with Anna Jay. You have a young talent you really like but they need to work on their promos and emoting? Stick them with 2.0 and Chris Jericho. And honestly, Garcia really has developed a lot since JAS formed

Y'know, another aspect of why this gimmick works so well:
It puts Garcia in a win/win position, promo-wise.
He came in kind of bland and awkward as a talker. And now he's got this gimmick where if he continues to be bland and awkward, that just makes the gimmick funnier, but the more comfortable he gets, the more he is progressing as a character. He can practically do no wrong as far as promos, now.

There's also the aspect that Jericho helped him years ago at his lowest moment so of course he was going to join up if he had the chance.

He's Lance Storm's serious gimmick but if it were done in a way that didn't suck.
it works for him.

I really don't think it's a case of "That's the joke bro"
For example, Hager and 2.0 are not entertaining either.

But it was absolutely the joke when Garcia first joined. He called himself the world’s greatest technical sports entertainer for God’s sake. Also, Hager is Hager, but I hard disagree that 2.0 aren’t entertaining, and they are solid promos, to boot.

2.0 is incredible and I will suffer no slander against them.

A dude whose nipples get hard enough to ask the question "What makes Daddy Magic's nipples hard?" is disqualified from being boring.

Beyond the "that's the joke" aspect of it, the central heel idea behind it is that 2.0 and Jericho are taking this great wrestleguy and having him be a goof wearing kangol hats and hating technical wrestling as a way to contrast directly against Wheeler Yuta being taken in by the nasty wrestleboys and taught how to do a violence. It's taking two very similar guys in terms of being very young, very technical up and comers Tony Khan is smitten with, and having them both take wildly divergent paths to play off of one another, like they did in their ROH pure title match and probably will again.
But also it's absolutely the joke and I don't think there's really a correlation between "I find the other people in the group boring" and "This isn't what the story actually is". Like that's very much what the story is on an objective level and Regal has even basically spit out as much on commentary.

Daniel Garcia is like, one of the least boring wrestlers on the roster. Elite hater, hilarious fits, talks like the only white guy on his block…
But I get why he wouldn’t click with people in this board.

Cannot see how people can call Garcia boring or uncharismatic. He's phenomenally charismatic. He's just not traditionally loud and brash.

Said it before, but way too many people across wrestling in the US are conditioned to view "charisma" as being "over the top gimmick + long in-ring promos", outside of wrestlers with obvious physical hooks that allow them to sidestep that (e.g. Brock Lesnar being a physical freak with legit fighting credentials means he doesn't have to talk much). Too many then just take anything else as "boring guy whose only gimmick is 'I wrestle good!'", which is so painfully inaccurate most of the time.

And honestly, Garcia really has developed a lot since JAS formed It’s actually a brilliant strategy, because if shit ever gets messed up any of those 3 can immediately step in and save them. It basically gives Garcia and Anna Jay a safety net which should help their mic skills develop and step outside their comfort zone knowing they aren’t gonna tank a segment if they stumble
