Remember the time that Elias walked to Takeover London? How did he walk across the ocean? Explain! He played a Toad The Wet Sprocket song.

What's wrong with him being a lower card guy, though? WWE frankly should go back to having a decently developed undercard where guys have stories and fgeuds and we have fun characters across the show again. Elias is good for that and I kind of see that as his ceiling. I didn't see the Ezekiel character at all, but everything I have seen of him screams of a guy who is fine at the lower rungs of the show. He’s over enough to be Miz level. Doesn’t have to be in the main event. Don’t get me wrong, but I can see him on main event and not getting sufficient tv time that he deserves He may well end up on Main Event, but his position last night was as a major part of the main event match between Riddle and Seth.

I get it, but this way of thinkng imo, doesn't apply to Elias. Like Too Cool were lower card guy that fans were into. However unlike Elias, they weren't as over as the upper card guys of their time. Elias is over like rover, more than most in the company. Yes, pretty much everyone was over in the Attitude Era. WWE right now has too many in the mid to upper range that aren't over enough to justify their spots. They should take advantage of who is over. They should worry about solidifying the mid card before worrying about the lower card. Elias is a guy that can be brought up for the occasional big feud and have a go with some of the middle tier belts. Pretty much everyone was over in the Attitude era, except about a dozen guys on a 30-odd man roster. How do you solidify the midcard? You make people care about the lower card guys first, then have them put over the midcard. 3MB were so hated as lower carders, they were used to turn both Alberto Del Rio and The Miz babyface in the space of a fortnight.

Ezekiel looked so generic. Elias at least has a look.
Plus, there are guys that just look better with facial hair. Elias is one of those people.

I thought the first Miz face turn was when he joined Team Foley at Survivor Series?

Because he sees a modern day Randy Savage and it reminds him of THAT rumour...

He’s had multiple quad injuries, he’s lucky to be walking as is let alone with Elias!

Jasper: the WWE is for regular walking, not Elias walking
