Seriously, I remember they were seriously hyping up how big a deal his signing was, and then ever since he debuted, I don't think he's won a single feud. Now, I know the obvious answer is Good Ol' Fashioned Incompetence, but it still feels as if there's something else to it.
Or am I just crazy?

Yes you are crazy.
Why are you so crazy?
You should probably do something about being so crazy.

They obviously thought they’d get Rush but since that hasn’t happened they don’t need to build this guy up anymore.

His tiny panties make them feel things they are a little afraid of.

He's not Mysterio, therefore he's worthless in WWE's eyes.
Same with any other luchador the past twenty years.

Probably two things
1) They thought that Rush would join him a few months later.
2) WWE seem really impatient with luchadors in particular. If they're not immediately the next coming of Rey Mysterio they kinda stop giving a f*** about the luchadors.

WWE has a curse when it comes to actual Luchadores. It's why anyone who comes in has to de-mask eventually or they flame out. It's so f***ing weird because like they could easily move merch and be marketable, and Rey has proven that, but if you aren't immediately Rey they flame out
I don't know if Lee will recover or not but I have to imagine if this keeps up he'll just go back to Mexico and likely where his brother is in AEW. Which is crazy because the dude should sell himself but the interest is not currently outwardly there...

vince saw someone else on tv he must sign immediately to make the new star of the promotion, Dragon Lee was pushed out of favour by the heroic kitten vince saw on youtube three weeks after his signing.

I think part of the problem is that HBK is notoriously bad at booking foreign talents well.

I think a lot of you all are really overreacting & Dragon Lee will still be the one that dethrones Dom

I wasn’t shocked Dom retained. But I haven’t seen enough nxt to know if he’s being treated like crap or not.

His win/loss record isn’t great (3-6-0) but he’s still presented above a great deal of that roster, a lot of whom have better records. I'm surprised he's won that many. He's presented as a big deal, his matches are all given a good amount of time (they've all gone over ten minutes), and it feels like he only loses by being screwed, but he doesn't win very often. |

He’s generally treated as a pretty big deal and is always up to something. He just loses all of the big matches. He could do worse but it’s an odd booking strategy for sure. |

MXT is just very busy.
Everyone usually has a story of some kind, so when someone doesnt, it's much more noticable than on the main roster.
Dragon is being presented pretty well,but as it stands, he hasn't been given a real storyline yet.
Sometimes that takes a bit of time, but eventually HBK and team will find some crazy thing for him to do.
Probably a mask vs mullet match, given the random focus on Dom's mullet and Dragon as a Lucha and his mask last night.

I doubt he has. It's just that this Dom/Rhea run has been doing great things for NXT's ratings.
