People talk about Top Dolla's career coming to an end when he flopped over the top rope. But what about that time Dragon Lee debuted on the main roster?
At this point, I see him no more than a bottom-of-the-card jobber to the stars. Maybe it's because I've been watching a long time, and I felt he was doomed from the day he debuted on Smackdown. It was subtile, so you may not have caught it the first time. But he was in the front row as a spectator. Lee attempted to make a save for the LWO after they were brutally assaulted by The Street Profits and Bobby Lashley tonight, only to be stopped by security.
So here is the problem, security completely rag-dolled him before he could ever step over the barricade, making him look like a complete jabroni. There have pull aparts wrestling since forever. But how many times have you seen a pull-apart where the babyface doesn't even get some sort of shine before being restrained? To make matters worse, this was his debut, and he's perceived as weak. He didn't even get one lick on Lashley and the Profits before being carted away. There's a right way to do a security pull-apart and a wrong part, and this one made him look like shit.

we see him poorly because he's been stuck with an ultra heatless stable like the LWO, who is heatless because they don't let several of the members pop off in the ring like they did in NXT and they're confined to feuding with the other latino members of the roster.
dragon lee is really talented but between being taken out of the mania match for andrade, very stop start booking, being told he's gonna be the next Rey Mysterio from day one and not letting him spread his wings of course he's gonna come off as cooked.
plus he wore a thong out there for years.

Like he was going to end up in this position no matter what once that happened, Rey is an incredible outlier and saying any next luchador is the next him is a weight that no wrestler should have. |

Dragon Lee is insanely talented. Just unbelievably crazily good, one of the best high flyers of his generation. Botching a jump over the barricade will not banish him forever to obscurity as a miserable joke. Hell, you compare this to Flop Dolla, but this is the first time i've even heard this happened in the nine months since it did, I think he'll be fine and there's a mild chance you're the only one who remembers this.

I don't remember this, but Dragon Lee is to me what Lyra is to some people here. I just can't get into him, and yeah, I know being associated with the LWO hasn't helped.

If Braun Strowman joins the LWO He and Dragon Lee would make a good tag team. That helped get Ricochet over.

Of course he looks bad now. Currently dude is friends with Rey Mysterio, who is awful at friendships. Just ask Big Dave.

Like he was going to end up in this position no matter what once that happened, Rey is an incredible outlier and saying any next luchador is the next him is a weight that no wrestler should have. Also a big reason why Dominik had struggled to get over until he turned heel. He was basically just booked as being Reys son, and nobody cared. |

And now he is one of the most over people on the roster and carrying on the legacy of his Papi. |
