It really depends on each particular circumstance. Test simply CANNOT get over no matter what, so that's on him. Eugene was slapped with a dumb gimmick with no mileage, so that's on creative. But then you have the Boogeyman who was also given a bad gimmick but worked the hell out of it and now he's over.
So does that leave Eugene off the hook or not?

It was over exposure and bad angles that killed his overness, IMO. |

Getting over can be put down to a number of things. But I feel that you just need to catch peoples eyes make them step back and go wow. Whether that is through a good spot during a match, a great interview, great selling or a great wrestling move.

It really depends.
I'll choose two guys, Rob Conway and Umaga.
Rob Conway gets a very brief three-week push, wherein he impresses me TREMENDOUSLY. And then we never see him again, save for the two times a year that he's brought on RAW to be squashed in literally seconds.
Umaga gets very little attention while his manager is EXTREMELY popular. The solution is to muzzle the manager, while really, Umaga should have been working that much harder to get the crowd behind him and keep level with Estrada.
The first I blame on the impatience of the bookers/writers, the second I blame the wrestler himself.
