And of course, after this latest project of hers goes over like a lead balloon encased in steel and fired at the ground by a railgun, they'll somehow blame Paul Heyman. They'll double fire him for it, however one would manage to do that. They'd roll him up in a carpet and push him off a cliff. an EXTREEEEEEEEEEME carpet.

Honestly you people act like his going to be handed the world title within 6 months. Being involved in big programs only helps the young wrestlers, (especially when they have a load of potential, like Rodimer may have) blind negativity never helps anything. A push is different from being involved with high profile stars, the freakn' spirit squad had a fued with DX, all but one of them are off tv. Fact is WWE usually like to debut there characters incredibly strong before cooling them off, (sometimes for good unfortunately) its not any different from Carlito beating Cena in his debut or the already mentioned spirit squad being involved in the main event almost straight away. For the record, this isn't blind negativity. I've seen the guy on more than one occasion and he outright sucks. He's probably one of the worst current wrestlers on the WWE's payroll, and that's saying something. I've seen better Mark Henry matches.

Not to argue with you, AIG, but Rodimer has ZERO personality. And once again, I'll give a transcript almost verbatim from his latest interview during a recent DSW show: Rebecca DiPietro: *Asks asinine question* Rodimer: *Repeats last word Rebecca said, followed by a sharp inhale* Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah The Big Deal. Rebecca: *Asks another asinine question* Rodimer: *Repeats last word Rebecca said, followed by a sharp inhale* Blah, blah, blah, blah, The Big Deal. He sucks in the ring and on the mic. And I'm normally insanely optimistic about guys that are getting called up from developmental, but after seeing this guy over the past month not improve even a little bit, my optimism is dead. What I like about Rodimer is the way he goes about his promos, and the way he presents himself, he comes off as a very good heel. He has good presense, but that's as far as it goes. He had a match with Jake Hager, an actual amateur wrestler, and Rodimer was having a tough time in the ring. Well, he wasn't bad, but he wasn't main event level. That's my biggest problem with what they're doing with Rodimer. Everyone has been green. Everyone's favourite wrestler, at one point, they sucked. But they got some time, and then they became good. They're pushing this guy way too early, and it's only going to make him look bad.

And, in an off topic thing, AIG, doesn't Hager seem like he'll eventually become a pet project of JR's?

And when DX got together, they got squashed because they were lower down guys. Rodimer is being thrown into the main event angle on Raw.

You know who he reminds me of? Mark Jindrak. Remember that load? The guy that not even Kurt Angle could praise while keeping a straight face? [ And look how he improved and how he is doing very well in Japan and in HUSTLE. I just love when wrestlers improve

Fact is WWE usually like to debut there characters incredibly strong before cooling them off, (sometimes for good unfortunately) its not any different from Carlito beating Cena in his debut or the already mentioned spirit squad being involved in the main event almost straight away. Here's the difference between the Spirit Squad and Rodimer. The Spirt Squad consisted of five guys, most of whom have spent several years learning the craft. Granted the only one still on TV is the guy with the least experience, but that's not the point. Rodimer is a kid who has been in the business for a grand total of five months, six tops. Bringing someone in who is just starting in the lowest of the minor leauges for WWE, and putting them in a main event is not a good idea on any level. What happens the first time the guy gets rattled when the crowd eats him alive and starts missing every other spot? What happens when the promos are on live TV and not on tape? The only thing that can prepare you for it is experience, and, while everyone learns at different pace, throwing someone out there because "he's teh hawtness, blah blah" just doesn't cut it in the reason department. Mark my words, the kid will crash, and crash hard. Virtually no experience, with his only "big crowd" exposure being TE. As for the post earlier about WWE wanting guys to be the next Rock upon their debut, it's true, but it makes me laugh every time I think about it. Hell, THE ROCK wasn't even "the next Rock" when he debuted. Sadly, I see Rodimer going the way of "The Blue Chipper" and not "The People's Champion".

It's not like we (well I can only speak for me truthfully) are pissed that Rodimer is being thrown into this spot, it's not like he had anything to do with it. It's all Steph thinking she knows how to spot talent, when in actuality she somehow does a worse job than Johnny Ace. The real problem is any career Rodimer could've had under more developmental time and a proper build-up is now in jeopardy because of him being hotshotted into a main-event feud.

I would also like to add that this is not the first time this has happend, so it is not like we are shitting on it for no reason, but we have seen what happens when some green wrestler is thrown into the main event right away, they cant keep up, and they go to lower card hell, and get wished well.

Even tought I agree with you, he playes very well his "Dog-From-Sexual-Hell" gimmick.

He looks like a wrestler and has a back tattoo. Why is the back tattoo as relevant to wrestlers in the 2000's as having a mullet was to wrestlers in the 80's?
I don't see why they are wasting their time on a big guy who will likely flop when Matt Morgan and Sean O-Haire are not in the WWE. These guys would make money if brought back. Rodimer is untested and green. I don't get it.

Sean O´Haire and WWE Creative team? Hah, I can just imagine...
There would be 2 possibilities:
1) Make Sean generic. Yeah.
2) Play the "Devil Advocate" gimmick, but in a completely retard way. Like he just cut promos saying "BE EVIL CUZ EVIL IS THE COOLERZ0X!"

You do realize it was WWE that came up with the devils advocate gimmick in the first place??
Although why he was never seriously pushed would be an EXTREMELY good question.

Yes. And I loved WWE back in that year. But they changed...Don´t you agree?
