Did ROH's audience pay to see him wrestle or buy his dvds in the same numbers as those other guys? And now that he's in front of a wider audience his shortcomings in the "star quality" department are pretty hard to miss.

    I blame the booking. If he'd come out in that tag match in week 1 and knocked Heath Slater out cold in one hit? I'd guess people would be eating out of his hand. Instead, they decided to job him out for 5 weeks, while they promoted some retarded-looking "rock star" who looks like he just finished smoking a joint as he came out to the music. (Note: I'm not against rock star types. John Morrison? I'm there. But Slater, at least to me, doesn't have Morrison's looks, and that's really what makes the character)

     

    I agree, in part. I like Slater, but, it just looks like he's trying too hard to do... something. I don't even know what.

     

    Although, Tarver, never cared. I was there for Shamrock, Blackman, all the way until Big Show boxer month. If I wanted to see a boxer/MMA fight, guess what I'd watch?

     

    I can see Slater possibly, Gabriel, and maybe one or two of the other guys connecting, depending on how the next 2 months go. But, I just can't see someone like Tarver, or Sheffield getting over anytime soon with those gimmicks. At least Otunga has the A lister thing, and Danielson needs no explanation. Young maybe, I'm not a fan of his look, just cause something about him looks very off putting to me.

     

    But, we shall see.

    This is another one of those cases where you live in a different version of reality than I do.

     

    First, Masters was AWFUL. God AWFUL. In the ring and on the mic. Just a total botchfest.

     

    Secondly, he was nowhere near over. He was given months and months of time with the Masterlock challenge, was put into a program with HBK and Cena off the bat, and yet everytime he talked the crowd completely turned on him. He got X-Pac heat. The only person who was less over than him at the time was Rob Conway.

     

    I have no idea what you were watching if you thought he was 'fairly over'

     

    He wasn't getting booed as a heel. People wanted him off TV.

     

    This is how bad Masters' first run was.

     

    I don't even remember those programs! I recall the Masterlock Randomness, but, I guess I just erased him from my mind.

     

    Also, I'm sure I'm stating the obvious, and, maybe there'll be a swerve to it. But, now that they announced how NXT will be run, is it the easy guess Danielson wins, and challenges Miz for the US strap? I've been assuming that would happen after this run of rookies ended, but, that made it seem more obvious.
