What does winning the US title again do for Sami when the story is that he can't win the world title? The Sami vs Trick feud doesn't need a title match at mania.

I don't know, I don't watch NXT. But the little I've seen of him, he's usually bland, at least on the main roster. Cornette doesn't even like him, and he is supposed to be a fan of guys like Gargano.
Cornette doesn't like small guys unless they're shredded like Finn or Ciampa.

back in his NXT days he was really hyped. He, Ciampa, Cole, Keith and some others.
If what I'm hearing is true poor Keith Lee.
He never really was same after covid.

And it was worth it. He is a chief propagator of the kind of wrasslin you love
He and Cole were catching flack over the endless kickouts and nearfalls in their matches on NXT. The kind of stuff that AEW fans and Meltzer love.

I thought we've gone through this phase and are over it. Bret, Michaels, Guerrero, Rey, Punk, Bryan, Styles - all small guys that succeeded in WWE. Maybe we should stop giving them too much excuses.
I've given you the history of folks top of smackdown midcard scene from 2023 till now. Non of them were just good wrestlers without character or promo work.

There's also the fact in we're in the era of lengthy championship reigns.
Attitude and ruthless aggression was revolving door of champions. Sometimes, a reign might last only a week.
Santino was a two time IC champ in that era.

Bret and HBK broke the mould being good smaller wrestlers when Vince temporary shifted from his bodybuilder fixation during the steroid trial allegations. Hulkster and Macho had left for WCW.
Who were their contemporaries? Taker hadn't polished his ring work then. Yokozuna, Sid, Lex Luger, Diesel, Razor were serviceable but had looks carrying them. Stone Cold relied more on promo and character work especially after his neck accident.
HBK was the fanciful showman while Bret let his ring work speak for him. They were two good small guys in an era of giants.
Nowadays, we have many skillful small guys competing against one another.

Guerrero also had the Latino lie, steal and cheat thing going for him. Something Dominik inherited to get over with the crowd.

Punk was the indy guy archetype who made way for other similar guys in the modern era. No one was wrestling a similar style(maybe Jeff), doing suicide dives in WWE at that time.
Heyman also batted for him in the office.
Despite having been multiple champion on Smackdown. He had to suffer through the straight edge society /New Nexus storyline before really given the ball after the pipebomb promo (promo work was a factor).

Bryan never really broke ground until his YES/No catchphrases and story with Kane and AJ Lee took off.

Styles was a made guy coming from NJPW in 2016. Perfect timing as that was the year WWE became more indycentric in wrestling style. Folks like Owens, Balor, Rollings were already mixing it up on Raw.

Rey was allowed to shine because there was no similar guy on the roster allowed to do what he could do. Now you get Dragon Lee, Penta and other masked guys. Fenix is floundering hard because nothing sets him apart from other masked guys.

if e really good e go see chance. Either that or he's not being used well.
The Andrade wey una dey praise now for AEW which chance e been see for SmackDown?
If you're less than 6ft tall, depend on ring work rather than promo or character you're cooked in the fed.
All them Melo, ilja suppose dey thank Sami Zayn for using the US open title challenge as medium to get over with their wrestling skills.

The best tag teams on Smackdown took a backseat to MFT vs Ojuju boys for almost 6 months.

These writers must always insert a new character not found in the original work.

competition is a thing, but look at the optics. He's been in the company for how long, and not even a midcard title in his name. Even Theory has that. With the way he was hyped.
He got a tag title reign with Ciampa. You know WWE values looks and promos over ring ability. It's why guys like Fraxiom, MCMG, Los Garzas are struggling.
Melo and guys like Ilja are just getting their break now because the smackdown midcard title scene cleared up a bit.

Logan Paul held the United States title for almost a year in 2023. It then went to LA Knight who had a boring reign and feud with Nakamura before being locked in the Samoan feud between Jacob and Solo.
Where Johnny wan see chance?

you're excusing a crime? I'm sure you thought it was really cool what Seth did to Heyman.
Heyman got what he deserved.

This is a demotion.
They don't have any plans for Johnny on the main roster. I don't see him beating Myles Bourne who's just starting his reign.

Some convos are silly. Now Matt doesn't deserve a Hall Of Fame?
The Dudleys are already in the HOF why aren't the Hardys? They're with TNA, a partner promotion, appeared on NXT and will be in the latest WWE game. It's puzzling
