Quick questions

Hey Scott,


1. What wrestler did you think was going to be a big star but they just didn’t and fizzled out?

2. Who’s the wrestler that you STILL can’t understand how they got over.

​1. Lately there’s been a LOT. Dolph Ziggler’s getting close to that point now because he should have been a lot bigger of a deal and was just never able to get there. Bobby Lashley was guaranteed money and just couldn’t ever make it click, plus he wanted to fight.

2. I’m gonna go the controversial route and say CM Punk, at least in the sense of getting himself over as a tippy top guy. I had only really known him as one of Punk’s lackies in early TNA and never really saw his WWECW stuff because I wasn’t watching at that point, so I never saw the transition from indy guy to star. After the pipebomb and Cena match he was there, obviously, but I always found it weird to reconcile the plucky underdog character they had him doing in his first World title with the character he became via the Straight Edge stuff. ​
