5 WWE Superstars who deserve better
Like many of you, I am a die-hard WWE fan. No matter how terrible the product gets, I will always be a fan. Sure, sometimes things can get a bit hokey and there are times when I cringe just like anyone else. But at the end of the day, it's sports entertainment and eventually, things will get better.
One of the primary contributors to making things boring, or stale, is the blatant mismanagement of talent. While I'll be the first to admit I am far from being qualified enough to be a WWE writer, there are some things that simply rely on common sense alone.
When you look at the current WWE main roster lineup, you pretty much see the same handful of Superstars at the top, the same mid-carders, and then everyone else peppered-in, with the occasional surprise. With that said, it has grown increasingly obvious that some guys deserve much better.
There are some who excelled tremendously in NXT, but when they got called-up, they were essentially thrown on the backburner and forgotten about. Then there were those who came to the company after having huge success elsewhere, only to be tossed in the middle of the mid-card land.
Sometimes things need to be shaken up a bit. It's okay to go against the grain from time-to-time and in this case, it's certainly perfectly okay to throw a bone to a deserving talent. What's the worst that could happen? He or she sets the world on fire and gives the WWE Universe a healthy alternative to get behind.
Today we explore our options, so-to-speak, and give readers something to chew on. Take a long, thoughtful look at both the RAW and Smackdown rosters and try to think of just one Superstar who deserves a better booking opportunity than they are currently being given.
Here's a look at my 5 WWE Superstars who deserve better.
#5 Apollo Crews
Apollo Crews has the look, the size, the build and the in-ring presence needed to be a top-tier Superstar. Not to mention the guy moves flawlessly around the ring. During his time as an independent wrestler, he made a name for himself as "Uhaa Nation."
During this time, he was lighting the indie scene on fire and once news broke of his WWE signing, a lot of fans, including myself, were extremely excited about what this star could bring to the table. Unfortunately, Apollo has yet to be given adequate opportunities to prove his worth as a WWE Superstar.
Despite not getting much love from WWE's creative squad, it appears Apollo has maintained his composure and from what I've heard, he's very popular and well-liked in the locker-room. This should help him moving forward as more opportunities present themselves. Apollo Crews is definitely worth taking a chance on.
