Given that there are numerous of other characters on the WWE roster currently, there are tons of other guys I'd much rather see. Dolph Ziggler was simply an example. Don't get butthurt because someone said something you didn't like.
You didn't say anything I didn't like. I like Ziggler - I think he's great. I just found it ridiculous that every negative comment you made about Maddox could've been said about Ziggler when he debuted. Your age shows when you criticize new guys - you clearly don't remember how you felt about Ziggler in January 2006.
And you remember how incredibly green Nicky was back then right? He was a cheerleader on a male dominated show, why would you be so anxious to get him on TV to display his (green) talents?
He was on TV a lot, though - similar to how Maddox is now. When the Spirit Squad debuted, their initial feud was with DX ... they were teamed with Vince and Shane McMahon. That's as high profile a debut program as Maddox has had. Still, it wasn't Ziggler that got the majority of the ring time. It was Kenny and Mikey. Ziggler only got into the 5-on-1s and 4-on-1s.
Can you honestly tell me that you saw something in Ziggler during those 5-on-1s that screamed "future world champ"? Doubtful. My guess is that you felt the same about Ziggler then as you do Maddox now -- Actually, I'd bet that you felt less about Ziggler because he was completely lost in the shuffle of the Spirit Squad.
...and just curious. How come Ziggler gets the benefit of the doubt. With Ziggler you say, "Oh he was green ... why would they want to display him?" ... but with Maddox, it's "They clearly don't want to display him because he'll never be any good."
I want proof Brad Maddox is as over as you claim he is. He may have had a decent amount of heat at one time, but it's faded away. No one cared for his promo last night on Raw.
As "over" as I claim he is? I want proof that I said he's over. All I said is that he gets heat. Go back and watch some of his promos prior to last night.
Tensai beat WWE Champion CM Punk and pinned John Cena clean within his first two months of his re-debut. Do you know how many times someone has debuted strong only to fall short of expectations? Doesnt mean shit buddy. Maddox started out with a strong storyline which involved a WWE Champion and a huge up and comer in Ryback. There isn't a single person on this planet that couldn't have filled the role that Brad played. Anyone. He didn't show us what sets him apart from everyother wrestler on the roster. Seriously, I'm not about pushing guys away from the main roster but Maddox is certainly nothing special; he's incredibly generic. I just recently watched some of his NXT matches; not awful, but nothing special. Heres a guy with basic wrestling knowledge that landed a spot on the roster because they needed someone to feed to Ryback. So yeah, sorry if I don't give two shits about Brad Maddox. I'll gladly take anyone, including Dolph Ziggler over Maddox any day of the week.
Ziggler started out with a strong story line that included the owner of the company, his son, his son-in-law, and Shawn Michaels. He didn't show us what sets him a part from every other wrestler on the roster --- or even in his own faction. No one thought he was anything special. He was basically a guy that landed on the main roster because he agreed to be a cheerleader.
...do you see how you can say pretty much the same things about Ziggler as you can about Maddox?
And that's really the point that you're missing. You're talking out of both sides of your mouth. When you dismiss Maddox as having no future for not impressing you in three months - and then claim to be a big Ziggler fan - it comes off like you either have no memory, or you're so new to the product you just forgot about that time when Ziggler did less with the same opportunity.
