MITB & What could have been Tyson Kidd....

[Madico_Fs]

Tyson Kidd is currently in the mid card, but what if he was marketed correctly and pushed right?
*
Think about this for a moment, MITB this year, the lead up saw Kidd be pushed over Tensai and others. Rhodes and Ziggler are going to be World Champions one day with out the need of the contract, I think this would have been the perfect way for Kidd to be the next big thing (look at Daniel Bryan now apposed to 14months ago). Summerslam could have seen Kidd and Gabriel teaming up to take on Truth and Boom, Prime Time Players and The Uso’s in a Fatal 4 Way Tag Team Title Match, now that would have been good to see, to make it better? Add…ladders?
*
Kidd didn’t need to win that match at SSlam, but for him to be taken serious he should be seen near the world champion, since he is a face have him come to back up Sheamus when he is being double teamed by Del Rio and such,
*
Night of Champions could see Miz defending the belt against Kidd who loses off of a distraction (a rival perhaps) and then continues to feud for the IC Title for a couple of months trading wins with the Miz,
*
*
At the Royal Rumble Kidd could come so close to winning then be eliminated (for this idea say by Cody Rhodes), Cody then could start raving about how he will face the world champion at Wrestlemania….enter The Smackdown GM, who reveals that Rhodes can not challenge the World Champion at Wrestlemania. Cody will flip out and demand an explanation….enter Tyson Kidd to then can gloat to Rhodes that finally he will have HIS moment on the grandest stage of them all….WRESTLEMANIA! (Side not Rhodes then can challenge the WWE Champion at Wrestlemania)
*
I think this would have been a great way to push a younger guy towards the top he could feud with someone like a good technical wrestler (William Regal) or a high flyer (Gabriel, Mysterio, Cara).
*
So what do you think of this way of pushing a younger star?
*
Is MITB the way to do it?

Im going to say no. Kidd is very good in the ring, but they had put no stock into him prior to his thing leading up to mitb, they did that with swaggar and it fell flat. Granted that had to do with him having a shit angle but I digress. D-bry got a bit of build kinda, he had some solid time in the smackdown and raw mid card prior to winning mitb. Also Kidd is small and like it or not few small guys end up with long term success. Bryan/rey/punk connect with the crowd exceptionally well I dont know if kidd has that kind of ability. So it nether would have had a chance nor should it have.

I think Kidd could've won the Money in the Bank contract, cashed it in for a legit match at a B-PPV, and then lose after putting on a solid, competitive effort against the champion.

Ziggler doesn't need the briefcase because he's technically already a main eventer.

So what do you think of this way of pushing Tyson Kidd? Is MITB the way to do it?

First of all, let me just say that I don't like Tyson Kidd and he has never peaked my interest. The guy's plain vanilla. Sure, he portrayed a cocky persona during his first days in the WWE and when he turned on David Hart Smith, but it proved to be FAR less successful compared to how well Cody Rhodes and Jack Swagger played it out during their respective pushes.

But for topic's sake, I don't think that winning the Money-in-the-Bank is the way to push Tyson Kidd. I was gonna type that it's the way to push him, but he just doesn't have the WWE World Heavyweight Champion Build to begin with. Should a guy like Kidd be pushed, the mid-card's the ONLY place for him. As for how he'll be pushed, an upset victory over an established superstar could do. His upset victory over Tensai, while unrealistic at first, was a decent start, but the WWE didn't follow it up, now did they?

Ziggler doesn't need the briefcase because he's technically already a main eventer.

No offense, but could you kindly explain to me further why Dolph Ziggler doesn't need the Money-in-the-Bank Briefcase? And how is he "already" a main-eventer for that matter? They've countlessly given him chances to prove himself and he hasn't delivered much. Remember his feud with Edge? Being "awarded" the World Heavyweight Championship and losing it to the latter on the same night proved that he wasn't ready to carry even the WHC. If anything, Ziggler's an upper mid-carder at best. He DEFINITELY needs the MITB Briefcase in order to re-establish himself, and this is one thing that the WWE is doing right.

I like Tyson Kidd inside the ring, he's got skills and abilities. However, Tyson Kidd isn't a main eventer. I know that in a perfect world everybody would get a shot at being a main eventer but that's not how it works. If Tyson Kidd is able to develop some real personality, some charisma and some mic skills to go along with his very solid in-ring abilities; then I might see him getting a main event push.

All in all, however, Tyson Kidd is where he needs to be right now and that's either in the tag team or mid-card pictures. There's nothing wrong with being a tag team or mid-card star. I dunno why some people treat it as if it's some sort of a bad thing being a mid-carder. The way some people talk, you'd think that being a mid-card star is like having terminal cancer.

I think Tyson Kidd does have untapped potential and I hope that WWE is able to ultimately do something with him. However, I've seen nothing from Kidd that suggests that he's a main eventer, a future World Champion or that he should even be in a position to be a main eventer or World Championship contender. I know lots of people want to blame it all on how WWE markets you or how they do this or that. That's only part of it. The WWE can't just wave a magic wand and make somebody a mega star. The WWE can give opportunities but it's up to the wrestler to make that opportunity work.

Main eventers need to have a reaxtion from the audience

this is pro-wrestling not debating

Even Vicky G has the stadiums baying for blood, Tyson is met with universal lack of response

he needs a reboot, maybe a mask, anything but what he has now.

When I say that he's already a main eventer, I mean Ziggler is already in that upper tier of stars (excluding John Cena). He's already one of those select few people who will almost always considered as a possible top title contender. That's why he doesn't need the briefcase. Because he's going to constantly be in programs with upper-tier talent. He's not going to suddenly and inexplicably drop down to feuding with Justin Gabriel or something.

The only reason that Ziggler isn't higher than he currently is, is simply because most of the year has been focused on the returning stars from the past like Triple H, Taker, The Rock, Brock Lesnar, and Chris JEricho (who put Ziggler over).
