And my ultimate rebuttle is this and is bolded, underlined and italizied: Does it make any sense why a guy that is NOT ON TV FOR WWE more over than lower guys on the roster WHO ARE??????0
You can't tell me if Bo Dallas, Dean Ambrose, Kassius Ohno, Richie Steamboat, Seth Rollins just so happened to show up on RAW or SmackDown next week that they will be as over as Curt Hawkins, Darren Young, Epico, Jei Uso, Jimmy Uso, Michael McGuillicutty, Primo, Titus O'Neil, Trent Barretta, Tyler Reks or Yoshi Tastu. You cannot tell me that even IF these guys were to debut in the Northeast, they would get the reaction. Taz at 2000 Royal Rumble was huge because Taz was probably as over as any ECW guy could be that was not named Rob Van Dam was at that point. COULD Ambrose, Cesaro, Ohno and even Rollins be dropped and return to their glory on the indpendents in the 50's YES they can be upper midcard which I would say at the point they were hired they were. Cesaro and Ohno could borderline main event as a tag team and Ambrose never even main evented ONCE in DG-USA. CZW he was world champion when they were borderline regional which in the 50's HE COULD.
If WWE would release Hero, CC or Black they were still Stars at ROH or DGUSA... but nobody at ROH, DGUSA, PWG cares about Darren Young, Michael McGuillicutty or Titus O'Neill.
A lot of the WWE Midcard Guys would not be that over in ROH....
So they don't goto RoH, they would go else where and be stars. Look at Matt Hardy, he headlines for PWS and Extreme Rising. And who's to say that RoH would not be interested in any current WWE guys. they may be it is just not known. Hell TNA may be interested in the guys and put them in their mid card programs too.
Sorry...diagree...Matt Hardy & Co. appears at PWS as Special Attraction once or twice a year. It is similar to Hero's last Appearances at ROH. A Special Attraction. No Regular, No Main Eventer!
And Matt Hardy isn't Epico, Young or O'Neill & Co. Look at the guys that were fired in the last few years Luke Gallows, Cliff Compton, Masters, Eugene, Shad, Michael Tarver and so on....None of these guys would be or has headline a show for ROH, PWG, DGUSA or CZW. Hero, CC, Rollins & Co. would like Low-Ki, Colt Cabana or Daniel Bryan did (in 2010)
TNA also rarely takes these guys under contract.
PWS and Extreme Rising are a different kind of Wrestling Promotions. They are specialized to bring back old stars. IMO a different Story.
