He was a lock for a push on that alone. You would think that would assuage the Becky fanatics about her push. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cole/Styles/Bàlor vs Kenny/Bucks in a Bullet Club revenge match would be cool. It wouldn't make a much story sense, but you could throw in the Good Brothers and Cody and Page for a big ten man elimination match or something. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're saying Omega, the Bucks, Cody and Daniels to WWE since they are friends with AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Karl Anderson, Luke Gallows and a ton of other ex indy guys they worked regularly with?

The soccer fan vibe he gives off with Cesaro is top-notch and they work quite well with some awesome teams. Along with the other issues people had with him though he's also delivered some nasty shots that upset some people. One that comes to mind is the kick to Jeff Hardy that knocked out his tooth. I just remember he got a lot of grief over that. Yes, but then he kicked Enzo's face off and everyone forgave him. 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly the style of wrestling Vince likes most actually was Finlay's so its not really impossible that age was the biggest factor there.

That brief period where Finlay was helping to get Lashley over, and the time period where “The Little Bastard” has no origin was good enough in my book. When he started using that jolly entrance music is when it went downhill. Also... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finlay beating the shit out of dudes on mid-'00s Smackdown! deserved more play. Hammering guys with that shillelagh, doing that fucking apron-assisted atomic drop, punching dudes square in the face...so good.

Victator Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Finlay kept a really strong push from the time he started in WWE to the end. Especially as he was best known as a solid WCW mid card talent. I think he main evented one or two Smackdown pay per views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneWolf&Subs Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Finlay was in the perfect spot, without having to win the big belt. He also consistently won in crooked cunning ways that legitimized him, and kept his face opponents looking strong. He never overstayed his welcome too, although he could have provided as a legit top face if they didn’t de-fang him so much. It helped as well that he was playing 2nd to the great King Bookah angle that was providing great color at the top instead of the dreadful JBL angle that dragged on way too long. Who was it that didn’t like Finlay’s comeback so much that they tried to kill it by giving him a Leprechaun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I got really bored this morning since I am killing time before a meeting. With Revival winning the Tag Titles last night - I was wondering what the list looked like of folks who were NXT champs who haven't won Gold in the WWE since their call up. The list is Sami Zayn Samoa Joe Andrade Ascension Vaudevillains Sanity Ember Moon Lucha Dragons (partial since Kalisto has won titles but not poor Sin Cara) Two notes before folks ask. This is just the NXT Championships (not any of the FCW versions). And I didn't include Kairi Sane who technically hasn't been called up despite being on like 3 PPVs.

Zakk_Sabbath Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Man it's criminal how badly The Ascension was handled. They could really be one of those teams that benefits from either being sent back down or leaving for NJPW/AEW/Theoretical No 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I could swear that Sami had an IC or US title run, but maybe not. Out of all of those names though, Samoa Joe stands out the most. He should have had some kind of title run by this point. Hell, he should have won the WWE Title in the second match with AJ and probably dropped it back to AJ in the third match.
