Sublime Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 At least with Jinder he was an unknown quantity really, he'd never had a sustained push maybe he could have taken off. With Swagger we'd seen his peak was the midcard but they put the belt on him anyway even though he never showed any reason to be pushed up. Jinder's push lasted too long sure but I don't think he's the worst and his reign bored me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good matches, was fairly over. Good presence. He was moved over to Raw and used in the mid-card, sure, but I don't think he was particularly damaged by that. The problem is that they didn't book him like they did as ECW champ but instead played up his weaknesses and made him a comedy act. Frankly, they should have booked him like Doc or Vader. Mahal on the other hand just had a body and the India connection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember JBL was feuding with Shawn and somehow Shawn was working for him, I dont remember Jericho feuding with JBL. Wasn't the storyline that Shawn made some bad investments, was broke and had to become JBL's butler? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again working title matches against guys like these makes most people look good. ' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn and JBL got into a car accident. The judge sentenced Shawn to become JBL's butler since Shawn had no insurance to pay for fixing JBL's car.

colonial Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 18 minutes ago, PetrolCB said: Wasn't the storyline that Shawn made some bad investments, was broke and had to become JBL's butler? Yeah, the storyline was done during the Great Recession of 2008-2009, with the idea that Michaels "lost all his savings" and agreed to be JBL's employee for a year. Michaels then beat JBL to get out of the contract at No Way Out in February 2009. AFAIK, the storyline didn't make much sense, fans didn't really buy into it and, in the middle of the storyline, Joey Styles gave JBL a black eye in the Middle East, pretty much deflating JBL as a heel and onscreen bully.

It was believable if you believed Shawn's investments went up his nose in the 80s and 90s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I sure don't have Natural on ignore but was just adding to what he posted above. As for them not looking cool considering I mainly wear black shoes and have no real sense of style then my interpretation of them might not be up to par. Oh, well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
