10 Terrible Wrestling Moments (That Were Almost Even Worse)
10. The Revival's WWE Main Roster Run
So there was that one banger with Chad Gable and Robert Roode, and there was that Ladder match with the New Day at TLC '19 which, while very good, was undermined by Big E being instructed by an agent to take two whole minutes to set up a suspended ladder structure while Dawson and Wilder sold the whole time.
Beyond that, it was a failure. Really, given FTR's wonderful 2022, it scans as a disgrace and a disaster in retrospect. They are outstanding as babyfaces. Dax Harwood's hot tag is unreal, but he's just as brilliant patrolling the apron and remonstrating with the ref. He knows what good cheating looks like. He holds it to a standard.
WWE couldn't even get them right as heels.
WWE had them scoot across the apron with burning anuses. In NXT, they threaded classic matches together to create thunderous reactions. On the main roster, they had threadworms.
As leaked by Bodyslam.net, the Revival very nearly met a bitterly familiar and even worse fate: after Dash was booked to fall over for a week or two, in a retread of the dreaded clumsy gimmick, they were nearly repackaged as jesters.
They were nearly clowns because good wrasslin' is amusing to WWE.
And you have spent the last 20 years wondering why WWE doesn't care about midcard titles.
