10 Times Wrestlers Were Too Silly For Their Own Good

10. Matt Riddle

Matt Riddle (sadly AKA 'Riddle') is one of today's most underutilized WWE talents. He's certainly not underrated, as fans of his MMA career and NXT run recognize his accomplishments as well as in-ring prowess. Still, for some reason, McMahon and his lackeys certainly don't seem to take him as seriously as anyone would hope.

Perhaps what started lowering Riddle's glass ceiling stemmed from when he rubbed Brock Lesnar, and later Goldberg, the wrong way. In a comical pursuit of his dream matches, he generated genuine heat backstage, something he needed to avoid if he wanted to reach the top.

Ever since he was introduced to the main roster, the beloved combat artist has failed to maintain any serious momentum. For the better part of his first year, he wandered around the mid-card, often jobbing out to questionable foes such as King Corbin.

As of late, Riddle has received more screentime on weekly programming, yet he hasn't cemented himself in the main event picture. Instead, when he's not looking at the lights or barely squeaking by with a roll-up, he's cutting stoner comedy promos backstage, which makes him a bit harder to take seriously. To his detriment, the man can be quite hilarious at times, which puts him at risk of becoming a comical jobber like R-Truth. If only he could trade a few of his double entendres for a few more victories, as the comedy role would be a waste on such a skilled performer.
