10 "Next Big Things" In Wrestling Nobody Cared About

Parker Boudreaux, infamously, has been compared to Brock Lesnar since he first entered the spotlight, and has been plagued by the curse of comparison ever since. Boudreaux looks like Lesnar - sort of - in that his default facial expression is that of a snarl.

But this is where the comparison ends.

Boudreaux is nothing like Lesnar in-ring-wise but everything like your average WWE Performance Center trainee. His work is uninspired, as was the Joe Gacy pairing, who he failed to ever click with, and so, devoid of any audience resonance, Parker squashed a glut of goobers, with his only WWE highlight being that time he threw Brian Kendrick down a flight of stairs. It wasn't even the strangest part of his character, either, as WWE had Parker Boudreaux shave his head cleanly, making him look like a walking thumb in what looked like a walking punishment.

Now in AEW, Parker Boudreaux has flopped again. Still nobody cares about him as his signing was clearly one made without any sense of direction, as he's now been aligned with two seemingly objectless factions: Ari Daivari's Trustbusters and Swerve Strickland's Mogul Affiliates.

Last wrestling on the 3 March Rampage in a loss to Naturally Limitless, it seems Parker Boudreaux's pro wrestling career indeed may have been Naturally Limited.
