10 Genius Ways Wrestlers Survived WWE Humiliations
9. Chad Gable Shows More Personality Than Ever
Y'know what's so awesome about Chad Gable? Not only is he the kind of guy who could wrestle rings around 99.9% of the WWE roster, but he's also comfortable in his own skin and doesn't feel the need to prove that every single week. No, the man knows his role in the company and plays it to a tee.
In fairness, anything would be better than the 'Shorty G' crap.
'Shorty' was ribbed by everybody (even workers the same size as him) for "being small". It was a rotten gimmick that was clearly going nowhere, but it was all part of Vince's bid to have Chad prove that he had personality. So, in a genius move, Gable waited for the ideal moment to show that he has loads of charisma after all.
His current character is even sillier than 'Shorty', but it's brilliant. Chad's constant cries of "SHOOSH!" are Kurt Angle-like in terms of comedy, but they don't detract from his in-ring skills at all. Fans are in on the joke, whereas they really weren't with that old short arse guise.
Chad has embraced goofy behaviour.
