10 Reasons Not To Lose Faith In NXT

6. The Garganos

WWE is a strange place. This is a company that employs Sami Zayn, Johnny Gargano and Bayley, three of the most undeniable and natural babyfaces in the wacky world that is Planet Professional Wrestling, yet all three are currently positioned as heels. What's more, all three are absolutely tremendous in their respective roles.

Gargano's excellence as a heel may well be the most surprising of the three. The longtime MVP of NXT, Gargano completed his heel turn at NXT TakeOver: Portland back in February, costing blood feud rival Tommaso Ciampa his beloved Goldie. Gargano won the feud between the two but has largely been treading water since, a dangerous position for someone theoretically trying to establish themselves as a heel.

The only thing theoretical there is the danger, as Johnny Gargano and wife Candice LeRae have been one of the most consistently entertaining acts on NXT TV, a sequence of 'Dinner With The Garganos' segments providing laughs and development in equal measure. Gargano and LeRae consistently display the chemistry that one assumes a married couple would have, making for some delightful television.

Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
