10 Wrestlers Who Are Way Too REAL For WWE
7. Sonny Kiss
Brimming with charisma and with an explosive in-ring style and attention-grabbing personality, Sonny Kiss might seem like an easy fit in WWE. However, Kiss has a core philosophy to his wrestling that aims to create authenticity. Everything you see in and outside of the ring with himis real, and that's a level that WWE would mishandle.
The Concrete Rose has discussed before with Sports Illustrated how the early days of his career saw bookers try to make him out as a Goldust or Adrian Adonis type character. Still, in his own words, she "wouldn't have thrived doing that. It wouldn't have been real, and people can see through fakeness".
He definitely has a point, as his true to life wrestling persona is something that only he could handle correctly, and WWE's creative freedom wouldn't allow for that.
Kiss is finding success in All Elite because he doesn't fall into the stereotypes that most companies would make with him, and this makes him one of the most genuine characters in the business right now, meaning he's way too real for WWE.
