10 Wrestlers With The WWE Stink
4. Bron Breakker
Somebody ought to be ashamed of themselves for the current position Bron Breakker finds himself in. Which, incidentally and as of this writing at least, was under the captive command of some f*cking red druids in Orlando somewhere.
One of the few instant shining lights from the aggressive rebadging of the developmental in 2021, Breakker had enough dumb jock intensity, a jacked physique and an absolutely wicked spear. A minuscule number of matches under his weight belt needn't have mattered. The same skill set worked well enough for Goldberg didn't it?
What didn't work for Big Bill was WWE's attempt to turn him into a long match practitioner/jack-of-all-trades in 2003. Draining and dull pay-per-view bouts squeezed every bit of aura out of him, and it is already happening again with Rick Steiner's fired up son. Rather than a squash merchant, the NXT Champion is working drab formula bouts that expose his limitations, his engine and his it factor.
A return to house shows for the brand might up his reps in a way where such things won't be required, but this basically acts as effective developmental anyway - he'll be expect to have sludgy chinlock matches on Raw and SmackDown so he might as well have them on NXT too. Pity the fun ended so quickly.
