10 Wrestling Characters Which Just Aren’t Working Right Now
4. Apollo Crews
Current Character: Smiling Goof
How does a chiselled guy who possesses one of the most jaw dropping move sets in WWE still only find himself sporadically on Monday Night Raw, jobbing out to whoever the flavour of the month is at that time?
He may not be the most engaging talker, but Apollo Crews still has more to offer than simply being a smiling cheeseball whose only real character development came during his time as part of Titus Worldwide.
We've tried plucky loser long enough, Vince. It's time for a change.
Future Character: No Nonsense Wrestling Machine
Crews' unquestionable ability in the ring needs to be capitalised on. The guy is 6ft 1", weighs 240 lbs and can do a standing moonsault.
He doesn't need to be anywhere near a microphone (at least not for a while) just allow him to overwhelm some developmental talents for a few weeks and push the fact that he's here to show people why he's the best.
Once he's done that, move onto bigger prey until he feels comfortable enough in his new character to pick up a mic and own the fact that he is WWE's modern no nonsense 'Wrestling Machine'.
Kurt Angle would be proud.
