10 WWE Stars Who Are Horrendously Miscast
7. Johnny Gargano
Is playing:
A heel, and just in case there was any ambiguity over this development, tracing back to that time in 2018 when he was out there on bridges only tentatively enjoying the dark, he loves him some dark now. He is a full-blown heel; he has new music and everything, and to reinforce the message, he cheated during every available opportunity in his recent match with Dominik Dijakovic in a very obvious story very atypical of NXT Producer Shawn Michaels!
Should be playing:
Come back home to the babyface side of that bridge, Jonny, and stop looking at your hands. They'll still be there in the morning. Gargano can play heel...in a pro wrestling company. In the sports entertainment company, he is depended upon to act, and his melodramatic acting is the cause of his fall from grace. Gargano was once the hottest star in all of wrestling. He had fused emotive babyface work with state-of-the-art technicality to become great, and now he's a punchline in certain circles. This is an indictment of NXT's approach. His act used to convince. He was phenomenal as the earnest, explosive 21st century Ricky Steamboat. He needs to mouth "I'm sorry, I love you" in the direction of Shawn Michaels but not, under any circumstances, in the context of a pro wrestling match.
