10 WWE Stars Who Are Horrendously Miscast
2. Big E
Is playing:
An entertaining if played out tag team star fated, at this point, to continue setting records the precise number of which, much less the chronology, has long since blurred into itself. Is it nine? It's impressive - on paper - we are told that much. The formula is wearing as thin now as E is thicc; New Day win doubles gold, put on a couple of exciting if rote Triple Threat or Fatal Four-Way ***1/2 mini-bangers, lose gold, put on a couple of...rinse, repeat, patter steadily crumbles, much like a scotch pancake that needs more syrup - and the thing about syrup is that sh*t gets sickly.
Should be playing:
The top babyface in the company, or at least be positioned as a major singles star. Big E can work the hell out of a convoluted and frantic match, knows the value of the odd high spot and when to do it, and possesses the heavyweight stopping power and sheer charisma to get over in a challenging role - particularly since he will mercilessly banter off the piss-poor writing top WWE faces have historically been subjected to. They should put him over Goldberg to launch the push, purely so that he can repeat this promo verbatim.
