10 WWE Stars Who DESPERATELY Need Something New

3. Johnny Gargano

This guy recently had quite the conversation with his friend's young son. The enthusiastic 10-year old explained who his favourite WWE stars were, then said he liked "those who have the best matches". That prompted yours truly to suggest that Johnny Gargano might be one of his favourites.

"Why would you think that?", he asked. This kid then went on to criticise WWE's handling of Gargano by pointing out that he'd rarely seen 'Johnny Wrestling' work great matches on Raw or pay-per-view. That's when it hit home: Michael (the little boy in question) hadn't seen any of Gargano's sterling work on NXT, or before than on the independent scene.

He's spot on. There's been nothing to get excited about since Johnny returned to the company! By this point, it's fairly clear that having Triple H's support isn't enough to make Gargano a key member of the main roster crew. He's another who will have to get creative and perhaps find something "sports entertainy" before he gets any house room.

So there.
