10 WWE Stars Who Desperately Need To Be Repackaged

7. Erick Rowan

Let's just make it three in a row for former Wyatt Family members here (as mentioned, that Strowman dude who everybody cr*pped on for the longest time is doing pretty well for himself).

Poor Rowan has lost his leader to another show but still gets to keep his sheep mask. It could be worse. Maybe? Actually, at this point, it's probably best to ditch the mask and find something else to do.

A couple years ago, WWE did try and make Rowan a singles babyface star (who could forget "Big Red" Rowan?). But after a quick feud with The Big Show (who could forget their classic stairs match?), he became an afterthought, and was stuck back with Bray just to give him something to do. Ever since then, he has been positioned as the weakest member of the team, and there are no signs that he’s going to turn things around in his current state.

Of the four men in the group, Rowan is admittedly the one with the least amount of upside, but that doesn't mean they couldn't do something with him. He's still big. He still has a good look. He needs something else to do. Perhaps sending him to NXT to be with SAnitY would keep him occupied, or there's plenty of wrestlers who could use a bodyguard-type figure. Maybe trim the beard, get him a different outfit and let him try something new.

As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at." Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week. Follow along @AndrewSoucek and check out my podcast at wrestlingwithfriends.com
