10 WWE Superstars In Desperate Need Of An Image Update
8. Jason Jordan
The switch from singlet to shorts made no real sense; Jason Jordan still utilised his amateur-leaning in-ring repertoire, and deprived himself of the one tactic in his psychological arsenal to connect with crowds. No longer able to remove the straps from his shoulders to fuel his babyface comebacks, he stuttered as a babyface. The connection probably wasn't as stark as that - Jordan failed as a babyface because he uttered milquetoast sh*te like "When it comes to boos, you're the expert on that" - but it probably didn't help.
And, as he leans further and further into his storyline father for favours, he is unable to draw an unflattering comparison by cosplaying as him. If the idea is to position Jordan as a pale imitation of Kurt Angle - to draw heat under the oblivious pretence that he isn't - then Jordan, upon what hopefully is a short absence from the ring, should return dressed in full Olympic hero mode as a means of yet more flattery. Red, white, and blue singlet, with gold stars and gold trim. Blue elbow pads, blue knee pads, red boots.
A gold medal for being the World's Proudest Son.
