10 WWE Wrestlers That Can’t Be Harmed By Always Losing

If only Elias was a good professional wrestler.

That's not intended to have quite as much snark, but if Joe Strummer on promos was more than Joe Blow between the ropes, WWE might have had their next big star and first NXT graduate to be considered a genuine rookie-to-WrestleMania star. What this means is that he can't advance beyond banter EPs and squash feuds he loses. What this also means is that the matches almost never matter.

He barely featured at SummerSlam, but that wasn't necessarily for the worst. He won a squash the next night against Curt Hawkins, and can continue to plug the album WWE released for him - itself a greater incentive to invest in than any of his matches.

As long as him plucking strings on guitars still pulls them in the audience, his primitive in-ring exploits can continue unabated. He's yet to even receive comeuppance from The Undertaker for his WrestleMania troll job during 'The Deadman's light show. He took a kicking from John Cena, sure - but doesn't everybody?
