10 WWE Wrestlers Who Need To Be Taught A Lesson (And Who By)

Lesson: How to infuse comedy with legitimacy.

Chad Gable has not been in a position of any worth since his early main roster days as one half of the NXT darlings, American Alpha. You've read enough pieces on how underused Gable is and how a guy this good should've had a rocket strapped to his back by now - if only he was 7 feet tall!

The wrestling machine might have something to say about that. At 6ft, he wasn't the tallest man on the roster, but size was never something Kurt Angle depended on. The obvious legit backgrounds of both competitors aside, Angle told an impressive story in the ring - overcoming the odds as a plucky babyface or dissecting his prey as the more sadistic version of his act, towards the end of his first run.

Angle had a diverse palette, but his coming out party started when he realised his comedic timing and capacity to poke fun at himself could be used to get over - and it did. Milk, cookies and naive hilarity put him on the map without taking away any of his wrestling credibility.

If Gable can find the happy medium between levity and hard-arse, he could strike gold soon enough. Now, please, PLEASE, stop making fun of his height. We get it.
