8 Amazing Wrestlers That FLOPPED In WWE
3. JC Mateo
Given that JC Mateo has been on WWE television for less than six months, this may seem a little premature. However, ask yourself this question. Do you have any faith that WWE will tap into the violent magic that made the artist formerly known as Jeff Cobb so loved by wrestling fans around the planet?
Thriving as the muscle in Will Ospreay’s NJPW stable, United Empire, Cobb is a man who operates best in devastatingly brutal encounters. His glittering career has led him to holding major titles in Ring of Honor, NJPW, Lucha Underground, and PWG. A physical freak, his greatness can be found in a bone-crunching arsenal of slams, acrobatics, and suplexes that have rightfully earned him his reputation as one of the toughest SOBs on planet Earth.
Tragically, none of that has been evident on SmackDown in his current role as “the one who gets pinned” in Solo Sikoa’s MFT group. There are plenty of performers who have the chops to put on banger matches with Mateo. Whether or not WWE fans will get the opportunity to enjoy his greatness is another story altogether.
