Daniel Bryan has been extremely lucky. Before he won the US Title I really didn't have any hope for him, but there was obviously someone backstage rooting for the guy who gave him that chance. As soon as he won and showed what he could do with guys like the Miz and Ziggler, people started to notice. He was lucky to have a decent feud with the Big Show, who was on top form as a monster face at the time. He was then lucky to be paired with the up-and-coming AJ. He was lucky his catchphrase caught on, and he's now lucky to be in this top spot with Kane.
I'm not degrading his abilities or character, he's worked hard and improved his mic skills and charisma to levels I didn't think were possible; but in terms of using him as a benchmark for what other indy guys can do, I don't think it's comparable. Bryan has had a tonne of breaks in his favour. Generico doesn't have the look or the fanbase to the extent Punk or Bryan did. Let's not forget that those two were "the guys" in the independents along with Joe for years. Generico is a top guy, but he's not "the guy" - he doesn't have the same level of passionate support from the smark world or IWC. He's immensely talented and entertaining, but you won't get anywhere on those things alone. |

WWE will repackage him and he'll prob end up be a comedy character and then get future endeavored in a year. Best case scenario is that he ends up like the eternal buffoon Santino Marella and has a long run being a retard.

It's kinda weird to think that the WWE roster in 2013 could include CM Punk, Bryan Danielson, Tyler Black, Jon Moxley, Brodie Lee, El Generico, Claudio Castagnoli, Chris Hero, Matt Sydal, PAC, Mistico, and Paul Heyman.
That reads like one of those EWR games where you just raid the indies right away. Or Gertner's worst nightmare. |

Comparing him to Rollins and Ambrose who have been called up as part of one of the biggest angles of last year, against the biggest rising name in the company and as part of the hottest stable is also a fallacy of logic. I guarantee Generico won't be given the same opportunity as those two. I just don't think he'll make it. He might not even get out of FCW, and if he does, it won't be for long. |

At least with all these new little Oompa Loompas getting signed, Hornswoggle will have some competition.

I've not seen a whole lot from El Generico but I have came across some of his matches and promos in the past and I can see what mike adamle is talking about and I pretty much agree with him.
I can imagine Generico being heavily used on Saturday Morning Slam or being in a comedic tag team with Santino. That's only if the WWE keep the El Generico character, which I'm pretty sure they will. Other than that, I can't really imagine him amounting to anything else in the WWE. If he was to be a champion, it would most likely be Tag Team Champion with Santino, but that's it. |

Don't know much about him, but no way the WWE lets him keep his current character. I believe CM Punk will be the last to do that.

I don't think it's about WWE letting him keep it. It's about Generico signing the name over to WWE. Which I don't think he's dumb enough not to do, this is as big as he could possibly get, this is the most he could get out of the character. And the character and how he plays the character is the reason WWE is signing him.

I have never seen a match so I'm kind of disappointed that nobody has posted any. Off to YouTube to form my own opinion.

Again, not main event scene stuff, but that most likely isn't why they're bringing him in.

Sami Callihan is some small emo faggot who has really good rasslin' matches. Him and Dean Ambrose are about the only 2 good things CZW has ever produced.

This guy sucks? While I haven't watched a full match yet I would say that I'm impressed with his move set. He is using some old standards, modifying classic moves to fit his style and most importantly he has some pretty original and innovative stuff. Moving on to watching a full match and will post it later with thoughts. |

Necro is the most talented death match wrestler they've ever produced, but he had as much glory as he's gonna get. He was an alright brawler, but that's about all he could do when you didn't give him weapons.

He is a self admitted hack job (necro). No training and really no skill other than his ability to absorb pain.

You ever notice wrestling fans seem to be fairly unique in the notion that they can someone convert anyone or everyone simply by listing matches like they will somehow change your world?

Best thing that happened to Bryan in WWE was losing in 18 seconds to Sheamus and the following RAW where everyone came out in support.
From there the "yes yes yes ---- oooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh" stuff really exploded. Generico on the other hand, can be a great asset. he seems to be in slow mo in the air which is great. He may not be "THE" guy, but not every single wrestler can be I guess. I am all for roster diversification, it keeps things fresh. |

I kinda figured El Generico would be the one to take the ROH World title off of Kevin Steen, I wonder who's gonna do that. Jay Lethal maybe?

Really think they signed him to pair him up with Brodus Clay the more I think about it, Just fits him and Kevin Steen so perfectly.
