Some people have come in booked strong (LEsnar, Tazz, etc.), but these guys weren't big because they were booked strong.But the major standing point is that he's gotten so much more exposure, more chances to get a reaction or do something impressive than most will EVER get. To say he has potential, but hasn't been given a chance is just ridiculous to me. |

Two things that Masters hasn't done. That's like saying Edge and Christian were only over because of the Conchairto, though they had gotten responses before that had become one of their finisher. In short, if you ignore all the reaction they had gotten before they were established through TLC matches and the like, you're absolutely right. ![]() They got bigger through garbage wrestling and spots, but they had some sort of support under them before that. So yeah. Go back to ignoring all the people who got successful without needing to be pushed to the moon forcibly (The ones PH mentioned, among others), and pretend that he can be saved simply on the grounds that people can't get big without a feud with main eventers. |

Nooo, I've said in other threads, if not in here, that I think he does good mic work. That bit with Michaels was good, not JUST because of Michaels, but because of Masters as well. Also, in the ring, as a brawler, I think he's pretty decent.
I see Masters as the jock type bully dude in high school that everybody hated, but he thought he was the shit. I knew a dude that Masters reminds me of so much it's ridiculous. I really do think he's doing good work right now. Moreso on the mic than in the ring, yes, but good work regardless. |

I think you may be onto something AT. Going back a few threads. A couple other people with a similar type of gimmick as Masters. Dino Bravo Rick Rude (hell all he did was get women to take off his towel) |

Also, again I resent the fact that the people who don't like Masters are being made out to just be blindly negative. I go out of my way to point out stuff that I like about the WWE. And like AT, I've been a fan for life and that's not changing. But I've also watched enough wrestling to be able to have na educated opinion on whether or not a young guy hsa the potential to be a great performer someday.
I just don't see it in Masters. Period. |

Here, let's try it this way...
Who do you think does better mic work...The Hurricane or Chris Masters? |

Shelton's been botching a lot in the past couple months himself, but he's still awesome, ya?

It's like Simon Dean, with an average body, saying he has all the keys to fitness. Good heel material, IMO.

Obviously out of all of the people on the roster, Simon Dean isn't the most "in shape". That's how I figured the character was structed, anyway. People would resent him for calling them 'fat losers' and such, but he's not in any phenomonal shape himself. The hypocracy alone is enough to make people want to boo him.
It's the same deal with Masters calling himself "The Masterpiece" in a sense. Thinking he's flawless and whatnot. |

Yes, Masters is ironic in that he's a cowardly bully. Very good. And yet he can't get the reaction Simon Dean does, so your logic falls apart even if you're correct on Dean. Wait. I know. Teaming with Maven is what put Dean over. You know, since Maven was such a huge star... If the hypocrisy was all it took, then Masters'd be able to get a reaction at LEAST comparable to Dean. Especially since he's also the evil jock bully type. Instead, you get about the same reaction as a Con-Man match... |

You don't think Masters gets a bigger reaction than Simon Dean? Seriously?

I beg to differ, but OK. Too bad there isn't a reaction gauge.

How the hell did this get to 7 pages? Never mind.
So people see a comparasion between the Hardyz and Masters. Dear god in heaven that's tough to type in the same sentence. But there is a vaild corrolation between Masters and the Hardyz. The corrolation is the same one Kane Knight pointed out. Exposure. Now granted this is 2 guys getting exposure during a time when tag team wrestling was hot hot hot but singles wrestling has always been hot. So Masters should be able to make this gimmick work. He gets a great debut package, alot better than most wrestlers mind you, is literally spoonfed the greatest and easiest heel gimmick that was ever written. He's given tons of exposure, and I do mean tons. But what has he done with all this exposure? What makes him suck so badly when the Hardyz had just as much exposure? A fued. He hasn't fueded with anyone. Not one single person wants to (rightfully) get into the ring with this guy when he botches the simplest of moves. Even Lita can sit on an announce table and not botch it. When you don't have a single fued to work off and all you've got is this dumb ass Masterlock chalenge, of course the fans won't react to you. Dear god I want someone, anyone, to break the damn Masterlock. It's the dumbest finisher of all time and the fact that they keep doing that one arm drops and it's over shit is the dumbest thing ever. Just have someone like the Big Show break it so he can move on into a fued or get dropped down into OVW where he can get some chops and some better timing. And as I am one of the "Masterhaters", I don't see any potential in the current character. Notice I say character. As a person, Masters seems to be ok but he's just not been given anything good or worthwhile to do. That's why he really sucks. And that's why we'll always hate him. |
