Does creative just not “rate” Giulia and Jordynne Grace? Do they not “get” them as wrestlers? Does their NXT match still have anything to do with their status?
Here's the reality of the situation. If Triple H wanted either of them on the show, they'd be on the show. If TKO wanted either of them on the show, they'd be on the show. Giulia is making the most money she's ever made to be in WWE, while Jordynne Grace effectively took a pay cut by eliminating outside ventures to join WWE. Either way, they've both been miserably booked. I know Shawn Michaels wasn't happy with their NXT match, but I don't know if that carried over to the main roster.
hey Sean, what's your honest take on this whole Avery Styles story? I can kinda understand Arik Cannon being frustrated but I don't think this is something we ever hear about if Avery had just been a young indie guy that didn't have a famous dad, is Cannon just trying to get his own name out there or what?
I told a story on The Hump about a friend who had their first match in November. I've seen them work 15 hour days, do ring crew, drive talent, set up chairs, get people coffee, help finish gear, and even babysit backstage. That has led to them getting TNA tryout matches, impromptu matches, extra spots on TV, spots in PPV entrances, spots on MLW TV as extras, managerial and referee spots.
Avery Styles will never get those opportunities because of doing ring crew. He will get them because of his name, regardless of if anyone likes it or not. He was booked in GCW because of his name, he is getting attention because of his name. He works hard, he's in great shape, he's very talented, but he does get these opportunities early because of that name. Like Cody said, he also had to sacrifice not having a father around as much as others.
Arik Cannon does not need to get his name out there. He's widely respected among those in the industry
Do you know if Rey Mysterios daughter is signed 2 WWE
Yes, she is signed and listed on some internal rosters. I have no clue what they plan on actually doing with her.
