It may come as a surprise to some but Drew Gulak is a former world champion having won
the CZW World Heavyweight Championship during his 11-year stint with Combat Zone Wrestling.
When Gulak eventually signed for the WWE, he made it his mission to create a better
205 Live and that was achieved using his 277 slide PowerPoint presentation…
On the main roster, Gulak joined forces with Daniel Bryan which made for some great entertainment despite
Gulak looking like he was in Bryan’s shadow…
As of now, Gulak has been relegated to fighting for the 24/7 championship,
not that it’s a bad thing but he went from being a serious
competitor with Daniel Bryan to basically a laughing stock… Well, at least he used
the skills he learnt with his time with Daniel Bryan…
Or maybe not!
Since making his return to the WWE, John Morrison has become a comedy act, essentially acting
as The Miz’s sidekick…
There’s no denying what an incredible athlete Morrison is and
it’s a shame to see that being wasted in the WWE.
After all, it’s his amazing talent
which won him 4 world championships across 4 different promotions, that being the ECW
World Heavyweight championship, the AAA Mega championship, the Impact World championship
and the Lucha Underground championship. Morrison, in particular, found great success in Lucha
Libre AAA Worldwide becoming the promotion’s first ever triple champion, holding the AAA
Mega, Latin American and World Cruiserweight championships simultaneously.
Samoa Joe is no doubt world champion material. He has built up a reputation for hurting people
and is afraid of no-one…
It’s his dangerous reputation that has won him world championships
across various promotions including Ring of Honor and Impact Wrestling as well as being
an Impact Grand Slam champion, one of only 5 men to achieve this. But in the WWE, specifically
on the main roster, Samoa Joe hasn’t been used anywhere near his full potential...
...and constant injuries aren’t doing him any favours. Although he has competed in numerous world
championship matches against Brock Lesnar, Kofi Kingston and who could forget AJ Styles…
Samoa Joe has come up short every single time. Despite Joe absolutely killing it on commentary
as of late, let’s hope we see him back in the ring and with a world title around his waist.
Believe it or not but 3 years since making his main roster debut in the WWE, Robert Roode
competed in his very first world title opportunity against Drew McIntyre after returning from
a 6-month hiatus. This is shocking because in TNA (now known as Impact Wrestling), Roode
is a 2-time world champion with his first reign being the longest reign in the company’s
history at 256 days. He went from feuding with big names such as: AJ Styles, Jeff Hardy
and Sting in TNA…
to feuding with Mojo Rawley in the WWE…
The last two years has seen
Roode mostly competing in tag team wrestling, aligning himself with Chad Gable and now Dolph
Ziggler although his SmackDown days did see him win the United States championship but
let’s be honest, it was a short and forgettable run...
It’s crazy to see the difference of Eric Young in Impact Wrestling compared to the
WWE… In Impact Wrestling, Eric Young is a decorated champion having won the world
title twice as well as being one of five Impact Grand Slam champions like Samoa Joe. But in
the WWE, it’s a whole other story as Young was nothing more than a jobber… Whether
it was leading SAnitY or scrambling for the 24/7 championship, Eric Young achieved absolutely
nothing during his time on the main roster in the WWE. I mean you know it’s bad when
the most TV time you’ve had ends up with you getting the absolute living sh*t beaten
out of you…
