>>16034172I'd like to counter one point
>If you weren't in WWE you don't matterThis is just one piece of a problem, the other is Tony gives pushes largely to those who personally entertain him some way
Daniel Garcia? He amused Tony with his shitty dance
MJF? His heel schtick and dedication to kayfabe amuses Tony, otherwise he'd never have given him a push to the moon since we see how he treats the other Cody hires
Orange Cassidy? That answers itself
I could go on and on, you also have to factor in how Tony is a huge mark for ROH/PWG/Japanese workrate/spotfest wrestling which only really appeals to a select niche.
