How did Sami unJUST himself after years of being dimeless? He's killing it.

Basically this.
He took over booking himself.

Backstage respects him as a genius mind on the business, and hes the top talent in the company, so they have him freedom

Sami probably gave cesaro his best matches too.

Its a shame, Daniel bryan and Sami Zayn met at WrestleMania twice.. arguably the two most talented performers of all time.. but didnt really get to have a real wrestling match

I always remember how he put over lashley into the main event scene.

Lashleys was doing his good boy shit and the crowd refused to give a shit about him, it was as quiet as a graveyard, Sami basically yelled at the crowd into paying attention and eventually took that dead angle and gave it life. Was that the lashleys sisters gimic?

Wasn't he in the dog house for months on end? Granted I haven't watched consistently in 6 years but I kept seeing dirtsheets that said he was hated backstage cause of his politics and people wanted him gone.

The most impressive thing about zayn is the fact that he's one of the very best in the world at playing the pure white meat babyface, that dude can garner sympathy from a crowd like nobody else, and yet here he managed to turn into an effective smarmy heel that gets legitimate boos without crossing into either go-away heat territory or wink nudge cool badass faggotry. That is some roddy piper tier shit, i haven't seen anybody else do it so well in these last few years. He figured out a way to extend his career by 10+ years despite being sawdusted through the virtue of having acute awareness of how wrestling works. Love this ginger nigga like you wouldn't believe.

Triple Paul listened to Sami's ideas and worked his own shit along with Sami's suggestions, highlighting the talent Sami has instead of masking it.
That's generally the best way to handle a wrestler, Vince was lazy and booked/created his own shit in his own way (veteran draws like Brock had more freedom to tell Vince what to do)

Complete idiot.
Sami has always been an undisputed top talent. Now he is The undisputed top talent.

How badly WWE creative handles talent is the well know biggest problem with WWE.
In recent years, WWE accepted that Sami is smarter than the whole creative team.
Not rocker science.
