Not comparing them to the outsiders, but these should have been way bigger game changers but the booking and the rest of the roster fucked it up.
Punk and Danielson got over despite WWE's best effort. Their fans should have all flocked over to see them finally stick it to WWE.
Cole was the top guy on NXT during the Wednesday night wars, and he straight up jumped sides.
But then when people tuned in they saw the champion quoting Steve Urkel to no reaction, and then doing it again cause he thought it was such a great line. They saw that same champion dress up like a ghostbuster and use the plastic toy as a weapon. They saw a bunch of legit UFC heavy weights get treated as comedy bad guys. They saw countless thigh slapping, and guys bumping off missed dives. They saw blading on camera.
It was just to much shit for them to sit through to see their favorite WWE superstars.
