He got injured in his big match. Vince is unforgiving with guys who blow their spots, even if it’s not their fault.

poor guy is just good looking enough to be a big star but when you're used like a fucking dummy and a joke well nobody will ever believe in you. not as entertaining on the stick as Daniel Bryan but he should have gotten a short run with the WWE title.

One of the most forgettable champion reigns of the 2010s, right there with Dean Ambrose and Bray Wyatt, Kevin Owens himself isn't a shitter though, if they run out of options in the future and decide to put the belt back on him, I'm confident he will do much better.

This, he sold a shit ton of merch in developmental and I think was even topping the entire company. Gotch said his salary was in the six figures solely because of his merch sales.
>>9719128
Because ultimately Finn isn't the guy. His demon stuff has always been bad and it worked in NXT purely because it was developmental. His mic skills were average at best and people have moved on.

Finn is actually a Undercarder type of guy or a Benoit type of guy depending of his gimmick, and the face of the company is the opposite of both styles

It has. The one time that I actually somewhat enjoyed that persona was his unique take on it during the London Takeover, but that was it.
Remember that time when he did it for the first time on non-developmental?

Only 8 people have ever had a reign with it. Yet it's somehow consistently booked worse than the WWE Championship

Yeah, I always thought he was a midcarder/upper midcarder at best, the kind of guy who'll get a title shot here and there, win the US/IC belt a bunch of times and win the WWE championship once or twice but he doesn't have the looks or the charisma to be the face of the company

I think Finn himself doesn't really care all that much about being the face of the company, he's done his best work in the indies. WWE definitely felt like "fun and money" for him.
