When Wrestling Companies REFUSED To Pull The Trigger

Show Notes

fter LA Knight's loss to Roman Reigns at WWE Money in the Bank, Shaz, Morro and The Beast head to the Gorilla Room to discuss one of wrestling's biggest frustrations: when companies fail to capitalise on a wrestler getting over with the fans.

Wrestling fans will put up with a lot, but when a wrestler gets a huge reaction and the promotion refuses to pull the trigger, patience eventually runs out. From Stone Cold Steve Austin and Rob Van Dam to Monty Brown and LA Knight, the lads look at the missed opportunities, questionable booking decisions and moments when WWE, WCW and TNA could have made a star but failed to seize the opportunity. Who deserved a bigger push?

Which companies got it wrong? And which missed opportunity still annoys you? Let us know in the comments and join the WFWS Discord: https://discord.com/invite/rdBk3d4aH Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
