Who are the bottom 5 guys in WWE right now?
Are there still jobbers? If so...who are they?
|
Curt Hawkins
Mike Bennett Ascension (Konnar and Viktor) The Colons (Primo and Epico) Tamina Snuka |
Baron <s>Headguy</s> Corbin
Curt "Factface" Hawkins Dolph Ziggler Mojo Rawley The Ascension (I'm counting the 2 as 1, regardless of if that's "how it works" or not.) |
Hawkins
Slater Rhyno Bennett Axel/Dallas |
Wait. Time out. Time right the hell out!
The Colons are still on the roster?!? Have they beaten JTG's employment timer? |

Pretty sure that Primo and Epico have jobs for life if they want them, and that Carlito has had an open door to return if he ever wanted to.

Yeah I'd agree with that list.
Curt Hawkins I THINK he beat Apollo Crews fairly early on in his 2016 return, and that's been it. Beyond that he's lost nearly 200 matches in a row, and the vast majority of them are happening on Main Event, house shows, or dark matches. His losing streak doesn't get mentioned on TV, which would mean they don't really intend on going anywhere with it. Mike Kanellis' entire gimmick requires Maria to be there with him, and she's only just had a baby a month ago. She won't be back from maternity leave anytime soon, if she ever comes back at all. The Ascension and The Colons have both been directionless for years, nevermind months. If we're taking the phrase "guys" literally - my #5 would be Zack Ryder who no longer serves any real purpose in the company. Any residual overness he had from his social media exploits died back in 2012, and he's just been there ever since. |

totally forgot about Tamina. It's like Nia Jax completely took over her role lol

I have to admit.....Curt Hawkins is a guilty pleasure of mine.
He's genuinely a really cool dude. Plus he's a die-hard Mets fan (hence all of his gear being blue and orange), and I'm not lost on the irony of the Mets fan losing all the time. :'( |

Who's a bottom?
Fandango, obviously. Bo Dallas, too. |
Baron Corbin as well. He likes getting ravaged by a bunch of Rockstar Spud-sized guys.
He calls it his "Gulliver's Travels". |

Tamina has been garbage for years now.... if her last name was SMith, she would have been gone many moons ago....

I wonder if Darren Young is a bottom guy

I believe he and Jinder were ostensibly brought back for the same reason - they were used to working the grueling WWE schedule and were happy to take the paycheck to live that lifestyle again and job constantly without complaint. They even got traded for each other during the Shake-Up. |
Hawkins has his own wrestling school, so he probably works a couple times a week, and teaching on his off days. Pretty sweet gig. I'm pretty sure Heath Slater does the same thing now

(Don't worry, I get what you're saying) |

But yeah, his employment seems to be a symptom of the roster split. |
Hawkins and Ryder are still best buds and have been since primary school, so it's odd to me that they've never been thrown back together as a team all these years later. In fact I think they just recently had a match on Main Event because they were in Long Island.

I've got next to no interest in either, but I could see them being put together as a babyface "feel-good" tag team. Curt will get a win with his best bud, Zack Ryder will be made out to still be popular, and they can have feuds and matches with The Dungeon Masters and The Quebec Agreement. |

Seems like in both cases WWE was like "oh no, we're not going through this shit again". |
Revival are really Bottom 5 Guys #Topguys

I however like that they are a functional "mechanic team" that doesn't need a goofy gimmick. Yes it makes them boring and they won't be over like they were in NXT, but it also allows them to win matches here and there and not have the fluke feeling like when Ascension or the Colons randomly win a match. |

I remember Tyler Reks randomly winning a spot on Team SmackDown for Bragging Rights. After he hadn't been on screen since WWECW ended. That was weird.

Hawkins and Reks were my favourite tag team for like a year and a half |

I mean, I get they were a package deal, and WWE was so thirsty for her to come back... and in keeping with "The Kingdom", they have been after Adam Cole (Bay Bay) forever. Bennett has pretty much always been the afterthought in that equation. Seems like it is just a reverse Marc Mero/Sable deal. They obviously had no plans for the man, they just wanted her , and I feel kinda bad for him. Well, I give as much sympathy as I can for someone who is getting a sizeable paycheck deserves (even though they don't even really have the need for her anymore - they barely can sustain use of the arm charms they have right now. See: Lana... they've temporarily let Zelina do this gimmick right. For now. Let's see how long this lasts... digressing...). You know what I mean. They could at least *try* to do something with the guy. They might end up with something they unexpectedly like in the long run. |
:nono: As for Primo... my god. He has JTG beat by 3 years! Talk about wasted talent they aren't doing squat with. Man. :nono:

Seems like a deeply personal and private question.

Any change?

Not really. Not much changes.
