Or you pretty much have no retort because an obsession over a few extra wins means jack shit. "If only he had three more wins between now and September, he'd be getting properly used!"

And they'd likely all be against R-Truth with maybe a win stolen from an upper carder. How would that advance Almas in terms of story necessary to jump into relevancy? Winning matches becomes this weird obsession where it becomes more important than the booking itself. Johnny Gargano lost a shit ton of matches in 2018 and he's still the most compelling thing going in NXT.

Is this really the argument? When everyone else in this topic agrees with me, I just have no retort? Not that I wasn't trying to get on my bus so I can go home, but that I don't have an answer to your impeccable wit?

Like Lopen said, there's no story about it. Andrade is just a jobber. That's all he is. He rarely ever wins and it means nothing when he wins and nothing when he loses.

How is baseless speculation any better? He was called up because there was literally nothing left for him in NXT and he's not getting the Ty Dilligenr treatment. I'd rather them keep him lowkey instead of pulling a Bayley and slapping a title on him too soon (especially since the only midcard title on Smackdown has been the KoD lately) or a pointless Bo Dallas style winning streak.

And he is literally an example of "don't obsess over early booking of a character" when he was dancing to the ring in suspenders and a fedora.

Nothing left for him in NXT? He could have kept the title for a while yet. He could be feuding with someone else. He could have done anything. He's now on Smackdown where, like I said before, when they first debuted him they did nothing with him for weeks, despite saying he'd have his debut next week for many weeks, and then it's against a local jobber. Then they say him and Sin Cara are going to have a match next week, and a month later they eventually get around to it. So clearly they had NO IDEA what to do with the dude the second they debuted him.

Hey, here's what I'd rather have Andrade Almas doing. I'd rather him being in interesting programs with different wrestlers. He doesn't need a title and he doesn't need a winning streak. He just needs a storyline that isn't a two-week program that is week 1: have match with male; week 2: lose tag match with male and female.

And it's been reported that Vince has cooled down on Andrade, which more than likely means he thinks he couldn't get over. So hardly baseless speculation.

Like Rusev is literally the midcard champ right now.

Going by your logic, we can all say that it's a good thing that all of Rusev's heat with Rusev Day was totally squandered for the better part of six months so that now, eight months later, he has a title in a feud with no heat. Finally, with the benefit of hindsight, we can say it wasn't that Rusev was just poorly used this whole time!
