So, when is Jason Jordan going to get the rocket put on him?

This isn't a thread to criticize Jason Jordan, I'm a fan and believe he has it all to become a top guy.

What I don't understand is how they've booked him. He has everything Vince would love in a top guy yet they've booked him like an afterthought, if Vince saw something in him and had plans for him, they would have protected him a lot more.

With AA failing badly to get going in the SD division, is it time they break up American Alpha and work on developing both as singles stars? Yeah, I know it will hurt the division but they can bring in DIY to replace them. At the moment, they're weak top babyfaces of the division.

IMO, he would have been the perfect Orton for HHH's rumored faction.

Not EVERYTHING. You know what I mean. :HHH2

Regardless, I've never seen an ounce of personality in him, like the previous poster said. He may be a good wrestler but we have plenty of those, if that's all he's got, we don't need him in the main event.

They'll have to be careful how they handle him and the break-up from Chad.

Chad is the better overall talent in almost every way IMO, better wrestling, more charismatic and better on the stick. But, that doesn't matter. JJ has the look, a great look. I don't mind, I'm a big fan of JJ and while I don't he's as talented as Chad, he's certainly talented in his own way and is a great wrestler that is very athletic. What I mean is, if Chad gets booked like Ambrose and JJ gets booked like Roman post-Shield break up, this is going to cause a lot of resentment from smarks (regardless of the fact that JJ is a great wrestler and Reigns , well not so much ).

They're both shit on the stick and have about the same level of charisma, with Gable probably being more comfortable expressing himself due to the sheer fact he's a tad older.

It's nothing that makes him insanely better than Jordan or more deserving of a push. People hyperinflated the tag team and their skills immensely.

Rocket pushes are awful. Build them properly as a team like they were built in NXT and then slowly build both up the card instead of strapping a rocket on someone. Slow build would be good for Jordan. Both members can easily be a solid part of the roster but first rebuild the tag division and use them properly.

Wouldn't mind hearing him cut an actual promo.

He doesn't really have any character. I liked how him and Gable got together in NXT but obviously they can't run it like that on the main roster.

I wouldn't actually mind them being booked competently by the company for once. Then in a few years, perhaps have them lose an important match with Gable turning on Jordan, saying how he's an Olympian and deserves better. Gable could do really well as a snotty heel who just dominates with his ring ability, he's great on the mic too.

It's very likely JJ will get a pretty big push as soon as he splits from Chad, he's got a great look and is good in the ring, gradually getting better on the mic too.

It's just a shame that the main roster has absolutely butchered both him and Gable, as both of them were extremely entertaining and had a chance to express character in NXT, as well as being assisted by more well rehearsed matches (Though AA's matches with Usos have been great, just the build to them has been non existent), they developed extremely well down there but have came to a standstill so far.

They both have potential as singles guys, as Gable is especially charismatic despite his smaller size, but JJ is definitely likely to get a bigger push out of the two.

Well, him being as bland as a patch of grass probably has something to do with it.

Also, having "the look" also means there has to be some sort of "ruggedness" to it, like guys like Orton and Reigns....Jason Jordan looks like a smiling jackass who can't stop smiling because his central nervous system is fucked up.

I don't know which is which, but the black one is the only one of the two that I think could make it by himself. The long haired white dude might have less charisma than anyone else on the roster.
