This is going to be a thread where we can post bone-headed decisions to stop pushes & or not using guys at all. I've got a couple. So let's start with:
In an interview with Mike Johnson of PWInsider, EC3 was asked about what went wrong during his time on the WWE main roster:
"I wish I knew, to be honest. I don't know. I was at the point where I thought I was brought up with an intention and a purpose. So I made the mistake of trusting the process instead of being the squeaky wheel that gets the grease. I remember I think, 'Hey, I think we're turning you heel.' I'm like, 'Oh, thank God I'm such a better heel and I don't do flashy things, and I can really talk... Man, yeah, turn me heel and get me on the microphone right away. Let's go.' But that didn't ever happen. So I found myself by trusting others would be one thing. I think they were mad at Dean for choosing to free himself as well. Whether that's right or wrong, that's their business. But we were working live events, having good matches, but obviously he was being cheered, because he's a notable name and everyone loves him, and I was being booed, because I was going against the guy who just told the company, 'Hey, see you,' and was a hero to them. Also, he has a stellar body of work with the company. They've been watching him for years. He killed himself countless times for their entertainment. Of course they're going to cheer them and boo me. A lot of the matches, they were pretty run-of-the-mill, babyface vs. heel, baby face and whatever, but on the last night, I vividly remember Dean, he was like, 'Let's just switch it.' 'Yeah, all right.' Then I started turning it up as a hero, and he started fighting from underneath, babyface, and then I cheated to win. It was great. They were getting me what I always wanted, the response is like, 'Oh, shove the babyface down his throat, but we actually don't like him.' Sort of the boo Cena kind of thing. I'm like, 'Holy hell, if I fall into that, I'm money.' But instead, turned I heel, and he went on to finish, and I went into obscurity."
