4. How Can ZZ Be Successful in WWE?
ZZ is a likable guy. That’s going to take him a long way, but you can’t reach raw talent. ZZ has a personality, but it’s not a persona that can translate into being “King of the Reptiles” and get him over in the same breath as John Cena, Cesaro or anyone on NXT with a solid character.
WWE signed ZZ because he was so likable, and it’s a feel good story for the fans. A lot of people would have noticed if ZZ hadn’t gotten a deal and they gave away four others to other contestants. It’s going to be very challenging to look like a professional wrestler, and it’s going to take a lot of work to make him a valuable WWE sports entertainer.
