hot take: Hunter is a good booker but a very mid GM when it comes to free agency

I mean I don’t really straight up disagree with anyone he’s brought back other than Nia and possibly Hit Row.

its not really disagreeing with the talent themselves, more that a lot of it was uneeded and they are not really doing much since getting there. I def dont think they all need to be homeruns but sometimes it feels he just brought back everyone vince canned but never tried to really get any non wwe free agent. outside of like dragon lee n he sticking him in nxt

 

[Comrade Khan]

I could name a few others too, but I dont wanna be mean/start a mark war

But at the same time… if they should’ve never been fired in the first place then there was no issue with bringing them back lol. At the end of the day you’re not going to always have a huge spot for everyone on the roster but it’s nice to have some depth so you can tap into it when you need to.

well id argue the roster was def too big and is too big again. I think he could have spread out the hires for one, like after mania when there is time to feature them for example.

and I'll just say it, Kross is looking like a huge bust

 

[Comrade Khan]

the good news is : Regal is back and he's a better eye for talent imo

I think he's brought people back largely to put others over and fill out the rosters so that he can use a variety of matches rather than have the same people in matches every single week. I think there's far more rotation and it is better because of it.

I absolutely agree

Kross yeah it’s not great lol but it’s not Hunter’s fault. At least he’s trying with him unlike Vince who literally brought him to the main roster only to put him in BDSM gear. I’m glad he’s actually taking chances with people. If it doesn’t work out then he can cut him again. And like the others said, we get rotation.

 

[Jay Kong]

Everyone says BDSM gear, but it reminded me more Lord Humongous

 

[Order]

You need to have this size roster, they have five hours of TV a week to fill and it needs to feel fresh all year round.

Kross is awful but he's fine in the midcard and that's where he is.

I dread to think what would have been happening these past few months without all the re-hires to be honest
