It's crazy how beloved Hunter is these days. It's easy to forget how much fans used to hate him. It all started with NXT. NXT was 🔥 w/Hunter in charge. It was the first time we saw the WWE embracing all of the Indy talent they'd be turning their nose up at for years. I likened it to when Vince raided the territories for talent. You had that same influx of experienced wrestlers with fully formed gimmicks.
As a wrestler of course you hated that son of a... But you gotta admit, even he had his crap gimmicks and periods he had to endure that could have ruined him
@@mystickfigure2068 the fact he showed up on smackdown for a segment and match with rhodes is worth more then a win. Hell up until recently when was the last time we saw nakamura win?
Kevin Nash was Vinnie Vegas, Undertaker was Mean Mark Callus, Kane was Bruno Masti(forgot the rest of the last name), these guys had some crappy ass gimmicks and had better careers later on. Gables time is coming very soon.
HHH is more in tune with these guys, Vince just got older and less interested or just needed the competition to bring out his creative juices! It is one thing when you competing with different company because they looking for that number 1️⃣ spot! But when you in competition with yourself then it just isn’t the same that threat of losing your spot just isn’t a factor anymore
At the time it was a cool character though. He was very delusional and truly believed that he wasn't Cody Rhodes. Cody did some great character work as Stardust. I like Chad Gable, but at the time his character was just him being short. Shorty G Gable is not something I'll ever be eager to go back and rewatch.
Well Hunter was Terror rizing so he gets it 😂
Terror ryzing, Jean Paul Leveque, even early days of HHH, he’s been though his fair share of bad gimmicks lol
And he was a damn maitre’d
And he's best friends with Oz. So he probably has multiple levels of PTSD there. xD
@@PJBlick Vinny Vegas too
I still remember when he "quit" the Shorty G gimmick. That was the start of his path upwards.

Hunter as a wrestler was an evil SOB, We love Paul though, LET HIM COOK

Gables gonna win that US title this year. Bet on it
He has to win a match first.

I love Shorty G! My best wrestler with Hurricane 🌀
Basically said we’re gonna give you Kurt Angles gimmick
From Shorty G to Charlie Haas
Chad gable is the new work horse of this generation....u know if u know
Either they say that you stuck it out or they turn you into a full time joke lol
Seriously, what the hell was Vince thinking?
Renaming him Shorty G was borderline cruel...
Great segment and surprise appearance from Chad and AM

No
And then he had to work with the Wyatts from Wish
And still they have Gable lose over and over and over. Smh
Another of Vince’s “brilliant” ideas.
Dashing Cody Rhodes still got it
Who had the worst gimmick of all time ?
Gobbledy Gooker's in there for a shout
Shockmaster
He should have replied, at least I was original. Not a goldust ripoff, stardust.

Shorty G was a bad gimmick. Probably even worse than Terra Ryzin, but not quite as bad as Stardust.
WWE buried him. He should have beaten Gunther and become an IC champion.
It was fine. He didn't win the title in that feud, but he came out the other end more over than he was before it. I'd call that a success.
Nah, Gunther deserves to be built upon ever more. Gable will have other chances, but currently it's Gunther's time to shine.
People using 'buried' for any loss, wth? He's still featured and will have other chances.
Would have made more sense than Sammy.
And then he re-signed only to lose all momentum and fall right back down the card.
Just had a segment with Cody, but go off.
Can we get the belt off Cody already. He’s so boring.🥱
Thank you
Delusional
