15 Wrestlers we MIGHT never see in the WWE

#11 The Briscoes

So...apparently this is the wrong image for WWE’s fans...makes total sense, right?

The Briscoes are considered one of the best tag teams on the independent scene and have been one of ROH’s most prolific acts for years. They have had some excellent tag team match over the years, and with WWE appearing to be placing a greater emphasis on tag teams nowadays, the Briscoes would, in theory, fit right in with WWE’s other tag teams.

However, if WWE were interested in signing the Briscoes, they would’ve done so in 2009, when they had a tryout in WWE’s then-developmental territory, Florida Championship Wrestling. After that match, WWE turned down an offer to join WWE’s roster full-time.

The reason for this rejection came down to the fact that WWE officials didn’t find the Briscoes ‘cosmetically-pleasing’ for their programming. In other words, they felt that the Briscoes looked either too unkempt or too ‘mature’ for their shows, which tend to be geared towards children over all other demographics.

Mind you, I attended ROH shows live, and there were young children at these shows, and one of them even got to high-five the Briscoes as they passed by. That kid couldn’t have been more than ten, and he was enjoying the Briscoes as much as the other adults and I were.

So either WWE's logic is misplaced in this case, or they believe very much in the notion that everything on television needs to be sanitized and clean before it's presented to an overly-sensitive audience.
