Best for Business #3: TJ Perkins didn't fit the mold of a WWE superstar

TJ Perkins might have been a big deal on the independent circuit, but he was never really cut in the mold of a WWE superstar.

While TJ Perkins is quite athletic and is one of the best technical wrestlers of his generation, he simply has too plain of an appearance and personality to make it in the WWE. Impact had similar problems with him, which is probably why they hid him under the Suicide, and then Manik, full body costumes.

Sadly, despite his talents in the ring, TJ Perkins just had a hard time getting the WWE Universe emotionally invested in his matches. Buddy Murphy and Cedric Alexander have similar skill sets, but are much better at working the crowd. His release from the WWE thus is not a mistake, but a good business decision.

There you have it; Three reasons the WWE firing TJ Perkins was a mistake, and three reasons it was best for business. Questions or comments? Please leave them below the article and thanks for reading!
