I know, I know...."he's got two hands, he's got a chance!" "He's the fans’ favourite underdog..." and then there are even some who compare this hack to Daniel Bryan. THAT'S where I draw the line! Sorry, folks, I honestly hate to be the bearer of bad news, but James Ellsworth is no Daniel Bryan.
I can't even put those two in the same sentence with a straight face. Guys, Ellsworth was a good dose of comic relief, but his welcome has been worn out now.

The fact that James actually holds wins over AJ Styles, is enough to make me sick. I feel as if Ellsworth has been nothing more than a black eye on the Smackdown brand.
Maybe there's a place for him in a Rosebud-type of situation, or maybe he can help stack chairs after the shows, or some other manual labour assignment as such. But, this guy should have never been given this much TV time. If he makes it to the next "black Friday," he should be one of the, if not THE first name on the board.
Sayonara, Mr. Ellsworth.

About the author
J. Carpenter
Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
