Bill Apter names two WWE superstars who "did not live up to the announcer's hype" (Exclusive)

Veteran journalist Bill Apter believes that two WWE Superstars have not been able to stay on top of their game as much as they were advertised. According to him, this has led to these two names dropping off in terms of prominence.

The two stars are Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa. While the entry of these two names a while back was very impactful, their killer attitude and presentation have somewhat been marred by several losses. As such, they do not appear to be as dominant as previously shown to be.

Speaking on Sportskeeda's UnSKripted this week, Bill Apter talked about the two Bloodine recruits. According to him, Jacob Fatu has done a much better job in what little time he has been given in WWE so far.

"As soon as I saw them, they didn't have that killer look. They are smaller than I thought they, that I have seen when I watched videos of them in Japan, they seem smaller... They didn't live up to the announcer's hype as those killers. This guy [Jacob Fatu] came in where it was believable." [18:23 onwards]

Although Shubhajit admires numerous pro wrestlers, his current favorite is WWE superstar Drew McIntyre. He is fond of The Scottish Warrior’s character work and innovative quips.

If there is one storyline he can work on in WWE, Shubhajit would book Roman Reigns’ future with The Bloodline following WrestleMania XL, where he lost to Cody Rhodes. He would have Reigns’ stablemates excommunicate him, laying the foundation for a gimmick change for the former. After Reigns’ exit from the faction, Shubhajit would portray him as an anti-hero trying hard to claw his way back up to the top.
