Top 10 NXT call-ups who failed on the main roster

#6 Apollo Crews

See that smile? There's his character.

Apollo Crews can do some pretty incredible things in the ring. He's a 240 lb. wall of muscle that can lift people over his head and deliver standing Shooting Star Presses within the same sequence. His biggest issue, however, is that he never got to establish a persona.

In NXT, Crews was impressive from an in-ring perspective, but he didn't seem to have a purpose. On top of this, he was given the same treatment as guys like Kassius Ohno; guys with a proven track record on the indies but were still neglected in favor of those that WWE considered more marketable. Still, they skyrocketed Crews to the main roster before he had a chance to really connect with the fans.

Of course, Crews' lack of direction doomed him to a series of forgettable matches. He's been bounced back and forth between brands, he's lost feuds to other directionless superstars such as Dolph Ziggler, and now he's in Titus Worldwide. And as we all know, pretty much anything Titus O'Neil touches turns to garbage, so he still has yet to do anything truly interesting.

I really hope that Apollo Crews isn't doomed to this sort of booking forever. He is immensely talented and he has a great look, but his lack of a discernible personality has not done him any favors on the main roster. Hopefully, he can really find himself.
