Part of the problem with WWE these days, and for most of the last decade really, is that they only see the top guys as stars. If you look at their boom periods especially, but even down times like the New Generation, they treated everyone like a star no matter where they were on the card. The commentators even acted like jobbers were real competition.
Not everyone can be world champion, and that's ok. It's impossible to say if Gable will be that big a star or not. But he has all the tools to do very well for them if they let him.
Make tag teams matter, make the secondary belts matter, and stop having the commentators make fun of anyone. You'd be surprised how much that would help the whole show. It's not the only issue, but still.

The name Gable screams wrestling. Not sports entertainment. That must be why.

that. Gable is awesome, and legit. Seems like a great fit for a future NXT Champion and likely a very strong US and Tag Team guy on the main roster someday. If he gets held down from the main event, so be it. I've seen the same sh*t with Ziggler for years now. Doesn't make me any less of a fan. We heard the same garbage with Bryan too. Guess what, former WM headliner and WWE Champion. If WWE was worried more about who gets over organically and less about them fitting some idiotic Roman Reigns mold they'd be in a lot better place. I mean sufferin succotash people. This guy right here is ready... willing, and Gable!

Too small? Sounds like a knock on another American Olympian...

He is so damn good. WWE needs to get over their look preferences......guys like Punk, Bryan, Rollins, Owens, Ambrose have been the most over guys on the roster over the past few years and none of them fit the big guy mold that Vince and Dunn love.... Chad Gable can be one of the greatest ever. He reminds me SO much of an early Angle, Lesnar, etc. He so damn good and should not be held back due to his size. The thing is at if WWE could find a good looking, tall, jacked guy who had their talent, that guy would get pushed over everyone

This is an excerpt from Dave Meltzer on the Observer Radio today. I feel that this speaks volumes in Chad Gable's case. I did a quick search of his accolades on Wikipedia and this is what I got. High School Minnesota State Wrestling Champion (2004) International Medals World University Games silver medal (2006) Pan-American Championships Gold medal (2012) Gedza International silver medal (2012) Pan-American Olympic Qualifier silver medal (2012) Granma Cup Bronze medal (2012) Dave Schultz Memorial International Gold medal (2012) Olympic Games U.S. Olympic Trials Champion (2012) This is everything that Gable accomplished in his amateur career because he's ing good at shoot wrestling and was never told that he was "too small" for it. Now more than ever, someone's stature in pro wrestling should not matter. We don't need people like Dave Batista or Roman Reigns who, no disrespect to them, the WWE choose because they're big and can be molded by the company. People like Chad Gable who show promise despite his size make this a better product.

Look,
I'm not even a huge Chad Gable fan. I like him fine. He entertains me. He seems to be very capable in the ring. I think he could have a bright future. My point is, I'm not looking at this as a huge Gable fan who may (or may not) have a biased opinion.
However, for WWE or anybody else to say _________ can't be a star because they're too small, fat, bland, etc. is just asinine.
Let the audience determine this before jumping to a conclusion and writing somebody off just because they don't look like a cookie cutter wrestler.
WWE themselves consider Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair to be the two greatest wrestlers of all time. Neither are over 6' tall and 200lbs.

Not his #1 Fan, but I sure can get behind a superstar whom backstage believes is "too little."
