I'm curious as to who you all view as debut killers? Now, I use the term DEBUT loosely to mean their first, major feud. And, what I'm asking for is, what wrestlers do you feel lead to momentum killing matches and angles?
In the Attitude Era, if you feuded with JR and King as your first feud, you were sunk. Tazz started off strong, and somehow found himself embroiled against King and JR. They were the debut killers. I can't think of one person to debut and start a feud with those two and made it out of lower card booking.
(honestly, I cannot remember too much about the Attitude Era, so it may not be the best example. I do know JR and King feuded with a lot of debuting talent as I used to use them as an example of where you don't want to be in wwe back when I was younger).
In the Current Era, Dolph Ziggler is a debut killer. Bobby Roode's first feud was against him. Tyler Breeze's first feud. Shinsuke Nakamura's first feud. All fizzled out. I cannot think of one debuting guy who feuded with Ziggler who was elevated. Now, if you face Cesaro, you seem to be able to show classic matches, get some momentum, and then it's up to the crowd to accept you. But, for odd reason, if you face Ziggler when you're just starting to become known to the WWE universe, you're forgotten about once it's over. Momentum is killed completely.
