If “used right” means “win all the time” then it’s impossible for everyone to be used right. Don't worry. It doesn't.

I actually know the real answer to this question!! I am friends with Eric Young, have been since we were kids. He came home last Christmas and got together will all of us and he talked about his WWE run so far. He said that Vince had no idea who or what Sanity was. Vince said to Hunter, "I want some NXT guys" and Hunter tried to explain to Vince about the Sanity group. Vince finally said, "whatever, just bring them up." So they came up and Vince liked it at first. But then something happened. "Sanity lost our push because Shinsuke Nakamura got bit by a dog." - Eric Young So on Smackdown, Shinsuke vs. Jeff Hardy was gonna happen, but they brought in bomb sniffing dogs before the event, and a dog came up to Shinsuke and bit his ankle, thus he couldn't wrestle cause he needed stitches. Vince said, "who could Jeff Hardy wrestle tonight??" and Road Dogg said, "Eric Young. He wrestled Jeff when we were in TNA." So Sanity was set to wrestle the Usos that night and beat them, but because of the match happening of Jeff vs. EY, it ended up being a singles match turned into a 6 man tag, and Sanity lost to Jeff Hardy and the Usos. Vince then soured on them and got bored. Triple H tried to push them to Vince for ever, but Vince just wasn't having it. So as EY told me and everyone else that night.... "no matter what goes wrong with your life for now on, you can just trace it back to the night Shinsuke Nakamura got bit by a dog." Also, man that dog was racist.

I blame Road Dogg. He barely gave them TV time and as a result they completely wasted away. Had they gone to Raw they may have been more successful. Didn't they get a push at first, beating New Day and the such, and then the push just stopped? I guess there was no rhyme or reason much like EC3's mysterious burial or Buddy Murphy just going back to the midcard after beating Daniel Bryan? Don't even get me started on Alestar Black's misuse!Hey it’s not their fault! Nobody’s knocking on his door to pick a fight. But I did start a modern universe on wwe 2K20 and he won the intercontinental championship at the MitB PPV.

That’s a relief. So who is used right? Took a while lol Saying that "being used right" means having a character with unique, defining attributes, getting tv time via vignettes or promos to build your character, and having long-term goals while avoiding the toll of week-after-week meaningless matches that often result in 50/50 results, there's not a lot. Just thinking about it, Randy Orton is one of the better examples. He is working a lighter schedule that helps his appearances feel special, which helps building up his "outta nowhere" gimmick. Plus he's working the Angle of the grizzled vet defending his spot against the up-and-comers seeking to dethrone him. Daniel Bryan is another one. I felt he didn't get to fully play out his heel run with him missing time between Mania and the Spring Saudi show, but I'd much rather see him in his position as SD's #2 face than the #1 heel at the moment. Maybe with a possible IC Title run he can build up its credibility a bit. A surprising choice if anyone knows me, but Roman Reigns. Sure he's still the A. #1 top face of the company. Sure he remains a focal point of Smackdown. But keeping him away from the World Championship picture has helped his standing with some of his most vocal detractors. Though it won't be too much longer with the Fiend that the belt finds its way back to him. Aleister Black and Andrade are pretty close. Black has delivered in his promos but he needs a big challenge to really sell it to the audience. On the flip side, "Cien" has shown a ton of talent but has lacked substance, not even utilizing Vega to the best of her abilities.

Probably because once they lost clean, that was it.

Sanity was a great faction in NXT. But like some of their fellow NXT acts that have moved up? They flopped on the main roster due to lack of interest from Vince.

Who'd have guessed that after the split, Eric Young would be doing by far the worst of the 4? That's really sad. If they brought his goofy character from TNA to WWE, he would be a fun. I miss him putting referees and strangers on holds lol
