Mojo Rawley

[6.0] "Rawley came into WWE with high energy, a football background, and a catchphrase-driven persona built around staying hyped. Unfortunately, the act never evolved beyond surface-level enthusiasm. While his initial pairing with Zack Ryder as The Hype Bros gave him some visibility, Mojo never stood out as a solo performer. His in-ring work was passable but lacked finesse, and his promo style often came across as forced or overly intense without much substance behind it. There were brief attempts to repackage him with a more serious or edgy tone, including painting his face and delivering cryptic promos in front of a mirror. None of these changes ever clicked. Each reinvention felt more like an experiment than a meaningful push. WWE never fully committed to developing his character beyond gimmick tweaks, and fans never fully bought in. Despite having a strong athletic background and clear passion for the business, Mojo Rawley never found a role that played to his strengths in a lasting way. He had energy, but not the presence or skillset to rise above the lower card."

[5.0] "I decided to brush up on Mojo Rawley's performance, so I watched some of his TV matches and reached the conclusion - he wasn't that bad. Comparing with many other stars of that time Mojo wasn't the worst wrestler as people have been saying here. Mojo acted like a man who left asylum and needed some dr*gs, but I always found it funny and kind of passionate. Rawley had always had some problems with his gimmick, rather its absence. WWE would try to give him chances, but he, perhaps, was never able to cope with psychological character. People were just not ready for him, because he Rawley was always hyped, but the audience - not"

[3.0] "He's a guy that you look at and think "Oh, this guy looks great, why isn't he a bigger deal? " and then you see him wrestle. He's not the worst thing that ever happened to wrestling or anything, but this is definitely a guy that made it to WWE only because of his looks"

[4.0] "WWE's penchant for hiring any NFL talent they can makes sense as they normally have the qualities that make a good pro wrestler: size and athleticism, of which Mojo had. His wrestling was not bad just very formulaic WWE style, he clearly did his best with the work he was given, putting his all into the characters of hype bro and then a heel who talked to himself in the mirror. I think his wrestling and acting felt too forced. The gimmicks he was given was terrible and he was never really given anything of a sustained push, it seems he is thriving post-WWE so wrestling simply wasn't for him."

[2.0] "As annoying as possible as a face and Zack Ryder's team partner, but slightly improved after the heel-turn. He is a 7-time 24/7 champion and the winner of Andre the Giant's Memorial Battle Royal, which is probably the biggest achievements in his career."

[2.0] "I don't think anyone made me feel as embarrassed as Mojo. Being a face in The Hype Bros. was downright annoying. It wasn't even the level where someone was so bad as to be good. You couldn't see him. The actions barely resembled wrestling and everything around him, the whole facial expressions, reactions, leading the character was very tiring. Later, as a heel, he was bland - a series of segments where he talks to the mirror, and then nothing. Definitely one of the worst wrestlers in WWE in recent years."

[0.0] "A very boring wrestler. In the ring he was very bad. There was maybe a lot of charisma but he was very annoying, he was doing too much."

[7.0] "I always enjoyed Mojo, he might not have been the best wrestler but he was still very solid, always had a good look to him. He worked well as both a face and a heel and if a company doesn't want to push him then he would still be a solid lower mid carder or someone to put others over"

[2.0] "Mojo was garbage but he wasn't bad enough to be "so bad that he's good". It became clear pretty quickly that he was just there to be used as a bargaining chip to bring in Gronk"

[6.0] "Promo and personality wise, he's probably an 8. You really saw that when he turned heel and started uploading his own promos from his cell phone. They were really engaging and you saw a lot of potential there that you wish was utilized more. In the ring, he's like a 5. Fairly standard with some intensity, but nothing real standout, so I feel like a 6 is a perfect rating for him. Time will tell if he can get better in the ring."

[4.0] "The hate is a bit much for this guy; he is your average in-ring talent. Good energy, but no direction. Has yet to find the right character. That said, I understand why the WWE keeps him around. His famous friend aside, Mojo himself does have a lot of upside. He has charisma and athleticism; here is hoping he can finally put it all together. Could use an actual program, like many others, but he hasn't really garnered the fan interest to warrant that on such a crowded show. Maybe some time as a bigger fish in a smaller pond would be good for Mojo."

[0.0] "Absolutely worst wrestler ever to enter the ring. Can't do anything at all. It's just a mistake. He should have been fired by now"

[2.0] "Idk, there's just nothing that really connected properly with Rawley. He looks the part, sure, but his wrestling is slow and for a guy with a "hype" gimmick, he's really lacking that explosiveness that a guy his size should have. Bland on the mic and lacking any sort of real presence in the ring. Even having a seasoned worker like Ryder behind him couldn't really get a lot out of the guy. Nothing about him really works and we've gone way beyond the point where size could get you far in the business by itself."

[1.0] "Hey, did you know if you open up a snapple there is always a fun fact under the bottle cap? Anyways Mojo Rawley is garbage."

[1.0] "He doesn't get me hyped, he sucks. Terrible In Ring Skills, This heel run he's had is bafflingly dumb, he was a... not good(? ) Babyface, but it was still better than his awful promos."

[2.0] "Nothing exciting about this guy expect he's Zack Ryder's partner. He was a football player turned wrestler. No skills and not good on the mic. Physique is great."

[4.0] "So whenever Im bored and have nothing else to do, I go watch Main Event and see how wrestlers are doing there. Mojo seems to have improved a bit in terms of in ring performance. I feel like he is also getting more comfortable with being an heel. However, he definitely needs a manager. Sami Zayn showed up and managed Mojo, and maybe this is a turn in the right direction."

[5.0] "Mojo Rawley is stale in the ring. That's mostly due to his limited superman hype gimmick - basically an even more limited Super-Cena gimmick. His worst gimmick, which was still cheered by fans (in other words: once again we're part of the problem and blame it on the WWE management). Therefore he couldn't really evolve much in NXT. Apart from that he has a lot of potential. He can cut good promos, even with bad gimmick his character work is good. But he's suffering from one of the most inconsistent character developments. I don't understand how Mojo is supposed to be annoying, when he never had a lot of TV time. He's definitely one of the weaker wrestlers in the current WWE's roster, but definitely not someone to be rated with 2-3. The rating here tells you more about the wrestling community than about Mojo Rawley."

[3.0] "Pretty much the epitome of a guy who just doesn't have the "it factor". His persona is never going to work & his in ring work is basic at best. He seems like a great guy in real life (albeit a little, how should I say... energetic? ), so I feel bad that this isn't work out for him. But I really have to call a spade a spade here."

[3.0] "Energetic as hell but that's really all he has going for him. I don't think he deserves a 2. 5 overall rating but I def wouldn't give him anything higher than a 4. Perhaps I just haven't seen enough of him to give him a 0?"

[0.0] "Mojo Rawley seems like a funny guy backstage. But JESUS FUCKING CHRIST HE IS TERRIBLE. I cant stand him talking, I cant stand him wrestling, and his character is that he has facepaint and he is crazy just because. At His Peak in the Hype Bros he was average, his moveset is so shallow that it makes the Ultimate Warrior look like Hiroshi Tanahashi"

[1.0] "Awful in the ring, can't talk, his charisma seems limited to being incredibly annoying. Not much there."

[0.0] "I try update wrestlers rating every year , so i don't think about their past , i just think about their 1 last year , i know promotions can make wrestlers years worst or awesome too but it is what it is..... So at 2018 till now MOJO RAWLEY is still same worse wrestler at every segment , bad promos , bad gear , bad ring skill !"

[3.0] "Mojo sucks in pretty much every facet of wrestling. His promos might be his only strength, he's clearly passionate about what he does and I respect that. His best match was probably that Seth open challenge from RAW this year (2018)"

[2.0] "Mojo has a good look, but his power offense is at best rather basic, ring psychology somewhat lacking and his enthusiasm can come off as more grating than infectious, and the crowd has seemed to have difficulty in taking to him as either a face or heel. He would perhaps be best suited to returning to a role as a heavy for a tag team."

[3.0] "Mojo works hard and has fun doing it. That being said, his ceiling doesn't seem to be very high. His mic work is meh, his ring work is meh."

[5.0] "Yes, Mojo Rawley is a good wrestler. Good moves, good punchs. But when he attacked Zack Ryder, i was very sad and angry"

[2.0] "This guy is very sub par in the ring. So dull and soulless. His gimmick is laughable. He is only ok on the mic and has ok charisma. That's why I give 2."

[4.0] "where's the fairness in giving a 0 to Mojo Rowley? Why you can't take this seriousely? He's decent, not good, but decent, end of the line."

[5.0] "I'm not going to argue that Mojo is a great wrestler. He's far from it. But he's fine. He's acceptable. He's not a 2/10. He's clearly working on his ability and has shown some improvement. It's funny to think that he beat Jinder at Wrestlemania and now Jinder is champ and Mojo is nowhere to be seen but that's WWE for you."

[0.0] "Erghhhh I hate Mojo Rawley, every time I see him come on Smackdown I need to switch channel! He is too much, he is awful I cannot stand the man, hit attitude is a disgrace, his "hype" gimmick is atrocious, a waste of a valuable spot on the main roster for somebody half decent!"

[0.0] "Oh my god. I can't imagine a wrestler worse than Mojo Rawley. Eva Marie? No, she's in much better. Why the WWE let him won Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal? His character is very dumb. Creepy jumping former football player on cocaine. Also his ring skills leaves much to be desired."

[5.0] "Mojo no es tan mal luchador, si vale, no tiene mucho talento luchistico, pero es carismático, y hacía buen equipo con Zack Ryder."

[4.0] "He's certainly not great, but a 1 or 2 out of 10 seems over the top. He's improved a lot and brings good energy to the show. I love how much WWE has embraced indie wrestling, but there's still a need for guys like Mojo on the lower mid-card."

[2.0] "Definitely improved since he first started in NXT, but he's still absolutely awful. I don't see what the WWE sees in this dude."

[5.0] "Annoying as hell, but he's improving. Sometimes coming to the main roster prematurely can be a blessing in disguise. Hopefully they use the ATGMB win to do further develop his career. He's also good with kids which is never a bad thing in WWE. Just make him tone down the obnoxiousness."

[0.0] "I prefer to watch at curling instead of watching him in the ring. Even if he jumps all around the place, he would break his toe attending a gymnastic class."

[1.0] "He is probably the worst talent in the main roster from NXT, the gimmick is the only thing that works. The guy has no charisma, he is boring in the ring and at the mic, I can't see a single bit of Wrestling qualities from him, but he gets pushed too much. I really hope he will improve, but after four years he is still terrible."

[3.0] "Terrible character and awful in the ring. He has everything that keeps me avoiding to watch his matches or segments."

[3.0] "Rawley is a bad wrestler, and quite unlikeable. His whole gimmick alongside Ryder is that he is a stereotypical "bro", but for some reason this is played off as a babyface persona. This makes no sense, since 'bros' are usually immature, rude, and obnoxious. Trying to make Rawley likeable by giving him characteristics most commonly associated with totally unlikeable people is extremely stupid. I am almost convinced that Rawley is meant to be heel however, given his extremely cringeworthy catchphrases, his unintelligent and obnoxious tone and dialogue, his embarrassing football inspired moves, and his forced passion for excitement and 'hype'. This really leaves Rawley stranded, as he has all the makings of a heel but is positioned by WWE as a babyface. His general offence is fine but limited, as he usually just plays the hot tag role alongside Ryder. He could actually work as a good heel if allowed to push this 'bro' gimmick in that direction, but for now he just comes off as a total geek because he wants to be adored by fans for his passion but acts far too unintelligent, arrogant, loudmouthed, and disruptive to ever actually achieve that."

[6.0] "He's okay in the ring and his ring work suits his gimmick fine. My biggest concern is his gimmick. What does "he ain't hype" mean? The whole pointing at a guy mid match to shout "he ain't hype" three or four times is rather strange. Having watched him in NXT and the main roster, I'd imagine that he won't get that much further than the Hype Bros or something similar, so perhaps his gimmick is fine for where he will be in his career."

[6.0] "A solid tag team wrestler who is good at hyping up the fans, while being a passable worker. Not the worst thing in WWE right now, but very far from the best. Seems to be constantly improving at the very least."

"Mojo is nowhere near as bad as purported. Part of the issue is that he has this odd inexplicable gimmick. So, he is a football player? Is he a 30 year old Jersey Shore teen? Is he a cheerleader? Until Mojo gets some character development, the fact is that he will rank low. He is not a draw, not a top guy, not a mic man. However, with that said, over the last year he has shown a lot of improvement."

[2.0] "He is... ugh. I really don't like his gimmick as he is always hype. He's not good in the ring. The only reason he's not a 0 is because he really connects with kids as shown in Breaking Ground."

[6.0] "Mojo Rawley knows to play play up to gimmick. He may never be sole person responsible to make a great match. But he is a good at his hot tag and great at getting the crowd in involved,"

[5.0] "I dont understand the low rating for Mojo. He isnt the vest wrestler but he is very charismatic and has tons of enthusiasm. He has decent mic skills. His moveset is kind of bland and his finisher looks really weak. Overall I hope him being drafted to Smackdown Live will really help his carrier. 5/10."

[3.0] "Mojo Rawley really wants to be a pro wrestler -- he tries terribly hard, and I feel bad for giving him the only rating I can. The fact is that shouting can't mask his lack of charisma, and that running around like a maniac can't mask his lack of skill. He's energetic, but he's not a natural performer and his cardio still isn't good. Beneath a "hyped" facade, it's plainly visible that Mojo is well out of his league and trying desperately not to wash out of NXT. Sadly, I just don't think he has what it takes to cut it in the big leagues."

[0.0] "Really can't stand the guy. Poor wrestler, poor look, can't really execute his gimmick very well, highly unlikeable as a performer on just about ever level. No idea what WWE hopes to see from this guy, I can't see him amounting to much of anything. Even as an enhancement talent I don't care for him."

[5.0] "Mojo's inadequacies are camouflaged by the proficiency of Zack Ryder, who he is honestly working decently well with. A far cry from what he used to be, Mojo still has time to change people's opinions about him."

[1.0] "At first i was "How can he be rated so low? ", and then i watched him wresttled. Totally justified, way less than average wrestler, but the guy has on his point he is extremelly energetic. Still no enough to rate him better, he needs proper wrestling training."
