the "Who ran over austin" storyline from the attitude era immediately comes to mind.

Arrow

Now, it looks like they're trying to repeat that same formula; because Butch has gone missing!

[{"selector":"#anim-01fb359f-a8df-49ec-8f42-3fb3b51fa415","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Just look at this image. Arrow

Sure, the Bruiserweight was cool from an indie stand-point, but WWE is all about flashy characters & catchphrases so he was re-packaged as Butch. Arrow

To be fair to the lad, he's been getting plenty of screen time as part of "Fight Night".

[{"selector":"#anim-1886213c-4349-4902-b1b7-41c85337d774 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(25.54687485161939%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

And his borderline-comical portrayal of restless anger is a real delight to watch.

If done right, it could make Butch a huge star. If not, well... Arrow
