https://www.ringsidenews.com/several-wwe-talent-hesitant-work-oba-femi/Oba Femi has been steamrolling just about everyone in his path, but according to a new backstage claim, not everyone is excited when they find out they’re working with him. The reason has nothing to do with Oba himself—it’s about what usually happens after the feud is over.Speaking during a Self Made Session, Self Made Pro was asked how established WWE stars feel about putting over younger names like Oba Femi and Bron Breakker. He said it really depends on the wrestler, but claimed Oba is one of the names some talent have been hesitant to work with. “It really depends on who you ask because it depends. It depends on where your spot is on the card. I know that there were a lot of wrestlers that were hesitant to work Oba Femi, not out of anything personally against Oba, but because they knew, ‘Oh, if I’m being paired against Oba Femi, I’m going to be, like, f****** and sent down the card a little bit.'”According to Self Made Pro, the issue isn’t backstage heat or problems with Femi personally. Instead, he claimed some wrestlers see a program with someone WWE is heavily protecting as a tough spot to be in, because they don’t feel like they have much to gain if they’re there mainly to help build the next big star. He also said Oba isn’t the only one who gets that kind of reaction. According to Self Made Pro, Gunther is another wrestler some talent aren’t eager to work with for similar reasons. “I know that there’s some wrestlers that aren’t keen to work Oba or Gunther, mainly because it’s like they don’t like working on the projects because, again, they just don’t—they feel like they don’t get a lot out of working a project.”Every generation has that one wrestler WWE decides to build around, and according to this report, Oba Femi may already be in that category. Whether everyone likes it or not, his rise doesn’t look like it’s slowing down anytime soon.

>>21344568Hey hey /pw/ check this outOba Femi? more like Oba Femboy
>>21344568Oba fucking sucks too I don't know why they're convinced he's the next Hogan
Well if some smark says so on a podcast it has to be real
>>21344586E-drones are fuckin parakeets, that's why
Why are this many people in the business telling all this stuff to a fan?
>>21344589Not enough subconscious counters for you?
>>21344586Kek hes the next Ahmed Johnson if anything
>>21344568another overpushed star who has no talent and is fundamentally still a rookie. He should be having a run for the Intercontinental title or fueds in the midcard.but instead he goes from literal who to brock lesnar in hell in a cell (botches the finish) to roman reigns.hilarious.
>>21344568If i was made to feud with a guy with a spearchucker gimmick im fucking shooting on him
>>21344568If you are afraid for you career after working with a super hot pushed monster then you just ain't good at taking bumps or selling
>>21344672Bitch you would have a heart attack walking to the ring.
>>21344694Uh oh you are gonna trigger someone with this post. They have convinced themselves Oba isn't over despite everything all the evidence to the contrary
>>21344694Yeah bro it's going to do wonders for your career to have your guy no sell your finish and then beat you in 5 minutes
>>21344694I'm sure all those jobbers Goldberg squashed had very succesful careers afterwards
>>21344694If you can't see how losing to Roman or Punk in a 25 minute match where you get all your shit in is more appealing to wrestlers than getting murked in 10 minutes by Oba because he can't go for longer than that then you're dense.And don't act like it's just jobbers being uppity because he's been pushed to the top of the card.
>>21344568>ibouSo it's made up then
Why don’t these marks understand that not everyone is going to be a main eventer and someone has to do the jobs for the top stars?
they need to book bron as the guy who no sells and pummels people down, hes more kino. oba is just some nxt nig nog they suck off on reddit for some reason.
>>21345353bron is 5'9
>>21344708Which of his matches with actual opponents, as in not jobbers like The Miz, has this happened in?
>>21344568There's literally no point to working with him. Sneed couldn't even get some heat for himself BEFORE the match by putting his foot on him. Obitch can't look bad at literally any point in a feud. Roman had success as the tribal chief because unlike muh beeg dawg he got bitched all the time and looked vulnerable.
>>21344568>during a Self Made Session
>>21345538Darby is 5'4 and he uses that gimmick
>>21345353Bron was going to be that, but then the TKO board got boners looking at ObaThey've decided he's gonna be the young blood in the title picture and there's nothing we can do to stop them.Also Bron got hurt this year during Mania season and that really soured WWE creative for whatever reason
>>21344568OH NYOO I'M ABOUT TO BE SQUASHED AAAIIIEEEE
>>21344708>>21344741No one was ever damaged from working with someone like Strowman during his peak (not saying it helped or elevated anyone either though). If you can't bounce back from losing to the guy getting the Giga push, you don't have it and/or you were gonna get booked like shit regardless
>>21344568These sort of stories are so weird to me. It reveals how many wrestlers are self-marks.Like, you’re an athletic actor. That’s it. That’s what you are. Some actors are the lead. Some are supporting cast. The bosses decide who is who. Everyone gets paid. No one takes it too seriously. For crissakes, you think a supporting actor doesn’t like working with Timothee Chalomet or Glenn Powell because they don’t see anything in it for them? >“Ugh, I really don’t like working second fiddle to Sydney Sweeney because I feel like I’ll be buried and there won’t be much for me afterward.” What a stupid mindset. Do pro wrestlers really not understand they are actors playing roles? It’s not real.
>>21344568CURTAINS FOR ZOOSHKA?OBA FEMI AND CAPPUCINO JONES CAUGHT FLIPPING A GRUNT?
>>21344568>ibu says
>>21346112Do you really think most actors aren't striving for lead roles? And movies are so short term, you can be a midcarder in a blockbuster and then go be the lead in a smaller movie months later. And people are willing to accept both because they're different roles with possibly different audiences. The guy that got squashed by Oba is still gonna be that character in his next feud. What you're getting at worked a lot better in the territories, where you can lose the big one and go somewhere else after
>>21344741You just don't know how to sell, emote or make the most your minutes. Have fun being a jobber, in GCW, for life
>>21344568People are gonna turn on Oba
>>21344568>I don't want to job to a guy is becoming the top starThis is what happens when you make everyone think they will get a run with a title. When you don't call people jobbers and let them know they have to climb or be happy with the spot they have.
>>21345572Roman Reigns makes Oba Femi look like the wrestling school student that he is. It's night and day. Roman knows EXACTLY how to present himself as a powerful but deeply flawed character.
>>21346112If you're not a self-mark then you're not a fucking wrestler, period.Just say you literally don't understand the business whatsoever and get off the board, faggot Reddit nigger.
>>21344586This. He's only getting pushed because Jews are gay for black men
>>21347712Kevin Nash can confirm this.
>>21344741Nobody wants to work with Oba Femi because Oba Femi sucks ass in the ring and absolutely nobody believes in his opponent. So not only are you working a boring, stifling match, you're getting squashed, AND you're guaranteed to fall down the card if not off it completely after he pins you. It's not even "they get nothing out of it", they get less than that. They get a humiliation ritual that basically classifies them as "not good enough for anything else". A guarantee that they'll only ever be used as fodder forever-more.
>>21345563Ooga Booga just buried Bronson Sneeds finisher (pinned Okada clean with that btw) AND Logan Pauls brass knucklesHe buries literally every single person he works with because he's a complete giga shitter
>>21347719KWAB
>>21347731Allegedly
>>21347735It is a verifiable and objective fact that Kevin R. Nash is indeed labeled KWAB in every government database on the planet.
>>21347742Allegedly
>>21347745Afraid not. Big Kev admitted it and celebrates his survival now.
>>21347746How you know
>>21347727He said that he no sells finishers and beats the opponent in 5 minutes. Who has he done that to?
>>21347748He told me
>>21347761Brock lesnar. Wrestlemania. DUH!!
>>21347763So you dont know
>>21347774I do thoughbeit
>>21347780Allegedly
>>21347783Okay. How you know?
>>21347787You tell me
>>21347795Anything is possible
>>21347800Indeed. even the possibility of group family gay sex. Let me talk to ya>YEAHyoure gay>YEAHyour dad is gay>YEAHyour dog is gay>YEAHand you all have gay sex together>YEAH
