Notably, there were instances where McMahon’s interest in Myers was evident. When Neville, also known as Pac, received a call-up to the main roster, Road Dogg conveyed McMahon’s directive that Myers should work with Neville. This opportunity was intended to gauge Neville’s capabilities, underscoring McMahon’s strategic assessment of Myers’ skills.

Despite these positive interactions, Myers expressed a degree of uncertainty about the exact turning point that led to a shift in McMahon’s perspective. He pondered over whether McMahon perceived him as a superstar, acknowledging that the dynamic might not have been optimal.

In retrospect, Myers found McMahon’s recognition and acknowledgment of his capabilities to be flattering. Although Myers couldn’t grasp the full extent of McMahon’s perception of him as a potential superstar, he recognized the value of McMahon’s acknowledgment and trust in his ability to fulfill his intended role within the wrestling landscape.

Nevertheless, a deep dive into the wrestler’s career could play a part in understanding his stature in the company.

Hawkins’ career in a nutshell

Curt Hawkins endured a losing streak of 269 consecutive losses without securing a single victory. However, his journey is more intricate than just a series of losses. A seasoned WWE competitor since 2007, Hawkins partnered with Zack Ryder as the Edgeheads, supporting Edge and even clinching the WWE Tag Team Titles.

Hawkins’ career took unforeseen routes thereafter. He formed tag teams with Vance Archer and Tyler Reks. The former WWE star also had a brief stint in NXT . Furthermore, he explored the independent wrestling scene during a hiatus from WWE. Upon returning to WWE in 2016, Hawkins faced a string of misfortune that translated into his infamous 269-match losing streak. Surprisingly, rather than casting him as a perpetual loser, this streak unexpectedly endeared him to the WWE Universe.

Back in 2011, The Rock aimed to make his comeback for WrestleMania that year. Hawkins and his friend Joe Henning famous by his ring name Curtis Axel were chosen to be sparring partners for The Brahma Bull.
