As clichéd as it may be, timing is everything in professional wrestling.
Some of the biggest stars the industry has ever seen were successful because they were in the right place at the right time. When the right wrestler and the right moment converge, it creates the type of magic that makes pro wrestling so special.
But the wrong timing has the potential to derail careers. If someone becomes champion before they’re ready for that kind of spotlight, it can be hard to overcome. Fans will turn against a wrestler who is getting a main-event push before they’re ready for it.
