Seriously? This gimmick in the 21st century?

Jason Jordan being declared as the son of Kurt Angle was such a bad gimmick that the former couldn't even try to salvage it. Jason Jordan is a good in-ring worker but that wasn't enough to earn him the support of the crowd.

In the Superstar Shakeup, Jason Jordan was drafted to Raw and Chad Gable was drafted to SmackDown, thus effectively breaking up American Alpha. Jordan spent some time trying to learn the ropes from more experienced superstars. Then, suddenly on the July 17, 2017, edition of Monday Night Raw, he was revealed to be Kurt Angle's kayfabe son in arguably one of the worst booking decisions of this decade.

Jason came off as a 'whiny son' and it was clearly evident that he was not going to be over the crowd with is the current gimmick. The audience turned on him faster than he could blink his eye. He could have performed well on the mic but the 'unexpected' reactions of the crowd pulled out the rug from under him.
