Damien Sandow spent 10 years in developmental without giving up, that's pretty impressive. Wade Barrett got arrested for beating up a cop, that's cool.

The Miz is a fantastic douchebag heel when he's allowed to be, and his face run probably wasn't his idea. I also have it on good authority that he's a total sweetheart in person. Corey Graves has a neat looking submission finisher. Although I still find him Bo-ring in the ring, Bo Dallas seriously won me over by embracing the hell out of his heel turn. Brodus Clay had a fun match against CM Punk that one time after Punk called him out in a promo. I don't normally like Ryback or Sheamus in the ring, but their Smackdown match was really fun and they have great ring chemistry. They should just feud and have fun hoss matches. sticklefifer fucked around with this message at 01:43 on Feb 10, 2014 |

The Big Show had a hell of a run with Jericho as his partner that gave us both good comedy segments and good matches. Rey Mysterio dresses up like comic book characters for big ppv's which is cool. Batista doesn't really injure people frequently, also one time he said some funny stuff about basketballs. The American Wolves is a cool name for a team at least. Kofi Kingston is guaranteed to do at least one interesting thing during the rumble every year. ADR had a spectacular ladder match with Christian, and that awesome double turn match with Dolph, plus he ran over Santa.

Ric Flair's name is harder to spell than one might imagine from hearing it, good for him the wee trickster. Randy Orton looks pretty good for a guy with so little hair and the RKO is a pretty incredible and flexible finisher.

Ryback is starting to tap into his real potential as a slightly goofy, possibly deranged but still incredibly dangerous heel. If he can ever learn how to work safely, I think he'll be a welcome sight on my television for years to come as something similar to Scott Steiner. Antonio Cesaro is an all-star top of the line wrestler in terms of psychology, physical charisma and sheer ability to work. I thank god he got away from the character he was as US Champion, because I've hated that character since the 80s. If he can ever find a character that is actually good for him as opposed to the neutral effect his being a Real American is having, he could be a wrestling god. Brock Lesnar is basically Hercules incarnate. He is a supreme physical specimen that only comes along once a generation, and he has worked hard to leverage those gifts into tremendous skill and prowess in multiple different sports, and I respect his abilities as an athlete. I have never once seen a bad match with him in it.

I'd honestly rather not go into this, because I have a feeling it won't end well because any time I've ever expressed my dislike for Brock Lesnar it's never ended well. Let's just stick to the fact that I have all the respect in the world for his ability. I am allowed to dislike a wrestler even if he's a good wrestler I think. A lot of people have listed good wrestlers in this thread.

I will say that if Jeff Hardy comes up with his own face paint designs and applies it himself, he's come up with some cool poo poo over the years. I also really like old Hardy Boyz ladder/TLC matches with the Dudleys and/or E&C, and there were a few times in his WWE singles career where I legitimately rooted for him, like against the Undertaker and against Triple H. He also moved a lot of merchandise. Really, he'd be a pretty good investment for a wrestling company if he wasn't such a habitual fuckup and had better mic skills.

Brie Bella seems nice in real life. She and Bryan actually make a pretty good couple. Plus she was rooting for the Seahawks during Super Bowl week (due to her relationship, but the gesture is still appreciated) Nikki is related to Brie.

Vince has put his body and dignity on the line for the benefit of his company several times, which is more than most CEOs can say. R-Truth can go really fast for a guy in his 40s. Curt Axel is great together with Ryback, they're like two bullies from a kids' show.

Pre-bloat, HHH had a good look and had some really cool offense. Post-bloat, what Gavok said about HHH. Brodus Clay looks neat and, hey, he tried with his stupid gimmick. Great Khali's presence as a comedic entity outside of the ring is fantastic. Kids love Santino, and sometimes he can pull out something that makes me mark out anyways. Hornswoggle is a really cool dude and, hey, if the kids love him, he's there for a reason. Billy Gunn has perfect chemistry with Road Dogg. Like, crazy perfect. Curtis Axel tries like hell. Sheamus can do some super rad hossing on occasion. Kofi Kingston's Rumble spots are fantastic, and the dude is enthusiastic. Ryback is growing on me and if it weren't for his whole "botch people into the hospital" thing I wouldn't be sure I could say I hate him. I used to really like Wade Barrett  It is nuts how good R-Truth looks and moves for his age. "Former five-star wrestler*-turned-rear end in a top hat-authority figure" is still a gimmick with legs, damnit, no matter what happened with the John Laurinaitis thing. Tensai had some really cool matches in Japan, and he owns on commentary, and he's willing to be a goof. Vladimir Kozlov had one helluva look. Bob Sapp and Akebono are wonderful guest stars and can do some really fun spots. I guess I don't really "hate" them as much as I just kind of don't want to see them that much. I like Low Ki's ring work when he's not recklessly endangering others for little to no reason.

Curtis Axel is pretty solid in-ring and he does the Perfectplex (even if it's not a finisher, what the hell). ADR is really good at telling a story in the ring, pity he's not that good at telling a story OUT of it. Tamina is systematically transforming WWE into a joshi federation. Aksana is trying too. HHH is a nice guy when he's on NXT. Los Matadores have awesome Marvel 2 music and El Torito by their side. Also, a cool triple-team finisher. Alex Riley has a good relationship with the Miz, and in the end what really matters are the friendships we make during our lifetime. The JBL and Cole Show is funny and King got Ziggler's elbows over.

Kevin Nash is one of the most gifted comedians to ever work in pro wrestling, and his work in the PCS was leaps and bounds above most wrestling comedy skits. The Great Khali was incredible in that one WWE.com video where he shipped merchandise, and I could stand to see a whole lot more of that kind of video. Michael Cole does an excellent job when he acts like a journalist rather than a commentator - his interviews with HHH and The Shield, his trip to Glenn Beck's offices, etc. Rob Van Dam seems like he'd be a really chill guy to hang out with, and I feel like I could always trust him to supply the weed.

Aksana is clearly the best shootfighter in the divas division, and she fit pretty well with Cesaro as his valet. Despite being a collective age of 90 years old, the New Age Outlaws seem to be trying a decent amount in most of their matches during this run. The Rock was my father's favourite wrestler and a large part of why the WWF was so successful in the late 1990s. The Usos have a fantastic entrance and they seem to have a good connection with the fans in general. Jimmy Uso is married to Naomi, and she is a wonderful person.
