You missed Dolph Ziggler off that list - the dude is immensely talented! Holiday shows apart i'm really liking Raw at the moment, it's nice to see them putting so much faith in the NXT guys and think it will start to pay dividends in the future.
Amen. Although Cesaro could use a bit of work on his entertainment skills he is an absolute powerhouse. The commentary team are doing a good job of making both these guys seem legit.
I agree that R-rod's little flurry was cool (He could out-wrestle khali handcuffed!) but it made little sense. A few weeks ago we had Maddox (who supposedly will be a fully fledged wrestler) get in no offense against Show and here is this tubby ring announcer showing him how it's done? Just struck me as a bit un-even. Mind you I felt the same way when watching smackdown this week. Watching the 6-man tag match (which JBL, legend that he is, rightfully pointed out was dire) Primo and Epico were selling hornswoggle's moves like the guy was the Undertaker. I'm not saying they wouldn't hurt, i'm just saying don't take the mick.
If you believe Kurt Angle then the AJ story has TNA written all over it
Couldn't agree more with this. Sheamus is a case in point everything he does seems so forced and unnatural. I cringe every time he gets on the mic, put him back to being a heel, he's much better in that role. Or if you need to keep him as a face have him be a character who loves beating up people and it just so happens that all his fights are against heels. There is a real lack of complexity in the WWE at the moment, bad guys only win by cheating, good guys always play fair, it was nice to see Cena after losing the Ladder match vs Ziggler acting like a sour loser on RAW, I think they should do this more often. Plants a seed for a possible heel turn. Would love to see Cena Vs. Ziggler with the heel/face alignment flipped. (the last event I went to I saw almost as many Ziggler tee shirts as Cena one's anyway)
