Dolph Ziggler's skill set makes him very well-suited to be a good jobber like Heath Slater, so in a way things are working out well for him. All of Sheamus' faults come from lovely creative and bad writing, in the ring he's solid (and great when he's battling other big guys or Daniel Bryan) and he could be a much bigger deal if they stop writing him as a bully moron.

Ryback is hilarious on twitter. Bo Dallas is IRS's son and Bray Wyatt's brother, so that's pretty cool, I guess. Although I don't really like R. Truth or his gimmick, he has done a good job of getting over, and the crowd seems to really get into his intro. I don't really dig the JBL character, but he used to be Bradshaw. It gives me a warm fuzzy to know that he and Ron "Farooq" Simmons are best friends in real life. APA was awesome. djinndarc fucked around with this message at 23:43 on Feb 10, 2014 |

Ryback has cool singlets. Curtis Axel and Ryback are very funny on Twitter. Kevin Nash seems like a fun guy to hang out with, and it's always funny to make fun of his Christian legs. Also, he's okay on the mic. Alberto Del Rio can play a decent douchebag aristocrat when he gets the chance. Michelle McCool had a fun tag team with Layla, and used the Styles Clash. You know what, I'm just gonna start saying nice things about workers I like because there's no "be positive about people you really like" thread. Cody has some of the best moves(drop-down slap, Beautiful Disaster Kick) and I mark the gently caress out for them. Antonio Cesaro is charismatic, athletic, and handsome as hell. Ric Flair and Eddie Guerrero are the two best wrestlers of all time. John Cena has an amazing sense of humor, and is one of the best workers on the WWE roster. Naomi makes her rear end-based moveset work, and is one of the best workers on the Divas roster. Also she is beautiful. Rob Van Dam may be super sloppy, but I legit love his gimmick and find him to be very entertaining. While I could not get into Jack Swagger as a character during his ADR feud, his stuff with Zeb and Antonio Cesaro has been great, and he's a dynamite worker.

Randy Orton said "ti-tle" that one time and it made me laugh, so if he's not going away then I wish he'd always say it like that. It's also kinda cool when he hits the RKO out of nowhere as a midair counter. Michael PS Hayes helped introduce the Freebird rule I guess, and he apparently supported Punk's title push. Michelle McCool was kinda fun with Layla and was in good shape and married the Undertaker so that's cool I guess. Fabulous Moolah helped put Mae Young on the map so I guess she wasn't entirely a horrible person.

Kofi Kingston is an amazing athlete. The time he basically jumped over the Big Show and most of his Rumble saves (the office chair last year was sort of ehhh) are moments that will always be incredible. The Rough Ryder, Zack's patented diving leg lariat, is really cool. Billy Gunn is honestly in just as good of shape now as he was nearly two decades ago, and has managed to resist murdering the Road Dogg, showing strong moral character.

I really used to love Michael Cole on commentary, especially when he was paired with Tazz. These days, Cole's pretty great when he's not doing commentary. Likewise, Tazz wasn't bad when he did commentary with Cole. Back when he was a wrestler in ECW, I legitimately bought him as this unstoppable suplexing monster. Brock Lesnar is stupidly good at destroying guys and being vicious. I still love that match he had with Cena at Extreme Rules a few years back, and that match with Show at the Rumble was one of the highlights of the night for me. Chris Jericho used to be one of my very favourite wrestlers. His feud with Dean Malenko is one of the few angles from WCW that I still like as an adult. Plus I met Jericho one time and acted like a goony idiot, but he was still nice to me.

Vince McMahon is very considerate and helpful. When he has an idea for a cool thing for the announce team to say, he lets them know right then and there so they won't miss their chance and feel bad about it later.

I liked the renegade team of Miz and R-Truth and was pretty hype on them after they busted up a Cena cage match. And I only dislike the Miz (instead of hate), and don't hate R-Truth at all.

Kevin Nash was hilarious in Longest Yard and he was the final boss in Turtles in Time, one of the best SNES games ever. Lince Dorado sold really well as a heel and his Armor King-looking BDK mask was pretty badass. Ian Rotten bestowed upon us the term "shoot job."

Gavok posted:Ian Rotten bestowed upon us the term "shoot job." To expand on this, there was a 90 minute podcast that was just an excuse to keep Ian Rotten on the phone while about 9 people who hated him called him a worthless liar. The host kept using the phrase "shoot job at the taco bell" to describe Ian's day job when he was not promoting IWAMS. In particular there is a bit where the host uses the phrase three times in two sentences. It was a good podcast, we had a GDT for it, but ive lost the link. So I guess that's something I like about Ian Rotten.

I think the Miz genuinely loves wrestling, despite the irony of his main value to the WWE being for non-wrestling stuff. The Ultimate Warrior is entertaining, just not because of anything he does in a wrestling ring. The Great Khali seems like a great dude in real life and I wish he had gotten better health care a long time ago, for the sake of himself rather than his in-ring ability. Steve Austin is easily one of the greatest of all time, and in retrospect he's a more intelligent and flexible performer than I ever could have believed. Kevin Dunn, as near as I can tell, is really good at the job of stage-managing WWE shows. Dynamite Kid is a legendary performer and inspired a whole generation of ring technicians. Hardbody Harrison was the only interesting thing about the Toughman episode in which he appeared. Without Michael Hayes we wouldn't have the Stone Cold Stunner. HHH, for all his many faults, seems to actually care about having wrestling on a wrestling show. Brock Lesnar knows how to play the monster role and moves great for such a big guy. New Jack...is at least sane enough not to hate Molly Holly. The Jiu-Jitsu Jackoffs, well, they actually learned a few cool spots from their BJJ background. Ian Rotten's finishing move has a cool name. I think David Otunga has a great look. Kofi does do some cool spots. I will always respect Lawler for his in-ring work and his program with Andy Kaufman. The Rock: See Austin, Steve.

A friend of mine who hasn't watched wrestling in years ended up watching this past Royal Rumble. He called Bray Wyatt and crew "those Duck Dynasty" guys which made me laugh, because Duck Dynasty is lovely and also Bray Wyatt is lovely. So thanks for making me laugh, Bray Wyatt.

Toxx Sonnet no. 11 - I disagree, Mr. Flair To tell the truth, I think his offense sucks. I don't believe his punches really hurt. I don't mean like a work; I'm really struck By how his overhands look so inert. It's not that he was pushed a bit too fast. He used to be a welcome part of RAW. With Morrison, their antics on the web Would have me laugh and clamouring for more. That chicken promo, perfectly performed And Daniel Bryan as his rookie chum Were highlights of a TV star transformed. Now he's hard to watch; the awesome one. Atop the card is not what's best for biz But as a midcard heel, I like The Miz.
