It's a problem you think we need to explain ourselves.
Randy Orton has some cool tattoos, I guess.

John Cena seems like a cool guy outside of wrestling.

Edge has always been pretty funny, and I was a fan before he went back to singles competition.

Daniel Bryan's "No! No!" phase was amusing.

Hulk Hogan was one half of one of the most iconic stare-downs in entertainment history.

Chris Benoit was a legitimately fantastic worker, seriously one of the best in-ring guys ever.

So was Savage, but Savage could talk, too.

Viscera was part of a stable that involved The Undertaker.

Virgil was a small part of the reason that Ted DiBiase had absolutely nuclear heat wherever he went.

HHH took a Tombstone on an escalator.

The Patriot gave Kurt Angle his theme music.

Shotgun Saturday Night had shows in clubs, bars, etc. I can't watch at work, but I think this first video is the one where HHH took one at the top of an escalator.

For more related thread things though...

Brie Bella has definitely improved and Nikki is better than before too.

Rey Mysterio can still go pretty well and used to be amazing before his knee issues.

Albert Del Rio can still put on a good match and probably would be more over if they didn't take away all his gimmicks.

Curtis Axel is a much better name than Michael McGillicutty.

Billy and Chuck were hilarious. Up until the faux marriage angle ruined the gimmick, the whole pseudo-gay thing was amazing and actually seemed vaguely progressive for WWE. That's the only time I've ever really enjoyed Billy Gunn doing anything.

It also brought to light that Vince or whatever WWE writer apparently believed gay bars were literally filled with fully-bearded men wearing bad wigs and dresses over jeans (because gay = transvestite in his mind), so that was kind of funny in a really wrong and awful way.

It's mainly because he kept getting pushes when the crowd clearly wanted none of it. From his KOTR win to "The One" Billy Gunn and on, he just did zero as a single star.

Oh, I gotta say something nice... uh... well Billy & Chuck were awesome.

I miss Otunga's bow-tie wearing, coffee-slurping lawyer character. I think he would fit in great with the authority.

Aksana getting caught in a net and then dancing in NXT was pretty funny.

Alex Riley had a cool letterman jacket and he made me laugh when he threw powder in the air during his entrance. It was like he couldn't get pyro so he made his own :)

Michael Tarver looked really intimidating.

Erick Rowan looks like a crazy murderman sometimes, like when he throws people 10 feet in the air.

Ryback and Axel's current antics have really turned me around on them.

Jack Swagger's in-ring abilities more than make up for his lack of character.

Ric Flair was entertaining as hell, and has had some incredible matches against some incredible opponents. Note past tense.

He, um, also provides a great deal of schadenfreude, if you're into that kind of thing. Note present tense.

The only way Rob Van Dam could get more ridiculously 90's would be if he snowboarded his way to the ring and was drawn by Jim Lee, but he still can do some awesome poo poo in the context of a wrestling match.

Shane Douglas was in a really fun tag feud with Ricky Steamboat against Steve Austin and Brian Pillman.

Good for Chavo Guerrero for being part of the Smackdown Six.

I like the idea of "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan as a patriotic idiot man-child with retard strength.

Kevin Nash seems like a fun guy to hang out with.

Konnan deserves his spot in the Observer HOF.

I really liked Chavo when he was in WCW, when he was being bullied by Eddie and also when he had his little horse Pepe

WWE could learn a thing or two from that, here was a midcard guy doing entertaining stuff that I remember to this day. I will always remember Chavo's feud with Norman over him throwing Pepe into the wood chipper.

I thought it was funny when the Nasty Boys would do the pit stop to jobbers.

Wade Barrett has all the tools to be a great heel.

Bill DeMott may be a huge piece of poo poo but I always get a kick out of seeing him pull off a moonsault.

Say what you will about Disco Inferno but his parody of Konnan's rap video always puts a smile on my face. Oil of Olay all day everyday!
