I couldn't stand the Lex Express.
You & me both. It was a desperate attempt by WWE to make him into the big face hero like Hogan. That sure as hell didn't work.

Right now:

Kofi
Nexus/Corre and anyone who has been part of them - Barrett and Punk excepted, I have no time for the rest of them.  Although saying that, I quite like Zeke Jackson, they could do something with him, as long as they keep him off the mic.
McIntyre
Kozlov
DH Smith or Tyson Kidd
Sheamus

Pretty much any of the lower card guys, there's only one or two who show any potential.

Kofi Kingston has become a bore, ever since he dropped the Jamaican gimmick. What's the point? The whole character (from the entrance to his finishing move) is based on his being from the island of paradise.



Anyone see the promo when HHH and Kofi were in the ring, Kofi starts talking perfect english and HHH says "Hey didn't you have an accent?"

Also who would win in a match, Khali vs Giant Gonzalez?........no one they would both put each other to sleep

Khali would win hands down.
From what I hear, Gonzalez isn't looking so hot these days.

It seems strange that were all pointing to Kofi, yet creative have him wearing a strap right now. The desperate move of rotating the title reigns that has become customary within the last decade is a real slap in the face to any champion that earned his spot back in the day.

It's easier to list the wrestlers that i can actually get into however the worst ones right now IMo are:

Kofi, Dolph, Samoa Joe, both Hardy's, Daniel Bryan, both Dynasty members, TNA's Anderson (WWE's used to be amazing)......actually this list is going to take quite some time

Vince tries to keep a strap on an african american or foreign national due to problems he had in the past with EOC.......sounds crazy but very true.

Kozlov could have had the strap but his character was buried (surprise surprise) and is now a laughing stock. If he wants to put over an AA then surely Jackson could be the man to lead the way? Keep him as a quiet killer type, few words and all action - he has the size and presence to carry it off with the right backstage support.

The 1 character i couldnt buy above all was Umaga, from the moment he debuted all i could think of was 3 second warning. His spike was ridiculous and his aura of invincibility offended me as i dont see why he was pushed so hard only to be buried (a'la Kozlov)

Are you kidding? Umaga was great, especially when he has "Arrrrrrrmandooooooo Alejaaaaaaaandooooooo Essssstttaaaaaaaaaaadaaa aa" as his manager.

He was like a cross between the Tazmanian Devil and Rikishi. Think about it. Jeff Hardy didn't really get the singles push he did, until his feud with Umaga.

Jeff Jarrett. I see nothing about him that merits main event status.

Funny you mention that.
I never cared for Jarrett, either.
In fact, I didn't even care enough about him to place him on this list until you brought it up. LOL

His ring work is nothing spectacular.
And, that southern dialect kind of kills his delivery in promos.

And this is the exact reason why he fits in better with TNA and the old WCW back in the day. In WWE, as Honky TOnk Man put it, his best noteriety was only when he had "the big titted broad"...aka Debra.
