By far, Nakamura. Charisma, personality + in ring, no one is close. If you want to see what I'm talking about, watch his Wrestle Kingdom match against Ibushi who is also an amazing talent.

I have no favorite active wrestlers right now. But then again, there's a lot of talent on the smaller circuits and in other countries that I have yet to see.

Seth Rollins. Easy question, easy answer. Has it all for what is on that particular roster right now and he is not injury prone like many others.

Sadly, I no longer watch wrestling anymore. I can't stomach the nonstop bullshit. It has become nothing more than a show built around the entertainment of an audience of one person and that person being VKM. His "story lines" now days is only a step up from Russo's crap.

The one thing that is being done right is Brock's championship reign. He brought a little respect back to the title. Having the champ defend it on tv for free each week or in a tag match up only lowered it's value.

Of course, the IC title is now a complete joke and has been for a long time. Whoever gets that strap is destined to lose every single week cleanly in non title matches.

Mizdow was the most entertaining thing on tv and they are fucking it up now. Had a lot of potential.

Ziggler must have run over the family dog as he has every skill set and tools needed but can't catch a decent break.

New Day? Proof that VKM does shit just to embarrass his employees on purpose.

Rollins is good, but this J and J security crap is awful and doing nothing for him.

Roman is being shoved down everyone's throat and won't amount to a hill of beans in six months because of it.

^^^Excellent post and I completely agree. Vince wanted complete control of the wrestling world. Now he's got it. There's no more competition. Now look at the product.

WWE is a corporate name now. The PG era bullshit is awful. Wrestling will never go back to what it once was. It's a shame, too. I grew up with fond memories of the wrestling in the 80's both WWF, NWA and WCW. Hell, even the AWA was great to watch back in the day too.

Now I'm sad after posting this. Fuck.

Even a prime Big Poppa Pump would shed a tear.

WTF is up with that there are ZERO current wrestlers with Mic skills??? I can't watch anyone of the new crop without either crying , laughing or changing the channel

I try.. I really do try to get into current crop.. but its sickening and sad at the same time

Like watching a train wreck in slow motion

It's pure shit. It really is. The best move they can make is to continue to bring back the old stars for guest appearances. The Rock is always great and still very relevant. That's their ace in the hole. Along with a John Cena hell turn, which may never happen because of his merchandise sales.

I don't watch regularly but Bray Wyatt seems pretty interesting.

Wyatt is phenomenal. I just hope they don't do something stupid like get him to job to a 50yr old Undertaker at WM31 just to feed egos.

WWE is a sad state. There is no buildup to any WM matches.

Brock vs Reigns - the big mystery behind this is...will Brock resign.

Wyatt v UT....I feel Wyatt came out 2 yrs ago with a bang, lost to Cena last year and lost his luster. I think WWE toned him down as he may have been a little to macabre for the Public company.

The Ladder match probably has my best interest.

Andre battle royal is great for wrestlers to at least be in the big show and make a few dollars but what does it really do for the winner? Caesaro.......nuff said.

Orton vs Rollins will be a good match but I have zero interest in Orton...

Thin Lizzy · « **Reply #11 on:** March 22, 2015, 04:53:46 PM »

A lot of the WWE's problems stem from a too long Raw. At three hours, everything is stretched to the point of absurdity. The wrestlers are all over-exposed, and nothing is important other than filling up the time.

littleguns · « **Reply #12 on:** March 26, 2015, 03:23:21 AM »

And of course a tug of war over the belt last Monday..cmon....Brock is the baddest man on the planet and Reigns is supposed to be a bad ass.

The segment should have been:

Reigns signs contract, points at WM banner and walks away OR, let them go at it for a few minutes, security comes in and breaks them up....

Writing is so bad....

It's become a chore to watch WWE programming.

I would've gone with your second option. Reigns come into the ring, face palms Brock to show lack of fear. Brock loses it. They brawl. Reigns gets the best of it, as most don't think he could really beat Brock. Then, security arrives. They both throw security around then brawl again. More security arrives until there's enough to keep them apart.

Either that or they have a contest to see who can make the sillier face

Its not about burying Bryan. Its the fact that DB has a bad neck and he only did a quickfix to it as opposed to a long term multiple surgery fix. WWE upper brass is worried he will re-injure himself.

I liked the way they introduced Neville. They presented as what he is: a special kind of athlete.

Hopefully, they bring him along slowly.

saw neville in person guy is amazing, but he's short with zero mic skills so it's hard to say how far he can go.

I didn't realize how short he was until he stood across from Rollins who towered over him. Rollins is only 6'1 - 6'2".

You can develope an athlete, but you cannot develope charisma. Your either born with it or not.

Neville is good, 2nd/3rd match they job him out to Rollins...Huh?

calfzilla · « **Reply #24 on:** August 21, 2015, 11:59:51 PM »

Right now still Bray Wyatt and also Dean Ambrose.

Neville is also worth mentioning too.
