Yoshi Tatsu: 6/10

When he was in ECW we saw flashes of brilliance from him. He was also good in Japan but I never saw any matches from him over there so I can't really comment on it. I think that he can be good but not sure if he will get there. What is holding him back is the language in my eyes. Yes, he has worked on it but it is hard to give someone a push that is not good in English. Also not to mention as soon as he got on RAW he was pretty much pushed to become a comedy star. Which sucks because like I said I think that he is immensely talented. If ECW was still around he would probably be fighting for the ECW title. But now that he is on RAW he will always be lost in the shuffle in my eyes.

Next Wrestler: John Cena (Should be a good one)

[Sabin Shelley Army]

John Cena is a special case so he gets two votes:

Ten year old review:

John Cena: 10/10

John Cena is the BESTEST. You can't see him!!111!!! His time is now.
He has cool t-shirts and talks about stuff that's funny. I want the new purple shirt, but I have the orange one. You can't see me either. LoLs!!!! Cena always comes back and defeats everyone. He never loses in the end. You cant see me!!@@

Real Review

John Cena: 7/10

I don't care about Cena. His matches are good when he's in there with a good worker (like Swagger, Jericho, or even Justin Gabriel if you saw that one). Someone else has to dominate the action in order for the match to be good since his move set is mostly limited to a few power moves and one or two submissions at most. For what it's worth, Cena has managed to put his limited ring work to good use. It also helps that he is booked as superman, since it's easier for the masses to rally around a winner that is always booked strongly.

The reason why Cena is money is because of his attitude and mic work. I'm not a fan of his promos either since the comedy isn't particularly funny (sometimes it is, but sometimes it's lame or too juvenile). Regardless, he gets the crowd behind him. He can switch gears from intense, to silly, to other emotions seamlessly, so he gets credit there.

Cena's attitude is also a selling point since he is willing to go all out to promote the WWE. Doing interviews, making movies, signing autographs, or whatever, he does so without putting the WWE in a negative light because of a chip on his shoulder or anything like that.

So Cena gets a 7/10. Again, I'm not a fan, but it's easy to see why Vince keeps him as the poster boy of the WWE. (No, I don't have a Cena shirt.)

Next Wrestler: John Morrison

[Killswitch]

John Morrison: 5.5/10

I used to be a fan of Morrison when he was a part of MNM. Then also when he came out with this gimmick when he was in ECW. Then when he was with The Miz I was a fan. But, now he has not been good for me, I just think that he is one of those stars that will never reach the potential that many people set forth for him. He has had some good matches just look back at the match he had with Evan Bourne in ECW. That, was probably my favorite match from ECW. But then I think right after that he became lame to me. He cannot talk on the mic at all to save his life, which is very shameful, because he has the in ring talent. If he worked on his mic skills he could be something huge, because he has had good feuds, but now looking back at it you can see that The Miz carried that team. Morrison, I think now will be one of those guys we see on TV but look away to do something else because we will never see something special from him again.

Next Wrestler: Kane

[Sabin Shelley Army]

Kane: 6/10

A two time world heavyweight champion and ECW champion among other things, The Big Red Machine has made his career as the twisted, evil monster that destroys everything and feels no remorse. That may sound good on paper, but Kane has spent a lot of his time as a mid-carder with an unimpressive win loss record. Kane's most interesting moments are when he storms down to the ring and just destroys people for no reason and then sets off the flames on the turn-buckles. A lot of people are enjoying his current run on top since his promos have been very dramatic for weeks now. I'm not really into it, but Kane definitely has been revitalized again.

Next Wrestler: Rey Mysterio Jr.

[Killswitch]

Rey Mysterio Jr. 7.5/10

I know I am doing a lot of these but I love talking about wrestlers and my opinions on them. Mysterio is the underdog of all underdogs. I don't know about him but he is good in the ring and to be honest he is not to bad on the mic. I don't like how they pushed him though. It was just pretty unbelievable in my eyes. Where would have he been if Eddie hadn't died? I know that is a very strange question to ask but one you should in some ways I guess. I think that he is good and he does draw the fans because of what he does. The kids love him and right now that is where the WWE is headed. Mysterio I don't think should be in the World Title hunt, I think right now it would be better off if he was in a low profile feud kind of like he is in now with Del Rio. That pushes someone else and keeps Mysterios name relevant.

Next Wrestler: Justin Gabriel

[partedelaraza]

Justin Gabriel 7/10

Coming out of NXT he was my least favorite, cause he didnt really show much of attitude. But right now he has done a 180. He has the look, the skill, and now the attitude. His future in my eyes is looking bright, especially after this Monday's Raw.

Next Wrestler: Layla

[Killswitch]

Layla: 5/10

Well I am in love with her. Besides that though she really is not that good in the ring but she has worked hard at it. She has gotten a lot better and I think that you can see it very easily. She has a very good thing going with McCool and she has shown that she can be good on the mic. I just think that she needs to work harder at it but then again she is a WWE diva and she does one thing and one thing good and that is she has the looks.

Next Wrestler: Heath Slater

[partedelaraza]

Heath Slater 7/10

Well let me start by saying that Heath completely annoyed the shit out of me on NXT. One of my least favorite when NXT began. Especially with his head hair twirls and the whole one man rock band thing. Pissed me off half the time. Though completely changed my opinion with his work rate. The guy is solid in the ring and his mic work, though not there yet, will improve with time. The guy can be a serious prospect down the line. If given the chance.

Next Wrestler: The Fighting Irishmen Fit Finley

[Killswitch]

Finlay 7/10

This guy just has a great work ethic. You have to love him because he does anything and everything the WWE asks him to do. He helps people out unlike other people and it is awesome. I love it because when you see him come to the ring you know he might lose but he is still pushing people and helping them make their names bigger. Finlay, is someone that you have to admire and he might not get the biggest pop but he does what he does and he is good at it. He is given crap for gimmicks but he still does his best and you have to love it. Finlay, is one of those stars you want to work with, and someone that I feel most of the locker room gets a long with.

Next Wrestler: Triple H

[Sabin Shelley Army]

HHH 7.5/10

Time to play the game. To be honest, I'm not a real fan of HHH. I thought he was great when he debuted in 1995 with his aristocratic snob gimmick. That was his best period. Those introductory promos were great, and I still remember a lot of his lines. By the time HHH switched over to "Ode to Joy" as his theme song, it was all over. I had already stopped watching the WWF by that time. Anyway, when the blue blood gimmick ended, HHH formed DX with Shawn Michaels, Chyna, and Rick Rude. HHH eventually took leadership of the group and became a mufti-time world champion. He also led the group Evolution with Batista, Orton, and Flair as his collaborators. HHH has been in more main events than just about anyone in the WWE. He has almost matched Ric Flairs record for world title reigns. Some of his success can be attributed to his family ties (he's married to Stephanie McMahon). His in ring style has remained the same over the years, so you can predict his next move a lot of the time. Love him or hate him, HHH knows how to play the baby-face or the heel and draw heat.

Next Wrestler (classic edition): The Pirate Jean Pierre Lafitte

[Killswitch]

The Pirate Jean Pierre Lafitte 6/10

I don't know much about him. I know that he was a great tag team wrestler and he was in my eyes entertaining to watch in that role. I thought that he was a good wrestler and he had some good moves. Other than that I don't know much about him and I feel very shameful that I can't have a bigger review on him.

Next Wrestler: CM Punk

[Sabin Shelley Army]

CM Punk 8/10

"This is real. This is Straight Edge!!!" Yes, I know he yelled that out in ROH, but the gimmick (well it's not a gimmick, it's his lifestyle) lives on in the WWE. CM Punk is the first ever straight edge world heavyweight champion in the history of the WWE (well, there may have been others that lived the lifestyle, but they didn't call themselves Straight Edge). CM Punk came into the WWE after spending a few months in OVW, the WWE's old developmental territory. He officially debuted on TV in ECW against Justin Credible at the Hammerstein Ballroom, and the crowd definitely remember him. It took a while (mostly due to having little support backstage after Heyman left), but CM Punk was eventually able to win the ECW title. Punk also extended his success by winning Money in the Bank twice and then cashing in to win the title twice (against Edge and Hardy). Punk never lost his first title (taken away for not competing due to "injury"), but he lost his second title to the Undertaker. Punk was able to turn heel during his feud with Jeff Hardy and return to his angry, "better than you" straight edge character. Punk eventually started the Straight Edge Society with Luke Gallows, Serena, and Joey Mercury. The group is now in jeopardy since Serena was released and Mercury is now injured.


Next wrestlers: The Dude Busters (Caylen Croft and Trent Baretta)

[Team Punishment]

I have only seen The Dudebusters a few times, they seem like another WWE manufactured team with no real purpose other than to wrestle as a tag team without being in contention. Jobber to the stars could be a term used for them, I know the WWE have given them the cool guys gimmick but bar some pre match promos they haven't really had time to develop characters and engage the WWE Universe. They had a run on WWECW, but now they rarely wrestle on Smackdown and most the time are on Superstars. Watching them wrestle, they are decent and I believe they could have good matches with teams if given the time but I don't think they will amount to anything yet, they are still in FCW as well developing but I can't judge them too harshly yet because WWE are not giving them a chance to amount to anything big yet (as in a number one contenders match or even a storyline) so I'll give them 5/10. But this 5 isn't because they are terrible, it's a 5 because I haven't seen a lot of them through my own viewing and WWE not using them a lot, and because they haven't had that many storylines if any.

Wrestler: Maven

[Killswitch]

Maven 4/10

I never saw the good thing about Maven. He won the first Tough Enough and he did have the look, but he was nothing special. He was a Hardcore Champion but almost everyone was when the title was defended 24/7. I just think that he was before his time as well, he should have stayed in developmental more (if he was even there.) I don't think he could really tell a story hell he had a feud with The Undertaker and it was pretty lame for the most part. I just think that Maven was a waste of time and unlike John Morrison he was not a good alum of Tough Enough.

Next Wrestler: Randy Orton

[TheSeanDBrand]

(ok before I review I just want to say that this is for giving a review on what your opinion is on the wrestler. not you writing a summary on their career like Sabin Shelly Army did on CM Punk. just sayin)

Randy Orton 8/10

What can I say. He's got it all. He's very talented in the ring. His mic skills are very good although he hasn't been using them since around 2008 when he started his whole Viper/kicking people in the head gimmick. When he was on Smackdown in 2006 and was doing his whole young and cocky gimmick thats when his mic skills were the best in my opinion. Not saying they went away. He just talks differently with his gimmick now. But he has also improved incredibly since those days. His in ring work is better and he has made himself into the most popular wrestler in the company. By literally not changing anything. What other wrestler can turn face without actually turning face??? He hasnt changed his character at all. Everybody just realized he's the friggin man. Thats what I say about him. He's awesome.

Next Wrestler: Billy Gunn
