He has a long way to go before he is Angle 2.0, it seems that is the route they were going but it didn't work out. Not Swaggers fault per se, WWE needs better booking. But overall I like his style, his gimmick, his brash arrogance. The main thing he needs work on is his overall mic work. He is limited, though I will admit he workss well with what he has. He could have handled his World Title run better, I could tell he was nervous everytime he cut a promo. He is getting better and better though.

Fat, lazy incredibly annoying with his best days behind him. The Hardy Boyz are one of the most popular duos of all time, everyone loved them back in the attitude era but here and now Jeff has outshone Matt. The older Hardy has always been in his shadow while being the better wrestler he lacks everything else and makes up for it by whining on the internet to his dwindling fanbase.

I honestly think she is one of the better female wrestlers of this current generation. She has the skills, and her move set is extremly impressive. Between NWA, ROH and Shimmer it is a head scratcher that she hasn't made it to the WWE. I always thought she should have been a prominent figure in TNA, she had some good bouts with Kong on the indy circuit, I thought that would have been neat to see on national tv in a high profile knockouts program. The only thing holding her back is her lack of passion. I heard she is a microbiologist or something. That's good for her but if she wants to get on the world level, she needs to focus more on her in ring career.

I used to think he was cool, then I grew up. He couldn't wrestle, couldn't talk. He had the big muscly body which was the it factor for the WWF in the 80's/early 90's so he got the title. He is a prick in real life, and no one liked him while he was in the WWF (as evidenced by his dvd), I can't recall a memorable match he had besides the Hogan one at WM, and that was more because of the buildup and the fact that the 2 megastar faces were facing each other...definitely not because it was a great match.

"We’re fighting because Anderson doesn’t want to fight me. Anderson trained with Munoz, he got destroyed by Munoz, he doesn’t want to fight Mark. Ed Soares, Anderson’s manager, worked diligently behind the scenes to make Mark and I fight each other. So I don’t have a big problem fighting Mark. my resentment is that Anderson got his way.”
Has anyone botched more moves and promo's than Psycho Sid? That guy was always awful. Like Nash, he got over on his size and appearance. And also had to the fact that he is unreliable, it's no wonder his career is dead. He has constantly no-showed indy events in the past, letting down what little fans he has.

He calls himself "The Greatest Man That Ever Lived." Is it true? Not by a long shot, but he is an exceptional wrestler and manager. Austin Aries is the only two time ROH world champion, and he accomplished that feat because he is very good in the ring, either as a straight forward baby-face or an arrogant, cowardly heel. Some people call him a circus performer, but I like his style. He does high-risk stuff, but he can chain wrestle as well. He is also great on the mic as a heel. Just go re-watch his recent feud with Tyler Black for evidence. Aries is now mostly just managing Kenny King and Rhett Titus, but his promos putting the guys over are good and are doing a lot to give the duo more credibility. Hopefully Aries will return to TNA and win some gold in the future.

She's stated various times in interviews she has no desire to join WWE or TNA with the state of their supposed "women's wrestling" divisions, can't blame her but it is a shame the world won't get to see what she can do.

I have only seen a handful of his matches. I do enjoy his clean, fluid style and his erratic behavior in matches. He just looses it and is a solid entertainer. I am positive that the combination of his mask/beard is what inspired CM Punks post-Wrestlemania 26 look. I remember his match with CM Punk in IWA, it had me in stiches. He plays to the crowd very nicely.

Can't say I blame her either but how awesome would it have been to see her in the knockouts division before Russo, Hogan and Bischoff buried it? She would have been a nice fit with formal rival Awesome Kong, ODB, Tara, The Beautiful People. The more I talk about the sadder I am about the current state of the Knockouts division. It was my favorite thing about TNA.

He is the FCW champion, so I guess he's good. I've only seen two matches, and that's just to keep this thread going. Mason Ryan looks like Dave Batista during his early days in the WWE. He mostly uses power moves, with his finisher being either a full nelson slam or the torture rack. His match against Richie Steamboat was really good, mostly thanks to Steamboat (now I'm looking forward to Richie Steamboat climbing the ranks). Maybe the WWE should sign Rob Terry so he and Mason can form the Welsh Warriors or something.
I never really liked him and I am not sure why. I think it is because he is tall but he really doesn't use it. Yes, he does some moves a guy his size shouldn't do but still it just seems like he is not believable. He has had many shots and I think most of them don't work at all, he was in the WWE and he had a nice gimmick going as the future but it didn't work for some reason not sure why but whatever. Then he goes to TNA and he has done absolutely nothing for me. I just think he is one of those guys that could have been a lot more but he never will be.
He may not be the best in the world, but he is one of the best. He has had some phenomenal matches all over the world, whether it's in Japan against guys like KENTA, the US independents against guys like Tyler Black and Nigel McGuinness, or any place in between. Sure, his WWE career has been rocky, but that doesn't discount his previous ten years of experience. Danielson has solid matches and can chain wrestle with the best of them. Plus, he can brawl or fly, so he's incredibly versatile. People doubt his mic skills, but his feud with Michael Cole and the Miz have probably changed some opinions. If not, then hopefully he'll have new feuds to continue showcasing his talent. Also hoping to see a Cattle Mutilation again.
Again I don't like womens wrestling as much as I think that it is boring. But she makes in interesting to watch because she in my eyes can tell a story. Finally the WWE is seeing this and giving her a push and having her fight for the title. With that it shows us what she can do in the ring and hell she holds up fine. Also being part of the Hart family I think helps her as people expect a lot from her and she actually shows it. I want to see more of her in the ring because unlike the rest of the Divas she is actually a good worker.
He is awesome, but I don't see why he got the push before Morrison did. The Miz is extremely talented on the mic but only moderately talented in the ring, although he has come along way from his tough enough days. I do respect him for proving his naysayers wrong, as his career is already bigger than that of those who picked on him back stage.
