    GOAT'd for the Usos.

    Instead of Orton, I wanted an Uso but didn't know who to choose.

    Caught up with some recent raw matches on youtube. Gonna include NXT guys cause it's still WWE and frankly the best there are better than a lot of the guys on RAW.

    Bryan - Totally deserves to be the most over guy in the game right now. Can't put on a lame and uninspired botchy match with anybody unlike recent CM Punk.

    Sami Zayn - Proof that indie guys could come into WWE and not lose a step adapting to their style in a short period of time.

    Seth Rollins - The guy has been on fire. Clearly the real in ring workhouse out of the Shield tandem and pretty much has great chemistry with everybody. Not a surprise either cause Tyler Black was always a better in ring worker than Jon Moxley and Roman Reigns is still green as hell. Only recent match that sucked was with Punk and even CM Punk himself tweeted that it was a terrible match so don't catch feelings Punk fans. Objective opinion here.

    Antonio Cesaro - Has brought some of that Kings of Wrestling hook to the WWE tag team division. He's adapted very well to working with Swagger. He was already one of the best on the roster when he was the US champ but now he's more polished and using more of the old Claudio moves (I.e. Giant swing, European uppercut) which is awesome.

    Adrian Neville - Like Generico it hasn't been tough at all for Pac to adapt to the WWE style. He's stealing the show down there.

    Cody Rhodes is finally impressing me but I don't think he's top 5 right now. Def top 10 though.

    Orton
    Usos
    Kofi
    Swagger (not lately. He's just been getting squashed)
    Big E. Yeah I said it. Him and Roman Reigns put on dope matches. Don't need all that technical ? like D. Bryan who's become repetitive IMO and like Punk who's become somewhat sloppy nowadays.

    It was a complete mess but I think his match with Reigns from a couple of weeks back was even worse. Just boring as ? . Ever since facing Lesnar CM Punk has had a lot of botches and miscommunication in his matches. Not even his opponents end up looking good. He just comes across as uninspired and it's not helped by how sloppy his finisher now looks and his WOAT Randy Savage elbow. Wouldn't be surprised to see him retire in a couple of years. Just seems like his heart is no longer really in it.

    Another dude that hasn't been mentioned in this thread is Sandow but he's been really stepping it up in ring wise. His last match with Cena was actually really good despite some botches and Cena annoyingly calling out spots loudly as usual.

    yea, i see wat u mean with punk, i think he may still be hurt and probably moreso just uninspired due to what he may not like in wwe or something, and i agree with sandow, thats why i hate how he just lost his mitb chance when they coulda pushed a new guy

    I wanted to put Big E up there but sometimes I feel like dude has the same 3 moves and the lame ass belly to belly. I want to see the big dudes have a dope ass submission move. I miss when Brock had that leg lock where he wrapped your leg around his neck or that submission move lashley used in tna. Big E needs more powerhouse moves, more military press slams, give ? powerbombs on the turnbuckle, switch up the belly to belly to belly to back, do a fisherman suplex or a fireman carry or a regular stand up suplex.

    Good to know a lot of you realize Seth Rollins is the best wrestler in the shield. His match with John Cena was GOAT.

    in ring performers in no particular order.

    Daniel Bryan
    Dolph Ziggler
    Seth Rollins
    Antonio Cesaro
    CM Punk
    Kofi would be the 6th man.

    Mic ability in no particular order, excluding guys that are away like Jericho and Rock.

    Paul Hayman
    Bray Wyatt
    CM Punk
    Dean Ambrose
    HHH

    Damn, only a few are actually good on the mic. I had to throw in Hayman and Hunter because most cut talk for ? .
