I hated Goldberg growing up. I was never realy a fan of Jericho either.

A bit of "warm up"...
* Carlito: nice catchphrase, ok springboard, terrible character/delivery * Shelton Benjamin: great athlete, interesting like a traffic jam. * Chris Masters: good physique, what else? * Bobby Lashley: see Benjamin+Masters * Ken Kennedy: says his name twice, hinted a bit of potential, became awfully boring and generic
Now some bigger names:
* Goldberg: just another big guy, but this time he dominates for ages instead of eventually becoming a beatable "unbeatable monster" * Brock Lesnar: strong, powerful and dull * Booker T: never got the appeal. Too generic to me * CM Punk: dangerously approaching Booker's territory, despite his cult following * Randy Orton: despite multiple pushes, I've yet to find a reason to care either way about him
And some blasphemy to wrap it up
* Dusty Rhodes: it may be his Polka Dots stint in WWF, it may be his accent, his "physique" or his style, but I've never got all the appeal of the American Dream. Not even in retrospect,
* Rey Mysterio: awesome the first month, ok the first year, but now the "underdog effect" is dead and buried. I can't buy into him defeating guys twice his size. Exposes the business and bores me.

* CM Punk: dangerously approaching Booker's territory, despite his cult following his "cult following" is from his time in ROH, IWA Mid-South, etc. no matter how much of KENTA-knockoff WWE makes Punk, they can never erase who he was or what he did in the indies (thank god for video tapes)

I find myself fast-forwarding Cody Rhodes matches, the guy bores me.

Randy Orton is boring, after he lost the belt to HHH, I never got back into him again Chris Masters liked him at first, that faded quick since he's so boring as well Rey Mysterio, only since Cole can't shut up about him
I don't know how hard these guys are pushed anymore, Randy I know has the belt but I really can't get into them.

"The Wall" from WCW comes to mind for me. He was Alex Wright's body guard one minute, and the next, they're pushing him to the moon as if he was The Rock. I didn't get it at all.

Orton has the belt, gets beat up a lot, usually gets his revenge when his opponent have their guard down, and usually just escapes with the title by the skin of his teeth. Mysterio's bouncing around the midcard, facing a lot of different guys. Masters got canned.

He didn't get that big of a push, really. He was just built up as a monster that's all. It's not like he won the World Title or anything. Speaking of that era, I never bought into Kidman's push, seemed forced,IMO as he didn't have the charisma to make fans care about his matches.

I'm also not a fan of Michelle McCool, who could suck the excitement out of a show with a 10 second sentence. She is the dullest and least appealing of all Divas. But, at least she's graduated beyond giving constant clotheslines in her matches.
Santino Marella and Maria can disappear from Raw and I wouldn't even notice. Why he gets a half-assed push I'll never know. He's not funny.
The only difference between Cody Rhodes and a Tough Enough winner is Cody has name value. He has 5 basic moves and his physique resembles the generic wrestler "You" in Acclaim's WrestleMania Challenge NES game. Now, if they had him come out announced as "You" on Raw, I'd mark to no end. That would be epic. Imagine being annouced like this:
"The winner, and NEW WWE Heavyweight Champion....You!"
I would love that.

Mysterio's bouncing around the midcard, facing a lot of different guys. Masters got canned. Randy Orton in his Evolution days was a heel you wanted to see beaten within an inch of his smug little life. He got the shaft after he beat Benoit (something HHH couldn't do) and then we saw him get revenge, after that as a babyface he sucked and his matches with Hunter sucked too. Afterwords I never cared again and he usually gets into hot water backstage for one reason or another and they keep getting him chances. Mysterio, I dunno again as I stated with Mysterio you get Cole and he is awful as an announcer and after that crap with Eddie, Dominic and Eddie's death and his awful title run I never got into him again either. THe less said about Masters the better. Liked him until he did his masterlock challenge (ie early on) and kept pushing and pushing and after his reappearence, ugh. I liked him a little since his work got a little better but it was too late. Just to clarify a bit.

Jeff Hardy, I just absolutely hate that stupid f***ing dance he does during his entrance. It totally kills anything I could see in the dude.
Kennedy f***ed himself when he lied about doing roids. I watched Smackdown! a couple times just to watch him, he seemed like he was on his way to the top.
Cody Rhodes is pretty lame.
Big Daddy V, I agree with everything anyone has said about him. He's been around forever, mostly being a jobber, but suddenly he's a bad ass?
Santino Marella is f***ing hilarious!
CM Punk. I don't dig ROH or any of that shit, but I've heard about him way too much. He's alright, but straight-edge blows! *drinks Heineken and smokes a Swisher*
Hulk Hogan? C'MON NOW!!! G.O.A.T.
