Tough choice... Titus isn't great in ring but he's fine as one half of a tag team... (although supposedly he wanted to split from PTP in the first place because he thought he'd be a solo star...) Strowman is really new and still doing the indestructible monster schtick which is tough for anyone to really make work. I really can't remember Rowan ever doing anything except for a spin kick and eating pins... but that could just be my faulty memory again... also usually teaming with Luke Harper who is one of the best in the company might just be making him look worse... Mark Henry. He's always been terrible, including during his bizarrely praised World title run. It's the lowest the World title has ever sunk. proves that your never the only person again I don't think I'd go it's the lowest it's ever sunk...but I was not a fan.

Henry, Kane and Show don't belong on the list. Kind of baffled at the Henry hate in particular, I don't get how anyone can objectively call him terrible. Yeah, he's a big dude with a limited power moveset, but there's a long list of guys in that vein who've been far worse.
Titus certainly hasn't set the world on fire as a solo act, but he's better at tag team psychology than many. Since the post doesn't say "singles wrestler" specifically, I'd remove him from the list too.
As for Strowman, I agree that we can't really judge until he moves out of the immovable object stage of his career. Can't say someone sucks at riding a bicycle until the training wheels are off and we see for sure.
So for the listed guys, it comes down to Rowan and Ryback for me. Ryback has a purported history of hurting guys and trying unnecessarily risky stuff, but like Titus, I thought he worked really well in a tag team. Rowan doesn't seem as good at tag team pacing etc. and has quite possibly the shallowest moveset on the roster, but for my money, he can tell as good a story in the ring as Ryback without the Ahmed-Johnson-esque risk of f***ing guys up.
I guess as much as I loved Rybaxel, I'd have to grudgingly give the Big Guy the award here. Sometimes it's not how many moves you can do, but how well you actually do them.

I definitely think Kane deserves a mention.
A few years ago I'd say he seemed to age well but ever since his Corporate Kane run he's looked really slow and laboured in the ring, despite being in the best shape he's been in years.
He gets a bit of a break because of his age but Big Show is almost as old and more likely to become slow and sluggish but Show moves around a lot faster and has actually had some pretty good 1-on-1 matches the last few years.
