If you had to pick a few underdogs on the roster who are your guys (or girls) so to speak -- people you really want to succeed and always rooting for when they are jobbing or in a bad angle or just killing it -- who are they and why? These aren't people who are in ideal spots or as far as they can go.
For me, Daniel Bryan is number one. Kind of weird to pick a former WHC, but I think the chances that he gets to hold the WWE title and run with it are slim (plus he's small), so he'd be my top choice.
I also really want to see Wade Barrett get a good run with the WWE title, too. Ideally, in a feud against Bryan. He's still moving up the roster so I'd call him an underdog for now.
R-Truth also deserves another big heel run. I feel like the guy's been forgotten about. I'd make him a top heel. Never give him the belt, so he would have a reason to pine over it and fight for it for a long time.
Lastly, Kofi could make a really good cocky, MVP-style heel on a run with the WHC if he was given the opportunity. It'd be cool to see him play a merciless heel instead of happy-go-lucky face.

I do think of some underdogs I like who deserve the spot they are in now. Sin Cara, for example. I love the dude's style and hope he succeeds, but there is no way he is worth seriously pushing up the card right now.

Tyson Kidd, Justin Gabriel, Hunico, and Ted Junior. I know none of them are headed anywhere anytime soon, but whenever they're allowed on television, I perk up because I know the match is gonna be good.

JTG. He just needs a chance to do SOMETHING.

I can't ever root against Christian.
Seriously, no matter who you put him in the ring with I'll pull for the guy.

Santino - Comedy wrestlers getting into situations beyond their abilities never gets old
Otunga because the poor guy is doomed the moment he fights anybody of note, most of the time he's not even evil
Ricardo if he counts
I'm not sure I class anybody else I like as underdogs.
Edit: I forgot Christian, he's the best since HBK at wrestling that underdog style even if he's not really a true underdog (if that makes sense).

Santino sometimes, depends on the situation with him.
Christian I always cheered for except for when he was feuding with Regal.
Evan Bourne was a great underdog I usually ended up cheering for.
Tensai currently. I want him to win and become a good midcarder like he should be.

Can't believe I forgot Hunico. Love that guy.
I also want Tensai to steer his ship right. I believe he will make up for his lackluster 2012 this year.
Also, have Justin Gabriel's mic skills improved at all over the last year? If so, he's on my list. If not, then whatever.

Also A-Ri
He's not the best in the ring but I just think he has the it factor. He connects so well with the live audience which shows by the fact people still want to cheer him even after he has been jobbed out so badly.
WWE creative, if you've got any sense. Push A-Ri! Have him as the go-to guy for midcard title shots and runs instead of Kofi Kingston whose ship has sailed. A-Ri could be a star. Push him.
