So, I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say outside of in-ring ability, this current roster overall is really, really boring, right? But who's the worst? Man or woman, who is the absolute most boring person in WWE today? Like, all around boring: they have a boring look, boring personality, cut boring promos, put on boring matches, maybe they've been riding the same gimmick for far too long, I don't know, but there's just nothing interesting about them at all.
I feel like a case could be made for Corbin, McIntyre, Lashley and Tamina on Raw, but I think I would have to give it to Orton on Smackdown. They guy hasn't changed a thing about himself in what has to be over fifteen years at this point. Same attire, same theme song, same slow, plodding matches and promos whether he's a face or a heel... even recently when he suddenly became more sadistic in his feud with Jeff Hardy didn't make him any more interesting, because he was still the exact same character, except now he liked to stick things in people's ear-holes.
Who's your pick?

Mike Kanellis (I never saw his work outside WWE, but my God this board was right. The dude is BLAND as hell) AJ Styles the last few months Drew McIntyre Bobby Roode on his own (I like the team with Gable though) Jinder Natalya Heel Alexa
If I had to pick one, Kanellis.

There's a lot of boring stars but the most boring? I wouldn't pick Orton because he can give us hype spots every few weeks. That in itself keeps him from not being the more boring guy to me. He coasts off of that and just overall being smooth in the ring. That guy thou? He's the most boring. Corbin's got the most boring look, most boring music, just everything about him is boring. I wouldn't give it to Tamina because yeah, she sucks but Tamina gives us botches which is entertaining. See, I can be entertained by botches, I can be entertained by cool spots. Corbin doesn't entertain me in any way possible and yeah it was interesting when he first joined the main roster and yeah I liked his GM run because he had entertaining promos but...nah man. Corbin couldn't even entertain us with a MITB cash-in to the point where The Modern Day Maharaja beat him. For all the shit about Jinder, yall can't say that man didn't have more, energy, a doper entrance, Jinder trashed this dude Corbin. Corbin's so boring we all forgot about that US Title run he had. Corbin's so boring we forgot that he won the ATGMBR. Corbin's winning this and that's frankly going to be the only thing he wins.

Tempted to say Drew, but the last time Corbin excited anyone, it was because we were all, "ooh, new haircut".

For me, Aleister Black Seth Rollins Randy Orton and Brock of course
Finn and The Usos as well but that depends entirely on the character
It's a shame that WWE's "It was all Corbin's fault" thing seemed to have worked. I've never seen a company throw someone under the bus for their own shortcomings like that. No, he's not gonna be having 5 star matches but I think he's a good hand and was a good heel GM.

Yeah, I'll go with Mike "I'll take a piece of plain white bread, thank you, maybe with a glass of water on the side for dipping!" Kanellis on this one.

Drew McIntyre at least looks like the evil priest of a low budget vampire movie made by a dude recruiting his ren fair friends and I get to crack Vampire: The Masquerade jokes when he's around. I can also conceive of a way where Drew can be good. Lashley is terrible right now but honestly a lot of that shit is comically bad; I don't know why he's showing us his ass but it's something. What the f*** does Baron Corbin bring to the table? Even his look is just doing Corey Graves's "I'm trying to mix my rock aesthetic with business" shit significantly worse.

I don't know if I would vote for Corbin, Lashley, or Drew individually, but their three man band alliance has been the most boring thing ever.

You know, Corbin said that he's eventually going to get flames on his head like Bam Bam did so I think we need to pitch in and help pay for that because honestly that'll spice his look up a little. Dude's got nothing going for him. I want Corbin to just be the new American Badass or Big Evil. Just go ahead and do that shit.

I do find it weird that Xpac got shit for being the same character for too long but guys like Orton are coming up on like 10 years of the same old thing.

Flame tattoos and an ABA-esque look would definitely do miracles for him. He had more going for him with the pants and worn jacket covered in patches than he has now. If he's not going to even try being an authority figure anymore he needs to drop that respectability shit and go all out on it.

I don't think being dollar store Taker will help his cause, he doesn't have the presence to pull it off.

If he's not going to even try being an authority figure anymore he needs to drop that respectability shit and go all out on it. Yeah he's dressing all nice like he's still part of the Authority when the reality is no, he's just a superstar now. We're going to hear some interesting interview lines about this current period from him. This period will be his "dark" period, absolutely. He needs to transition into his next phase. Just something as simple as switching to one of his Shopzone shirts would do him some good. I don't think being dollar store Taker will help his cause, he doesn't have the presence to pull it off. He's not pulling his current look off lol.

I get a kick out of Corbin continuing to wear his business attire cause it feels like he's living in denial and clinging onto the memories of when he was calling the shots. You've gotta connect your own dots pretty often with this company and this theory amuses me.
Also sort of reminiscent of when Bill Dauterive kept wearing the Santa suit months after Christmas.
