Orton goes through the motions a lot for sure, but he still has his moments. Serial killer Orton was entertaining and he recently had a really good match with Ali. As boring as I find AJ right now, I'm also looking forward to their match.

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. 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. Agreed. He should lose the TGI Fridays outfit, but copying Taker won't help either. Like you said, going back with his t-shirts and ring gear would be an improvement. He needs to find a unique look, the flame tattoos might just work. Bam Bam has been gone for a long time, and Corbin doesn't resemble him in any other way. |

Easily Corbin. He brings out the absolute worst in the guys he's with. Braun has lost a ton of stock just being around the guy.

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. Difference being that XPac's whole character was "cool guy" and it served as a very dated timestamp in only a couple of years. I think it didn't help that his name and imaged was so tied into D-X. It'd be like if Roman was named "Shield Man", kept talking about justice and believing the shield, and he did even less to change his look. |

If he dressed biker-ish I don't think there would be any problem. Bikertaker is so far out of today's realm that people won't mind especially given WWE themselves don't really bring Bikertaker up like the past. All Corbin would need to do is throw on a beanie or banana and dress like he normally dresses, maybe get a better coat and he'll be good.  Just give him a dope jacket over it and give him his own shirt and he'll be fine. |

Yeah, being a SHIELD time capsule hurt Roman too but his little bit of advancement was a whole hell of a lot more than Waltman's. That guy was the equivalent of a Jr High friend who still acted and looked the same all through highschool. With as fast as things moved for what was "hip" at any given point in the late 90s and early 2000s, the dude was an embarassing yearbook photo in human form. Lookin back now it's not nearly as bad so newer fans can't place how outdated he felt so quickly and probably don't see the problem, but at the time? Yikes. |

I feel like the end was when Tori turned on Kane for X-Pac. It just seems like that was everyone's, "I am officially over this guy" moment. |

That and X-Factor's really all I remember from X-Pac around then. |

I might go with Roode. Besides his theme, everything about him is unremarkable.

Corbin. He's just not fun to watch and once you have seen one of his matches you've seen them all. Fell asleep a few times watching him.

It's Corbin by a looooong shot. I can't believe they keep pushing the guy. He's so inexcusably unbelievably terrible.

His theme song makes you expect a dude with Undertaker's gimmick and Brock Lesnar's power, and then out comes Baron Corbin...

Lashley. My word he's always been a void of charisma a and it's just getting worse.
EC3 is up there too and The Revival. Shelton too.

Baron Corbin.
I’ve lost interest due to Stephanie before, but I’ve never turned the channel the instant someone comes on like I do with Corbin. I’ll straight up forget to turn it back too. That dude is the worst.

AJ Styles is legit the most boring man alive. Watching AJ Styles in 2019 is like your first month on anti depressants before your brain's adjusted where you just feel like you're chilling in the morgue 24/7. AJ Styles is wrestling's answer to waiting an hour for the bus because you just missed that shit. Every time AJ Styles has a -5000 speed indy standoff like 5 minutes in to a match, a cuddly baby swan having the time of its life suddenly thinks "f***, dude, I gotta go to bed"

It’s Bobby Roode.
Though if Lashley didn’t have Lio Rush following him around it would be a toss up.

Boring Corbin.
I named him that for a reason.
All he is is tall. That's it.
Oh and once in awhile his "deep six" looks good.
Usually on smaller wrestlers.
Since he's apparently allergic to the gym.

I made a thread a while ago about Ember Moon having a great look, entrance, moveset, ability and a hell of a finisher, but absolutely NO reason to be there.
Considering the potential she has, I find it such a shame she has only ever been a smiley babyface (even during NXT which is strange considering her look and the potential character work that could have been developed), and for that reason she's the most boring to me out of the lot because of what she could be like and she and they don't do anything with it.
I kinda like Corbin. Sure, he's featured way way too much at times, but there's a goofyness to his character that I can personally tolerate. His acting GM role was so OTT that it kinda worked for me but I'm glad they killed it when they did.
