Which wrestler did you change your mind on this year and you think of them more positively then last year? For me I got a few.
Chad Gable, shoooosh! He’s the new goofy Kurt Angle
Pretty Deadly. When I first saw them on NXT I didn’t think it was going anywhere fast. But once again, goofy heels impressed me.
Aliyah. Beginning of the year she was doing nothing. Her pairing with Raquel changed that up for me. More energy and she seemed like she was having fun in the ring.
Bobby Lashley. I think his presentation this past year has gone up. Final boss type character who IMO doesn’t take a clean pin often.
Butch. Yeah I’ll say it, Butch is an improvement over Pete Dunne. I liked his presentation more when he was wrestling with the pants and suspenders, but he’s still 100% more interesting then he was as Pete.
Who is on your list for 2022?

Baron Corbin, mostly just because he told Braun to shut the f*** up and show some god damn respect to his coworkers who work different styles than he does.

Sheamus. Not sure if he has improved this year, or if he always was this good, but dude has won me over this year.

For as bland as his presentation is WWE has something with Madcap Moss. I really hope they can find this guy a winning gimic because he has impressed me at times in ring this year.

Grayson Waller when dude first showed up as a rly miscast Babyface teaching Cameron Grimes how to get bitches compared to now is unbelievable. Only Wahlberg I trust.

Dom Mysterio, Judgment Day really turned me around on that guy, haha. Andre Chase also, I wasn't a big fan of Chase University at first but it's one of the things I look forward to the most in NXT now.

Solo Sikoa. Didn't like him at all in NXT but since he got called up I've really enjoyed him and he might be my favorite current character on the main roster as the stoic enforcer of the Bloodline who can also fly off the handle on a moments notice.

Apollo Crews, Solo Sikoa and Cody Rhodes.
Honorary non-wrestler mention to Maxxine Dupri.

Apollo Crews, Solo Sikoa and Cody Rhodes. Honorary non-wrestler mention to Maxxine Dupri. Those are all good ones I forgot to mention. I never disliked Apollo or anything but turning him into a psychic and possible murder has made him one of my favorites on NXT. Oddly he also feels like a much bigger star now in that he has more of presence about him. Maybe it's the dope leather jackets he wears now IDK. Maxxine has really surprised and impressed me with how much she's owning her role as the manager of Maxximum Male Models. On NXT she came off as so robotic and unnatural and now she delivers everything perfectly while showing 100 times more personality. I guess maybe her having a more clear cut role where she now has a better understanding how to act has made the difference. I mean what even was she supposed to be in NXT? Was she Von Wagner's girlfriend? They never bothered to explain. Either way it's criminal that MMM are now relegated to YouTube content. They are such an entertaining act and all three of them are hilarious. Cody it was refreshing to have a main event babyface character who just came off like a good dude and at the same time was someone who you could count on. Sucks he got injured so soon into his comeback. Hoping he's the one to win the Rumble and beat Roman. It will such BS if they give it to the Rock instead. |

Knew Aliyah was a star from the moment I laid eyes on her.
Didn't care for Dom or Finn and now I love them both.
Jey. Loved him during the Roman feud but he didn't do anything interesting for a long time. Now he's back to his best.

Grayson Waller is my dude. It was hilarious at first too cause we would be like "damn he's already facing Ciampa" or something like that and then dude would just go out and have the most undeniable performance that left most of us like oh god dammit dude |

Dakota Kai went from being someone who reminded me of a crazy ex girlfriend, to becoming one of my fav performers on the main roster in WWE.

Sheamus, and Dominik for me.
Others like Dakota, or LA Knight, I've always had a soft spot for, and I'm glad they're finally getting to show people what they can do.

I wasn't aware of Corbin's involvement. Exactly what it says on the tin. Braun was running his mouth about guys doing flippy shit and Baron Corbin tweeted that he should shut the f*** up and show some respect for guys working different styles than his. |

Dominik Mysterio starting off as Rey's bland son to being a complete shithead with the Judgement Day that's getting good heat is some solid stuff.
