The Miz does nothing for me, fire him.
Khali is the future. Just have him train with the MPW boys and he'll be doing arm drags in no time.

Boogeyman... the others are not even close to his level of uselessness.
I don't care if he's Booker T's project: he's a sub-par wrestler, he's injury prone, he's "old", his silly comedy gimmick has already run its course, so there's no real reason for him to stay. Not even as a jobber to the stars, because he has zero credibility.
Khali may be an horrible worker, but at least he's huge, so there's still a use for him.
Miz and Cole are only minor annoyances, and Miz is one of those heels you just can't not to hate...

Explain to me what Khali's usefullness is just because he's huge? Aside from taking up substantially more space than the rest. At least Boogey has two moves, which is one more than Khali.

Khali is entertaining to me cause the kid in me enjoys seeing such a freakin huge person on TV. Yeah he's a horrible wrestler but thats ok. He's something you dont see everyday and that alone makes him great.

The guys in that list are fine, I find entertainment in all four of them, Michael Cole is better than average at play by play, his foibles are more entertaining than they are annoying, "OH MY!!!!!" is a catch phrase I use quite often on a day to day basis.
Khali is a great monster, just because we won't ever get a five star classic out of him doesn't render him useless, personally I loved him as the bodyguard to an active wrestling Daivari best IMO, I think he should take a similar role to someone on Raw, that way he isn't wrestling, and also he can give someone a reason to believe that someone who we don't normally expect to win anything has a chance(who I thought Daivari was the perfect candidate for to begin with) even if he's facing the likes of John Cena. Just the fact that Khali's looming over Cena right now has me believing even more that Umaga might take the title next week.
The Miz, I thought he was annoying too at first, but I'm starting to like him more now(it's what happens when you give something a chance) and I'm sure he has yet to win more over. I like now that he's a heel people don't have to pretend that his "HOOOOOOORAHHHHs" are cool, I think it's funny when they chant YOOOOOOOOOOUUUUU-SUCK!!! when he says it.
Boogeyman is still fun, and it's not like he's on all the time so I don't see why we have to call for a firing.

At least Khali can be booked as the "unstoppable monster who's actually more stoppable than expected" (see, Bundy, King Kong and his "clones"). As said by others, he's not supposed to perform Dragon Suplexes or Hurricanranas... He can destroy his opponents with simple strikes and slams. His opponents have to outpace or outwrestle Khali to stand a chance, and if the bookers can come up with decent angles and booking, that could kinda work. Clearly we mustn't expect a technical masterpiece, but it's all about psychology and suspension of disbelief... But I know I'm asking too much from both WWE creative and smart wrestling fans.

Yeah, but even with suspsension of disbelief and psychology "CHOP, CHOP, CHOP, CHOP" isn't going to be an entertaining match in any way, shape, or form, especially when the guy delivering them has A)no charisma whatsoever, and B)the complete inablity to move while wrestling.

Again, I'll say, Boogey's a project of Booker's. That can only mean improvement. It also means he ain't going anywhere for a long time. You make it sound like Booker has pull or something. WWE knew they had a hot ticket with the marks in Boogeyman, and that is why he has his job back. The fact that Booker is behind him helps, but if he proves he hasn't changed, he's gone. Booker wont have s*** to say about it either. And have you seen him wrestle? He pulled muscles bouncing around. He might get better, but he'll still be terrible.

Instead of firing The Miz where he would then end up in TNA which we don't need, send him all the way back down to Deep South so that way he's off the majority of our televisions.

Boogeyman was old after the first time he went through the clock/worms motions. It's been a year since that.

I picked Boogey.
Mostly because i like Khali and Miz. Miz is a natural heel! i hate him for being...MIZ! And Khali will be a big ol' heel for a while. Thanks Vince!

I do hate Khali, but at least he is huge so they can use him for just that, but the Boogeyman has got to be the most useless guy around, seriously what does he do

Khali. The man's only skill is standing around looking stupid. As for the Miz He's annoying yes but he's a heel so he's supposed to be. Boogeyman is actually pretty funny as for Michael Cole who else would JBL bully in the booth?

It has to be Khali. Dude has about 3 moves. Sure, people doubt the wrestling ability of Boogeyman and The Miz, but they entertain me despite myself. Khali just sucks.

I think it's unfair the way people rip on Khali. Compare him to Andre the Giant, who almost everyone agrees is a legend in the sport. Was Andre a good wrestler, technically speaking? No, he moved slowly and was too clumsy to execute any real moves. Was Andre a good talker? No, but he was pushed anyway because the logic was that a man of his size and power could talk any way he wanted. He got to the top of the sport by basically being a huge, scary guy. Now Khali does the same thing and people want him fired. I just don't agree with that. I say keep him on, he'll always be good in an assassain/bodyguard-type role. BTW, I love his TitanTron. Oh, I guess Miz for firing. He didn't start out as a immobile wrestler, Andre in his earlier days could do dropkicks (from what I hear) and move around quite fast, his health deteriorated in later years. Khali is worthless, and unlike Andre can't even fall down in a match or take even the slightest bump.

^^^^^^^^^^^ Yeah, Andre was damn mobile considering his size early on. I know there are videos around of his stuff with the original Sheik back in 1973 or so where Andre moves very well. As for his being slowed in later years, yeah, severe muscle and bone deterioration from his disease will do that.
