Pushed: Carlito, prob a top 3 young talent in the WWE. I really hope he goes face, he can get a Rock type following.

 

Randy Orton: Physically impressive, great on the mic and ring. Yes, I nkow he has been pushed, but he should be THE top heel or be the big name guy on Smackdown and replace Batista.

 

Finally, Shelton Benjamin. BY FAR the best talent in WWE, and in my opinion his skin tone has partially determined his fate.

 

Orlando Jordan: Not get pushed, but can they bury him any more?

 

 

NOT GET PUSHED:

 

Chris Masters: Gawd is he garbage.

 

Edge: Pretty bland after his dumb surfer gimmick, not a good heel imo. I just dont think hes a main eventer, he doesnt draw crowd appeal.

 

Batista: Hes rather old(40 I think) and his mic skills are garbage.

 

 

Thoughts?

 

Oh yeah, who the f*** is Tyson Tomko and why is he being pushed? All he does is kick and scream.

They did the same with Conway... Tomko was Christian's "bodybuard" when Christian was in RAW.

Shelton Benjamin's lacking mic skills are what are costing him, not his skin color(look at Rob Van Dam...the crowd loves him, he is sick in the ring, but no world title push). Benjamin is second only to Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit in in-ring skills, he is just amazing. My favorite wrestler. But so was Charlie Hoss, he was a great in-ring worker(the matches he had with Kurt Angle on Smackdown! were classics), but his limited mic ability not only kept him from a push but garnered his release. I agree though that Benjamin deserves a push, and not this anti-push they are giving him now.

 

Batista is 35, but due to getting in the business so late and not taking any bumps has the physical makeup of a guy in his mid 20s. Plus he is exciting and has an amazing entrance(Batista gets me fired up). I think only Angle, HHH(who I cant stand), and John Cena have better entrances.

 

Orton was rather bland as champion and that is what is hindering his push.

 

As for who should get it, Christian. He has amazing mic skills and is above average in the ring, but due to his lack of size someone besides Batista would have to be champ before he would get a push. I love Christian, along with Angle and Benjamin he is my favorite worker. But, with the way the fans back him, even as a heel, I'd like to see him go face. He's still a CLB, but he'd be a good CLB(and I miss Jim Ross screaming "why that darn little CLB" on Raw).

I'll go with RAW only since I don't watch Smackdown:

 

The Conman. I don't know if anyone saw his taped promo on WWE.com but it was KOMEDY GOWLD! For real. I still see potential, just give me a reason to care.

 

Shelton Benjamin. Turn him heel and let him go. A lot of guys in the company seem to be the of opinion he's a natural cocky heel.

 

That's all I have for now. RAW has really been a down show since Michaels RETURNED face. I'm just not feeling it. Plus, I'm the minority in the group I watch with who still likes Kurt Angle and doesn't care that his character is a bootleg "My Time" Triple H. Just keep him wrestling and don't let him do so much mic work, minimalize it.

 

Getting Christian and pushing him would be a help. Also, from what I've seen of this Mr. Kennedy guy I would REALLY like to see him come to RAW next draft. Other than that, I like the team of Cade and Murdoch (the gimmick sucks, but their matches are good). However, RAW has been really stale for me.

One under the surface guy is Val Venis. He's still stuck with the stench of that gimmick (which made him some money for a year or 2), but man the guy can work AND he has ability on the microphone. I don't know why they didn't just build off of Chief Morley, have him go his own way, keep being himself. He was getting pretty good heat then.

 

Shelton is obvious, but he's young and has time. Once he finds his comfort zone on the microphone (and he will, you can see some potential), he'll skyrocket towards the top.

 

They ARE pushing Carlito. The guy won the Intercontinental Title on his first show on Raw. I like the guy a lot and he has some serious potential, but they're doing just fine with him. I like his new aggression, it's really helping his in-ring work. He will be a mega-face at some point.

 

They need to have Conway do more stuff like he did on Monday. Yeah, ripping the bear up is kinda dumb, but guess what, it got him his first reaction in god knows how long. He's another guy who can both work and talk. Of course, the company is high on him, so it's just a matter of time before they give him a "here's the ball, see what you can do" type deal with someone like Michaels.

 

The Women's Division as a whole. They fired half their true talent pool when if you look back to the time when they had them all going on all cylinders, the division was pretty hot, people actually cared. Trish is stuck in this stupid Ashley initiation storyline and she's still getting great reactions, get her some people to work with. Victoria is the only woman she's going to have good matches with. Trish is strong in ring, but she's not the type that's going to carry someone. She has a moveset that asks a lot of the opponent. Molly Holly was about the only woman I've seen who could make them all look good and they did so little with her that she got fed up and quit. Still don't know why they got rid of Jazz or Gail Kim. And Alexis Laree has been ready for over a year now and they just have her sitting in OVW.

 

Some things that need to go:

Masters - Honestly, the character HAS grown on me a bit, but he's just so boring in the ring that it doesn't matter.

 

Kerwin White - This is stupid. Just pointless. And they're wasting a good worker too. This was a gimmick that I hated when I first saw it, then kinda backed off, said it COULD be kinda funny, then the second he's put in a storyline (obvious BS with Shelton) it's clear it's a dead-end. No wonder Chavo tried so hard to get out of doing it. And then, if that's not enough, they stick this Nick Nemeth guy with him, who by all accounts is way too green for TV and, to prove it, blew his cue to grab Shelton's leg on Monday. You have one spot in the whole match and you forget to do it...incredible.

 

Kane - Not looking forward to him coming back at all. If you look up stale in the dictionary, there is his ugly mug.

 

I tend to agree about Tomko. He was pretty cool as Christian's bodyguard, getting a good line off here and there, and just helping Captain Charisma. On his own...fail.

 

 

I wholeheartedly disagree about Edge. Every time they do something legit with the guy, he gets reactions. He can work and I personally think he's upped his game on the microphone lately. I'm ready for his world title run, whether I ever get it remains to be seen.

 

It's also unfortunate Matt Hardy's about to be sent to the B show, he's really shown me something of late. I think there's an outside chance he wins that match next Monday, but the more I think about it, the less likely it is. Of course, they almost have to get those 2 off the same show or the feud would never end.

 

 

I don't care about Smackdown at all, I still can't believe they're going to waste my time with an SD match on Homecoming.

 

Raw has been in an obvious holding pattern, waiting for the switch to USA. Things are going to pick up big time.

RVD

I think Edge goes to SD! Hugg. There Edge can finally be the top heel main eventer that WWE sees him as.

CM Punk, ok, he's in OVW but he needs to be on RAW and pushed to the moon. The guy is one of the best workers you will see although a lot of his moves would be banned by The WWE's lame safe style but Punk is still awesome. His promo's are amazing and can work with anyone, the guy is gold and I really see him as the next great heel.

 

For christs sake, The RVD/Cm Punk feud is a guaranteed and it'll be awesome. The Stoner Vs The Holier than thou Straight Edge.

 

 

 

MNM, they need to get them off the crap that is Smackdown and put them on Raw and make RAW the only tag team show, so it stops watering down the division. MNM is amazing and I so wish the wwe would allow Nitro to do his standing shooting star press which is a sight to see. Plus, I like to see Melina's boobies without having to watch all the other crap that is on Smackdown.

 

 

 

The Conman, some people call the gimmick stupid to which I respond... you're stupid. The gimmick is gold and he could be an awesome face, he's not going to work as a heel because no one would take it seriously but as a face he'd work. Conway can work and has decent mic skills, I need to start doing things the Conway.

And, by all accounts, Melina is good in the ring as well. 2 benefits there.

 

But, then again, I don't really like tag team wrestling very much, so...

 

 

And as for Edge/Matt...only 1 of them is being advertised for Raw shows after next week and it ain't Matt. (not that WWE doesn't screw stuff like that up all the time anyway)
