I've not really been following the WWE, mostly for political reasons, also because it's harder for me to enjoy their product now that I've discovered what I feel to be better stuff on the internet.Kragg said:
But I AM familiar with most of their talent, so here we go:
Alberto Del Rio: Excellent villain, good technical Lucha Libre background, given that he is the son of Dos Caras and the nephew of Mil Mascaras.
Alex Riley: Decent mat power wrestler. Under seasoned, however, as he has never wrestled outside of the WWE system.
Antonio Cesaro: Claudio Castagnoli. One of Switzerland's finest (in not only one of a few) wrestlers. It's worth tracking down his work for Chikara Pro, especially as the leader of Die Bruderschaft des Kreuzes.
Big Show: Formerly one of the better giant wrestlers, he has slowed down significantly over the last decade due to injuries. Hard to believe it, but he was once able to do a moonsault.
Brock Lesnar: Trained in pro wrestling by former US Olympic wrestler Brad Rheingeins, upon his return to the WWE he began using more in the way of submission holds and MMA inspired offense.
Brodus Clay: Yet another wrestler who has never worked outside of the WWE system. Decent super heavyweight, with an infectious smile and personality. A former body guard for Snoop Dogg.
Camacho: 4th generation wrestler, and son of the legendary Haku, he has also never wrestled outside of the WWE system. A decent brawler, playing the role of hired muscle.
Christian: Still a solid technical wrestler after all these years, and still just as underrated as ever.
CM Punk: A good striker with a solid technical base. He is, arguable, the most interesting man in the entire company right now.
Cody Rhodes: You'd think that someone trained by Harley Race would be a lot more impressive, technically speaking. Still, he's a good villain, but has never really impressed me as far as wrestling goes.
Curt Hawkins: A well rounded wrestler that's never used properly. Mostly treated as enhancement talent, unfortunately.
Damien Sandow: An excellent, traditional, mat power wrestler. They currently have him doing a snobbish academic gimmick, which completely underplays just how brutal a villain this guy can be.
Daniel Brian: Pound for pound, the best technical wrestler on the roster. A black belt in Judo, Brian is also one of the most versatile wrestlers currently signed to the WWE, mostly due to the fact that he has wrestled in nearly every country that HAS pro wrestling. Well worth checking out his work from when he was Brian Danielson.
Darren Young: Another well rounded heavyweight wrestler, but given a terrible look and gimmick. He can deliver a good match, but with the way he's marketed, you'd never know it.
David Otunga: Never wrestled outside of the WWE, this graduate of Harvard Law school lucked into marrying a celebrity. Only four years into the business, his main attribute is the fact that he looks muscular and not much else.
Dolph Ziggler: Never wrestled outside the WWE. As far as villains go, he's pretty good, but other than that he's just an average traditional heavyweight with a silly name.
Drew McEntire: A technically gifted wrestler with a solid British wrestling background, but doesn't work for me in the WWE. He also has these stupid looking kneepads.
Dwayne Johnson: He relies mostly on his personality to compensate for the fact that he's only a basic wrestler with large muscles. I'm in the minority when I say this, but I genuinely don't like the Rock. If you've seen one Rock match, you've seen them all.
Epico: Another great, well rounded wrestler! He's done great work on the US Indy circuit and in Puerto Rico. All of which is more interesting than what they have him doing in the WWE.
Evan Bourne: A good high flier, but he keeps getting injured in the WWE. It's worth it to check out his work for WSX.
Ezekial Jackson: An average heavyweight
Great Khali: A giant that can barely move.
I started doing this list with the intention of talking about EVERYBODY, but I quickly realized that it wasn't worth it.
I hope this helps!
