boring characters in WWE

[Mister J]

RAW
John Cena
Triple H
Randy Orton
Ted DiBiase
Cody Rhodes
Jack Swagger
MVP
Mark Henry
Evan Bourne
Primo Colon
Vladimir Kozlov

Smackdown

Drew McIntyre
Big Show
Matt Hardy
Shad
JTG
Kane
Great Khali
David Hart Smith
TJ Wilson
Ezekiel Jackson

I think WWE needs to work harder on making these wrestlers more interesting.

So you think William Regal is entertaining, but not Orton, Cena, HHH, MVP, Swagger, and pretty much anyone on Raw???

SD i agree with.

Cena isn't boring, he's just not aimed at anyone over 13.
Triple H and Randy Orton? Are you serious??
Smackdown I'd have to say you're pretty dead on though...

Yeah, Orton has a good character.

Kane could improve his character if he was to turn heel. I would love a monster heel Kane on Smackdown, Where he walks around and attacks anyone, Gets a push and actually captures a championship.

I think the Raw Superstars appear boring mainly because of the lame guest hosts. It brings the entire program down. How can you think a feud or anything is real serious and interesting after just watching a lame segment such as the Jerry Springer show. The guest hosts are buzz killers.

SD...well you got a point there. They are just flat out lame entirely. Only feud that is entertaining is without a doubt Punk and Rey. That was a very well thought out promo on SD last week.

I only base my opinion on promos not on in ring work:

Rey Mysterio
Mark Henry
Drew McIntyre
John Cena
Batista
Ezekiel Jackson
Mike Knox (if he's still wrestling?)

I'm baffled you find Bourne boring

Cena & Rey's promos aren't bad, they are hardly CM Punk clones but they can work a mic alot better than half the WWE roster. Rey might seem bad on the mic but imo he is good because he is always working with his gimmick, he isn't going to have promos that are exciting to all, for example I doubt many children get excited by the promos you see from the Bret/Vince feud, they just won't understand it, so Rey's promos appeal to children not adults, there has to be some that appeal to children and some to adults. As for John Cena, I just don't understand that atall.

I think that most of the WWE roster are boring, not because of their promo or even in ring skills but because they aren't given a character to begin with. The hot trend of professional wrestling these days is just putting people in there with their real name and no separating, unique gimmick.

Sure there's some layering among characters

CM Punk- Straightedge Lifestyle
Chris Jericho- Best in the World (Which still isn't a true gimmick)

There's tons of guys that are just thrown out there with nothing to work off of. Dolph Ziggler is a prime example, he began with he introducing bit but then trailed off. What are we supposed to think of him? It's a lazy booking job through the whole company. Then again I guess they deserve a pat on the back for getting us to still invest in some characters without having a real reason to.

 

[maty619]

I don't think a wrestler changing their name should make any difference atall, unless they have some really long hard to say name that just doesn't roll off the tongue see Yoshi Tatsu (Naofumi Yamamoto) but I agree, all the mid card heels seem to just be not well thought out egotisticle jerks and all the faces are 'good guys' that defend 'the WWE universe' at any possible point.

SD i agree with.

William Regal has always been entertaining IMO. I liked his British snob and Real Man's Man gimmick.

 

[xtremebadass]

I have always found Kane boring as all hell. His peak was probably his feuds with RVD and Shane McMahon in 2003. He carried his momentum into 04 with his feud with Taker. After that he just stuck around. He has been "sticking around" since then.

 

[Mister J]

Kane was entertaining when he wore the mask and before the DX stuff.

 

[maty619]

I have been slated for slaging off William Regal before and I probably will be again, I remember looking on that who did William Regal piss off thread before and I saw someone said Vince doesn't like English wrestlers, I agree with this completely but Regal is not a good example of this imo, I have never found him entertaining and actually found him disgusting, who wants to see a middle aged man in trunks. He is not exciting in the ring imo, he is a great wrestler don't get me wrong but I just don't like him.

You wouldn't slag off Regal in my face. That was also my thread.
