Then (IMO) it is the creative teams job to write & craft the storylines
to the particular performers strengths.

So...if they are lacking in mic skills...don't have them talk on the mic.

Its pretty simple really. Its like coaching a sports team. You put every
player in the position that suites them best.

I agree with you that the quality of wrestling has never been better...
but the characters & stories are terribly bland & repetitive.

The WWE has all these talented performers & the money & production
values second to none...and yet they simply seem to be content to sit
on "autopilot" while only focusing on having a Plank of Wood get over
& be the face of the company.

Watching the 1st season of Lucha Underground was worst thing I ever did...
because now I can only dream & imagine of what the WWE could achieve
if they decided to embrace the more "theatrical" elements of wrestling instead
of their entire product (besides NXT of course...less is more) being a bland,
overstuffed white bread sandwich with a side of more white bread.
Sometimes it doesn't matter what creative does, the people just can't adapt. Take Stardust/Cody Rhodes for example, he said it himself, about himself.

I think, while you have a point, especially on the main roster, the promos are scripted word for word. So really it sometimes isn't always the fault of only the competitor or the creative team. At times it is a bit of both. No doubt it is up to the wrestlers to make the most of what they're given and some need to work on their mic work, but at times they can polish the crap they're given as much as possible, but it is still crap.

I'm not talking about just mic work, I'm also talking about body language, personality and look (not body wise). Some people can't pull off any of that. Take Becky Lynch as an example, that girl is a fantastic wrestler, but tell me what her character is besides being funny? Isn't she supposed to be all steampunk? How is any of that portrayed outside of her entrance graphics and entrance jacket/goggles?

Longevity wise, Undertaker is better but I think Kane had a better hard hitting start. The background was great and when he was a basically voiceless monster, it was amazing. Paul played a role in this for sure but Kane back in the day > Undertaker back in the day in my book.

Your book that literally no one asked for.

Kevin Owens isn’t good on the microphone and not a lot of people on the television are. They either fuck up every other word, filled with WWE billboard terms or have that horrible Triple H cadence where they slow down their words the closer they get... to the end... of... a sentence.
