Totally agree with Hunico.

Cody Rhodes and Wade Barrett are really sticking out. Barrett has his bare knuckle fighting that he doesn't do and all his silly catchphrases, and Rhodes is back to being obsessed with vanity. Both of them would work better if their characters were simplified, strip all the gimmicks away and let them be a sarcastic asshole and a legit badass.

Sheamus. Celtic Warrior my arse they don't even touch on it apart from mentioning he's Irish. Could do so much more instead of being Irish Cena

I don't know how many people that remember this but for a while on NXT and superstars, when Tyson Kidd was still a heel he had a feud with Yoshi Tatsu. Tatsu was written off with an injury and returned with a Great Muta avenging spirit style gimmick that had so much potential. It was cool, a bit dark and brought some dept to the Yoshi character (Despite the entire feud having started with Kidd mocking Yoshi for collecting action figures). The only thing that stayed unchanged was sadly the theme song. Then the gimmick was of course dropped out of nowhere which didn't make sense #WWELogic



I miss this gimmick.

Theres nothing del Rio can do, kane is fine and Daniel Bryan just needs more serious work.

Come to think of it, all the superfaces are pretty devoid of characters. ADR's just a rich guy, Orton's a psychopath, Sheamus is a generic monster heel. Like they basically took their heel gimmicks and stuck a smiley face on it... ta-da, babyface!

Do any of them have likable qualities?
