In my opinion I think Orton needs to tweak his character some at the moment. I like the guy and he is in his prime in ring wise but he isn't interesting lately as far as his character goes which is part of why I lost interest in his feud with Christian and in Smackdown period. The reason fans even got into him anyways to the point where he had to be turned face is because of how heartless and crazy they made him come off and I think they need to get back to that more (basically be a tweener)

John Morrison. His current face rockstar gimmick bores me to death. I know his in ring work is amazing but damn, I fall asleep when he picks up a microphone. As a heel, he always entertained me on the mic and I think that when he was Johnny Nitro w/Melina, his character was much better. I think they should just turn him heel again or something.

Yeah Morrison def needs one and I personally think they messed up when they changed him from his dirt sheet character to just a generic babyface. He is never gonna be great on the mic but when he was doing the dirt sheet stuff he knew how to be funny without it coming off super cheesy and they should have def stuck with that as he turned face.

Wade Barrett needs a push in my opinion. And I do not say this because he's my favourite wrestler in the PG Era so far. Nor because we're both from Manchester. But come on. I watched the previous SmackDown recently, and I can't believe how WWE is making Barrett job like that to Sheamus. They are making the man who impacted WWE in 2010 the most, job like it's nothing. And it upsets me that Barrett jobs to most of the bloody Mid-carders! The former leader of WWE's most impacting stable to have ever come into the PG Era, The Nexus. So I really think they should be giving Wade Barrett a push, just like they are giving Sheamus & Daniel Bryan. I say the same for Drew McIntyre. But he's another subject on needing a push.

Im a bit fed up with Orton, he's fantastic but the gimmick is just so tired in my opinion. i dont know what they can do though, i feel the same about Cena i guess ive just seen so much of them in the past five years that i just dont care anymore

Well there's nothing about a character tweak in what you said but anyway. How you can say that he jobbed to Sheamus is kinda mind blowing if you're on about this weeks SmackDown. Honestly I thought he looked great against Sheamus and was very much his equal throughout the match, not to mention he only lost because of Christians interference.

As far as Orton goes, i've really enjoyed him since he came to SmackDown. I like that he's become more facey and even goofy at times, but he's still retained that ruthless side of him.

Agreed about John Morrison though and would probably add Justin Gabriel in there too along with Daniel Bryan who I would love to see them make him even more aggressive, sort of like Benoit was and drop the whole nerd bullshit.

I think Barrett has the right character tweak going back to his whole being about making money thing that he came to WWE with he just doesn't have the push to back it.

I'll agree with others on John Morrison however if WWE stayed consistent with his push from late last year when he was fueding with Sheamus he could be a huge part of Raw. His current scuffle with R-Truth would probably be a bigger deal as well. I can't even refer to that nonsense as a feud at this point. His whole parkour thing coming out of Royal Rumble was great too. Just like with Kofi they don't have faith in him but to be fair by now he could be a great asset to the main event scene. It's not so much tweaking I guess as just WWE continuing his pushes the way they should have gone.
