Mid-Card Championship Winner
Back when I watched wrestling during the Attitude Era, I would mark out for The Rock, Triple H, Stone Cold, Kane, Taker, Big Show and of course...Gillberg! But there were also guys who bored me to tears like Viscera, Mideon, the Oddities and more. Most of these guys had maybe a distinct look, but weren't very good on the mic and generally sucked in the ring.
But ever since the Great Khali was let go, it has occurred to me that WWE has a really good roster right now. Even guys who are only there to be squashed, like R-Truth or Zack Ryder, have more to offer when talking or fighting than the majority of my childhood not-heroes. I might give Ziggler a lot of shit, but I'm always willing to acknowledge his ability to perform. Jack Swagger might have no personality, but he's an excellent wrestler.
On NXT, Baron Corbin kinda sucks, but I'd like to think either they're holding back on his skills or he's just green and will get better.
But for all the issues I've had with the writing and booking, I can't think of any real weak links in the roster. I suspect that a lot of the reasons that fans tend to gripe about 'so and so' not being pushed is because almost everyone deserves better than what they are getting. But what do you guys think? What period would you say had the best all around roster?
