....love and respect....The Undertaker....he wrestles about once a year just for WrestleMania and the never ending streak....It's really starting to get old....Also the whole Deadman gimmick is becoming less believe able now than it was 10+ years ago....I'll probably get flammed for this.....
Love and respect? How so? Your little "opinion" is as disrespectful as it could possibly be. The Undertaker is the last of the larger than life characters that used to populate WWE's roster. He is universally loved for all he's done over the years...and rightfully so.
Taker's Wrestlemania streak is either the biggest selling point for Wrestlemania, or the second biggest...depending on which year we're talking, and it's been that way for quite some time now. This coming year will most likely see his match (if he has one) as the "second fiddle" again, due to the Rock vs Cena, but having the second biggest match on the years biggest card is nothing to sneeze at. ...And while we're talking about the streak, I'd really like to point out the fact that it's far from old, stale or boring. I'm sure 999,999 people out of a million would agree.
A guy like The Undertaker, at this point in his career, has earned the right to work a very light load. That's the treatment one gets when they've been loyal to a fault for MANY, MANY years and have made their employer a dump truck full of cash. Have you ever considered how much money Taker could've made had he jumped ship to WCW during Nitro's heyday? The man could've pretty much asked for any figure...and he probably would've been given the money without a second thought. He was and still is that big of a draw. In fact, he's one of the biggest draws ever.
If Taker is only capable for coming in during the "road to wrestlemania" so be it. 99.9% of WWE's fanbase would wholeheartedly agree with me saying Taker is welcome for as long as he feels like participating....whether it's one match per year or not. I honestly can't believe you'd disrespect a guy like Taker. He, quite simply, is WWE. He is the last of WWE's greatest generation of stars and he can do whatever the hell he likes as far as I'm concerned. It's insanely hilarious that you'd even mention the "believability" of his character as well. Anyone over the age of 6 should instantly realize that the Undertaker is the most unbelievable character on the roster. It wasn't a problem in the beginning, it wasn't a problem during the attitude era and it isn't a problem now. You honestly, sincerely deserve to get flamed for your post too. It was quite possibly one of the worst I've ever read.
...and now, the guys I think will be cut sooner or later. Keep in mind I don't necessarily think it's cool to wish someone's dream to be ended, let alone their livelihood taken from them. Most if not all of these names have already been mentioned in this thread, but I need to at leat attempt to make a post relevant to the thread's subject matter.
JTG - This guy is a decent enough performer, but I feel he is more apt to working in a tag team. WWE obviously has no intentions of attempting even a slightly entertaining tag division at this point, so JTG isn't very valuable. If working as a singles competitor is what's expected of him, I think he'd do fine in TNA's X division. ...But, in all honesty, he most likely wouldn't be a draw there either.
Chris Masters - I like Chris and think he has some good qualities, but he's been around long enough to have reached his ceiling. I think he's perfectly acceptable in terms of being a guy that loses to top draws, but he'd have to actually appear on Raw or Smackdown in order to get in the ring with anyone capable of drawing a dime.
Most of the former Nexus & Corre and/or NXT guys - No point in naming names here as I'm sure nearly everyone knows the guys I'm talking about. There are obvious exceptions, such as Barrett, Riley, Bryan and a few others, but most of these guys are destined to job. Jobbers are important to an extent, but how many jobbers does any given company actually need? FCW is where most of these guys belong, and some of them may improve enough to get called back up to the main show eventually. Most if not all of these guys are young and very, very green. There's no reason to think a few of them aren't capable of becoming better workers either. A guy like Heath Slater (who I have partied with on numerous occasions) is a much better worker than most give him credit for. He just needs more time to work on his southern "drawl", mic work in general and his gimmick. Justin Gabriel has a world of potential as well. If there was a decent cruiserweight division, both Heath and Justin could very well become stars.
The Uso Brothers - WWE tag teams = worthless...and even if that wasn't the case the Uso's are nothing special. In the days of WWE's relevant tag division, these guys would job out. They have limited charisma, their looks are nothing to write home about, their mic skills are non-existant and they simply aren't very fun to watch.
Tyler Reks - This guy got a complete gimmick/appearance overhaul and it went nowhere. He was moderately successful on Smackdown for approximately a month and I don't think he'll even get back to that. Personally, I think he has a good look, but he obviously can't get himself over with the fanbase or the writers. There must be a reason for the latter.
I guess that's enough for now.
One last thing................ I'd like to comment on the post in which Drew McIntyre was thrown under the bus. Drew has a lot going for him and I still believe he'll get back on the right track. If it doesn't happen in WWE, this kid could be a top player in TNA. I don't think moving him to RAW was such a good idea either.
