[Innovator]

8.7, solid but Shelton should be ranked higher

[mike627]

8.9 I think he can do so much better than being stuck with Bob Holly.

[Funky Fly]

8.6

He is slightly better than his Raw counterpart, Shelton, at the mat game, but his lack of charisma or brawling skills (lol almost an oxymoron) will keep him from going to the top. And unfortunately, the writing team will keep him from ever winning any title ever again except the near meaninless tag titles.

Is anyone in favor of doing like 2-3 indy guys for RTW?

I'd like to suggest a few: former WWE talent Brian "Spanky" Kendrick, UPW-ROH's Samoa Joe, and of course "The King of The Independents" Reckless Youth / "The Technician" Tom Carter.

We've covered indy guys before, like Low Ki, CM Punk, and Brian Danielson - so it'd be cool if we threw in some more randomly throughout RTW - if at all possible.

Underated.

He deserves better.

Well...I've haven't talked to Dave yet, but Sundays, I'm always off, meaning I have that day to do RTW, and maybe Dave will let me still do one weekly one for now, since I still have my urge in me to do them.

If So, More then Likely, Sundays, will be Days I do ROH, TNA, Indy and Wrestlers from Japan

[James Steele]

9.5, He is on the same level as Shelton in my opinion only the future is not as bright for good ole' Charlie! :'(

[BatistaBomb]

one of the best mat wrestlers i have ever saw but he'll never get the push he deserves
and it also does'nt hurt that he's marrying jackie gayda lol

if you want to do that, that's cool. Otherwise I'll just take the suggestions down and do them early next week.

[The Answer]

8 not as good as Shelton

[John la Rock]

very good in the ring but needs work in every other category. Shelton is 10 X better

[Deceit]

Ahh, The Reckless Youth. I remember seeing him at a local NJ indy show and I told him he definitely had what it took to be in the WWF. 7 years later he's still in the Indy's :(

8.5 for Hass

[Boondock Saint]

8.7

[Gone Mad]

8.4 !

[Marcyo]

8.5, He's great but could defenitively be better

[CYCLOPTERSAURUS]

[asphyXy]

7.3

[Watson]

3, and that's being generous.

[DaveWadding]

BTW, The Prodigy, I didn't count your vote.

Anyways Closed.

[Watson]

Well that's fucked up. My vote wasn't counted just because I gave him a low number? Way to be fair. :roll:

[Funky Fly]

Generally, it's expected that you give your reason why the number is so low. I did it that way and Helmsphere did it that way. Remember, Haas isn't exactly Mantaur.

[KayfabeMan]

Ahh, The Reckless Youth. I remember seeing him at a local NJ indy show and I told him he definitely had what it took to be in the WWF. 7 years later he's still in the Indy's :(

Yeah, he did get f'd.

They moved him down to Memphis, he worked with Killings, Regal, and the whole lot of them - then they call him, say "Well be bringing you up to RAW soon, so be ready" and then cut him. I guess they didn't lie, because at one point I believe they brought him up to RAW to do a darkie with Corino - but they never took him.

Bad move right there too - because if they would have, by now he'd be one of their top guys. ECW saw it in him, but never wanted to pay anyone, or he would have been a top guy for them. He only worked there once, and went over on Nova; they wanted to put a lot behind him, just not any money into his pockets.

[KayfabeMan]

Also, thanks to both Dave & Helms for the responses :y:

[Deceit]

I remember reading some results and seeing his name in the dark listing. What a damn shame. One of the hardest indy workers I've got the chance to meet :(
