Somebody's Gotta Die

This thread is dealing mostly with the quality of the wrestler and his ability to put on memorable matches... In my rankings, I consider wrestling ability more than anything, followed by charisma and finally mic ability... Marketability is an important factor too...
Top 20 Main Event Caliber Superstars:
1. Kurt Angle - best in the business, enough said...
2. Shawn Michaels - delivers constantly, still in his prime, putting over so many people...
3. Eddie Guerrero - heel turn should be great, awesome performer, charisma...
4. Rey Mysterio - can be WWE champ if given the right push...
5. Shelton Benjamin - the next big thing...
6. Chris Benoit - marketability may be a problem at this point, but he's amazing...
7. Rob Van Dam - need to capitalize on his return, he can be awesome and over if pushed and if he can work his own style...
8. Chris Jericho - still great, but has lost a step due to burying over the years...
9. Christian - so high purely due to charisma, has yet to carry awesome matches...
10. Triple H - delivers in big match situations and will go down as one of the best heels ever...
11. The UnderTaker - still delivers and in great shape, hopefully he can put some talent over...
12. Booker T - needs a huge push before retiring... Not the Booker of WCW, but still pretty marketable, in my opinion...
13. Batista - awesome big man, they did a good job with his push...
14. JBL - truly carried SD! last year, awesome charisma, decent ring skills too, actually...
15. Edge - lost a huge step since his injury, but still has a lot of charisma and can still do well as champ in the near future...
16. Randy Orton - still a little sloppy, but damn over and very marketable...
17. John Cena - limited moveset, but his charisma says it all...
18. Carlito - really entertaining and good in the ring too... Deserves the U.S. title for now, if anything...
19. Kane - good big man, his overness has lost a huge step since his unmasking... Not the same marketable character, especially after the runs with Lita and the feud with Snitsky and Viscera...
20. Big Show - still pretty good, not a future WWE champ for me, but someone that can still get a huge pop and put over talent...
Top 10 Tag-Teams:
1. Dudley Boyz - still the best tag-team in WWE, unfortunately...
2. MNM - new and fresh, Melina makes the team what it is, though...
3. Basham Brothers - have gone a long way as a team...
4. Tajiri/Regal or Eugene/Regal - either combo is good in the ring and over...
5. La Resistance - should be Dupree/Grenier... Pretty established team, at least...
6. Hassan & Daivari - they should team these guys, they actually have trememdous potential as a team, in my opinion, as opposed to Hassan on his own...
7. Hurricane & Rosey - this has gotten old and that's when they decide to put the titles on them, what can you do... :-\
8. Simon Dean & Maven - could be good if they get direction and good angles on RAW, however won't amount to anything facing the likes of Venis on HEAT in singles matches
9. Haas & Holly - not a bad team, but they are not pushed and have no momentum, Haas deserves better...
10. Heart Throbs - good to have another team around, but these guys don't really do it for me
Top 10 Divas:
1. Trish Stratus - easy pick...
2. Victoria - only other wrestler, really...
3. Dawn Marie - pretty great, actually...
4. Stacy Kiebler - sexy...
5. Torrie Wilson - sexy...
6. Melina - sexy...
7. Miss Jackie - better than the Diva Search people...
8. Joy - great...
9. Candice - better than Christy, that annoying bitch...
10. Lita - the original ugly dirtbag of wrestling...
Top 10 Cruiserweights:
1. Rey Mysterio - the best, clearly...
2. Chavo Guerrero - awesome...
3. Tajiri - awesome...
4. Paul London - getting really good...
5. Akio - just watch the guy...
6. The Hurricane - deserves better than Rosey...
7. Billy Kidman - lost a huge step since WCW days...
8. Nunzio - I like the guy...
9. Funaki - I like this guy, too...
10. Shannon Moore - :-\ Better than S2H and Spike...
