Hierarchy of Current Wrestlers?

[Jura]

What would be the pecking order of the current active wrestlers in the WWE? I imagine it's Taker at the top since he's been there the longest and most respected. And then after that I'm not sure. Maybe Triple H because he got into Stephanie's panties.

[Loose Cannon]

lol Taker at the top.

Triple H is on the throne

Then Taker, HBK, Cena, JBL, Orton, and then everyone else I guess

[Mr. Nerfect]

I think if The Undertaker wanted to, he could get Triple H to job to him in a ten minute match. Triple H has a lot of fucking power, more than he should, but he's kept in check by the hard-ons Vince and Stephanie have. He worms his way in, so it's only smart he takes a fall when asked to for someone that is right up there.

Triple H would be my pick for #2, though. Shawn Michaels would be following very close at #3.

Then things get a little murky. Sure, you have guys like Cena and Orton, but I still think the WWE sees them as guys that are "young," and don't really have too much power. Cena, while being higher than Orton, I believe, is still at the stage where he will do a job, if asked to. As hard as he's been pushed, it still feels like he's in a position where he can "fuck up" and be Bobby Lashley'd. I mean, the attention has been moved off Cena at WrestleMania and on RAW, and it almost seems like he's fading away. To my, anyway.

Chris Jericho would command more power than people give him credit for, I believe. He's a respected talent, and he did the WWE a solid by returning. I think it is a possibility that Jericho would actually command more power than Orton.

JBL is quite the locker room leader, too. Then things get really weird, because it seems that the guys most respected, and that get the perks aren't always the hardest pushed on television. I'm sure a guy like Hardcore Holly, for example, could get a guy like CM Punk punished (perhaps), even though Punk is clearly the superior on-screen entity.

[CSL]

HHH #1 fo sho. 'Taker, HBK probably followed by Randy Orton. Guy just says and does whatever the fuck he wants. Then Cena, JBL, Dancin' Dave, Big Show etc. Austin I would say goes before/just after Shawn when he's around.

[Hanso Amore]

HHH is Number one, only because he actually is involved in day to ay operations more than anyone else.

Then taker/HBk are 1b.

Tier 2 wouldbe Cena/orton, the Top guys currently.

Tier 3 is the older veterans. (Jericho, Holly, Finlay, JBL, Kane)

4 = everyone else

[Heros Welcome]

1) Taker
2) Trips
3) HBK

After those 3 I think its a whos who. You could say Cena and Orton are interchangeable. Followed by the vets like Jericho and JBL. After those its up in the air.

[Jeritron]

Well I think theres two way to look at it. Respect and veteran status as one. And starpower and ranking as such in the booking.

For the former, I'd say

1. HHH (cuz of his family ties)
2. Taker
3. HBK
4. JBL
5. Jericho

The latter...
1. Cena
2. HHH
3. HBK
4. Taker
5. Batista (he's higher than most cuz of HHH and Flair's like for him, and what they invested)
6. Orton
7. Edge
8. Rey
9. Jeff would prob be here or higher, but not anymore. Prob Jericho would be here now, or maybe a spot or two higher
^
Numbers 6-9 on that list are really interchangeable


One way to tell how they view things is how they bill their PPVs before a card is made and who they advertise as being in action as the "stars of the WWE"

[St. Jimmy]

1. HHH
2. Taker
3. HBK
4. Batista
5. JBL

[Fabien Barthez]

I think its safe to say Carlito doesn't rank very highly..

Or Chavo for that matter.

I would suggest JBL, Big Show, Batista, Orton, Cena and Edge below then obvious 3.

[Mr. JL]

HHH
Undertaker
Cena
HBK
Orton

Easy top 5

[Jura]

What about just the McMahon family itself? Some of you say Steph and HHH will take over the company but I'd rather see Shane take over.

[NYDon]

HHH and HBK are on another level

[slextremely]

HHH is on another level
rewind to 97
HBK HHH on another level
now granted HBK still has some say but shawn is not who he was then.

HHH
Taker (on draw alone)
HBK

Cena
Orton/ Bats

[The CyNick]

I've read a lot about how Cena comes off as an office guy nowadays, so I think he's right up there with HHH, Taker, HBK and JBL.

If I had to rank them I think it would be HHH, then Taker (due to the whole lockerroom leader thing), then Cena (he makes the most money for the company), then HBK (friends in the right places, hostory with Vince), and then JBL (because Vince doesnt want a broomstick in the....kidding)

I dont think Randy is at that top tier. Guys like him, Batista, maybe Edge are in a lower tier.

[BigDaddyCool]

Orton and Cena are pretty far up. I think HHH and Taker are on par actaully.

[Testicle]

Taker/HHH
Michaels/Austin(he still has lots of pull)
Bats/Cena
Edge/Orton
