Look/Presence: Morrison looks like a movie star and he can move like a ninja. I'm going to mark him down for "presence," because he has never really felt like he projects a true star aura. There is room for him to use his look to his advantage more.

8.0

Charisma: This is where I think Morrison takes a step back. I do love the guy, but something about him has always felt a bit wooden in certain roles. I think he's got a charismatic aura away from the business, but you need to be able to turn it on when the cameras are rolling. He's managed to stand out enough over his career though, and people have shown enough investment. I think it's easier to get buy without charisma when you've got a good look though, and I think that has always been the case for Morrison with his abs.

6.5

Ring Skills: Morrison actually wasn't in the business for as long as many people who get only half as good as he gets. Darren Young, for example, got his start in the business before Morrison did. There's been some great work to Morrison's name, and I don't think you can always pin it on his opponent. I don't necessarily think he's a brilliant wrestler or anything, but he manages to tie his spots together into a nice little frame well.

7.5

Mic Skills: Another area where Morrison starts to slip a bit. Some of his stuff has been okay, but others has been pretty dreadful. He's got the mind to be entertaining, but he sometimes has trouble putting it into practice. The guy could lend that mind to good promos, say less, say certain things, and get people into buildings. I am pretty confident in that. That being said, there's just not much evidence for that. I trust him to go out there and say what needs to be said, but I don't think he's going to knock it out of the park or really screw it up, but there is a chance of both. He's right in the middle, in my opinion.

5.0

Average: 6.75

Biggest Attribute Gap: +1.25 (Look)

Biggest Detriment Gap: -1.75 (Mic Skills)

Assessment: John Morrison looks like a god and can move like one. That's what you get him for. It's when you want someone with a larger than life personality to draw people into an arena that you begin to run flat with him.

Look/Presence: He doesn't look threatening at all. Handsome dude with a smug face you want to punch, but it affects his credibility as a fighter.

4.0

Charisma: The dude has been in the business for 13 years now. He's finally got people on board. Let's not pretend this guy has always had people lining up around the corner to see him.

6.0

In-Ring: The lower end of average. Not bad, by any means, but let's not pretend he stands out in any way.

4.0

Mic Skills: The dude can talk. I think he is overrated as a promo, but he can talk, and he seems to get what promos are about, and more and more he's been allowed to point them in the right direction. He'd make a tremendous manager.
8.0

Average: 5.5

Biggest Attribute: +2.5 (Mic Skills)

Biggest Detriment: -1.5 (Look/Presence and Ring Skills)

Assessment: Those who think that The Miz would do much better as a manager than as a wrestler are probably correct. His biggest shining point is, by far, his mic skills, whereas what drags him down is his look and skill inside a ring. Without any sort of threatening charisma, The Miz could lend his mouth to some wrestlers who are lacking in the charisma/mic skills department. You're not getting anything particularly bad with The Miz, but when rating him, it is important to keep in mind just how much better he is at talking than everything else, by almost half the grid.

Look/Presence: Not much else to say other than Morrison smokes Miz in this category.

Charisma: Some will say that I've been unfair giving the nod to Morrison here. It's really only a 5% advantage, and I'd have you think about to how successful their babyface runs were. It is much of a muchness here, and charisma is often filtered through other qualities -- some people are charismatic because you find their appearance hypnotizing, and others captivate you with speeches. Neither has really made a big dent to the WWE's bottom-line as far as I know, so I'm not as interested in this section.

In-Ring: Morrison again smokes Miz. I don't think anyone would really debate this too much. Morrison has had great matches, whereas Miz is lucky if he gets a "good" one with a great talent.

Mic Skills: And this is where Miz smokes Morrison without much debate. Not too much else to say on that particular point.

Biggest Difference: 4.0 in terms of look. This might seem exaggerated. I'd say that Miz has really worked on his "presence" as a star, so maybe the gap is narrower now in this area than it was. But if you put the two standing against each other in a ring, I know which one I am instantly going to be much more interested in. Dismissing this, you can then go to next biggest gap.

Biggest Attribute: The Miz's mic skills. He not only has a 3.0 advantage over Morrison, but a 2.5 average over himself. I think that's why when thinking about this, The Miz's mic skills have people saying they would take him -- it's easily the most notable talent being discussed.

Biggest Detriment: John Morrison's mic skills. So, in addition to The Miz being such a great talker, you've got Morrison who is notably let down in this department more so than either man in any other area. I do think he sits higher in the promo department than Miz does in terms of ring skills, but when you compare the two, it's easy to put emphasis on the strengths of Miz as a talker and the weakness of Morrison as a talker, even if it isn't objectively the weakest quality of either man (those being Miz's look and ring skills -- or possibly just his ring skills if you think I'm being too harsh).

Look/Presence: Braun has got a weird dynamic going on. He is both simultaneously threatening and goofy. Remember when he looked like a giant Eugene in The Wyatt Family? He's managed to shed that with presence and slight tweaks to his look. I think his name is terrible, and that is part of his aesthetic. I think the parts that don't work, like with Miz's partnership with Maryse, are kind of weird strengths in a time where the fanbase cannot take the product completely seriously. I have a feeling that during the Attitude era, Austin is refusing to work with a dude that calls himself "Braun Strowman."

7.5

Charisma: A lot of people seem to be drawn to the Braun. I am not so much, but you have to look at what others do in this situation. The internet is in love with him, and he gets good live reactions. Ratings even seem to mildly react to him. Maybe it is because everything else is booked so shit, but for whatever reason, stuff seems to be working around this guy.

7.0

Ring Skills: There are some that think this guy is great. I am yet to see it. He's been involved in some fun brawls, but a lot of them involve him legitimately throwing shit at people's heads and genuinely risking the safety of guys he legitimately tosses over the top rope. It's fun, I get it, but I'm yet to see this guy really put on classics using the traditional tools of pro-wrestling. He's been breast-fed and protected. More power to him, but as his ring skill is exposed, that charisma might drop in future evaluations. I'm going average, because I don't think that's an offensive score at all. He's there. He does his job. If he's in there with people who matter, his work matters. If not, it doesn't.

5.0

Mic Skills: I actually like Strowman on the mic. I think his gruff voice is scarier than his appearance. He delivers lines with potency, from what I've heard, and you don't hear much about him embarrassing himself. He says he wants to kill people and it is generally received as such. There may not be a big body of great promo work, but there doesn't need to be.

7.0

Average: 6.625

Biggest Attribute: +0.875 (Look/Presence)

Biggest Detriment: -1.625 (Ring Skills)

Assessment: Braun Strowman is a big dude who captures the imagination enough and sells it with a grizzly voice. He's not offensive in the ring to effect people's enjoyment of him, and those who aren't expecting much might be genuinely surprised. A lot of guys with his size will often suck a lot more. He's also fairly consistently high across the board, which helps make him digestible, with his most noteworthy spike being that look of his, and his biggest detriment being his still relative "just thereness" in the ring.
By writing this out, I can identify what might hold me back on Braun -- he's got more of a noticable flaw, from my perspective, than a noticable strength. The Miz is fairly consistently average beyond his mic skills, but Strowman is fairly consistently "quite good" beyond his ring skills, which stands out to me. Writing this all down has helped me get more behind the things about Strowman that do work, almost instantly. It can be a good process for some.

Also, if Strowman continues to get better and better in the ring, and does work out ways to deliver better promos, and develops more of a presence, all whilst tweaking that look -- his charisma will probably go up too. There are definitely very big paws there.
