Rank the "New Wave" of WWE Superstars
 

Inspired by a post that Mr. Pierre made. Take pretty much every wrestler who has debuted in WWE, post CM Punk, and rank them. You can rank how many and for whatever reason you want. It can be wrestling skills, overall ability, or their kayfabe accomplishments in WWE.

I'll post mine later.

My Top 10

1) Jack Swagger
2) Sheamus
3) Wade Barrett
4) Daniel Bryan
5) Kofi Kingston
6) Alberto Del Rio
7) Dolph Ziggler
8) Evan Bourne
9) Cody Rhodes
10) Kaval

Post CM Punk meaning everybody who debuted after he did.

Ok then, edited.

I like Sheamus and Swagger, the rest can go fuck themselves.

So that doesn't include Punk? If not, here's my list. If he is to be included, then put him at 1 and everyone else slides a spot.

1. Wade Barrett
2. Daniel Bryan
3. Sheamus
4. Dolph Ziggler (Spirit Squad shouldn't really count)
5. Hart Dynasty (collective unit)
7. Alberto Del Rio
8. Evan Bourne
9. Kaval
10. Jack Swagger & Kofi Kingston (tie)

Others (in order):
Santino Marella
Michael McGillicutty
Cody Rhodes
Ted Dibiase Jr.
Justin Gabriel
Yoshi Tatsu
Slater, Sheffield, Young, Tarver, Otunga, Harris etc.
(No real preference in ranking. I've only really cared about these guys as Nexus goons so far, so they're all equals besides Gabriel and McGillicutty who stand out a bit more. And Barrett is obviously the leader and lightyears ahead.)

Don't really give a fuck:
Luke Gallows
Drew McIntyre
Croft and Barretta
Ezekiel Jackson
Tyler Reks
Vance Archer
The Usos



You know, The Miz didn't start as a wrestler on the fulltime roster until Sept. 2006 (after Punk). Obviously he was "around" before Punk though. So can he be counted?

ehhhhhhhh THE MIZ!!!!

2. sheamus
3. swagger
4. bryan
5. gabriel

so eh yes he can

A CSL post I actually agree with. His matches with Orton and Cena were very good.

This is the most accurate list, fuckers :foc:

1) Wade Barrett
2) Sheamus
3) Jack Swagger
4) Daniel Bryan
5) Kofi Kingston
6) Cody Rhodes
7) Drew McIntyre
8) Kaval
9) Evan Bourne
10) Zack Ryder

Miz was in WWE way before CM Punk. So fuck off :foc:

Miz debuted on WWE television in May 2006. Punk started in July 2006.

I stand corrected

but technically, Miz really started from Tough Enough in 2005

Barrett, Swagger, Ziggler & Sheamus are the stand outs to me.....

With guys like Kofi, McIntyre, Rhodes, Kaval & Bourne being one step behind.....

Sheamus, DiBiase, Rhodes, Natalya, and Kofi are the only ones I can actually watch.

But he was a host. He didn't do any wrestling. Whatever though, he had been around for a while anyways

I get the feeling that DBD is unappreciated the match he had with Swagger was easily the best of the night yet the reaction was mediocre


1.Barrett

2.Daniel Bryan

3. Kingston

4.Evan Bourne

5. Justin Gabriel

I'm curious how this turned into Top 5s and 10s. I thought Triple Naitch asked for a ranking of everyone active that debuted since 2006.

Daniel Bryan
Barrett
Kaval
Kingston
Evan Bourne
Swagger
Sheamus (He's better than he came off last year)

Those guys.

1. MVP (debuted at Survivor Series 2006 I do believe, a few months after Punk appeared on ECW) Just a biased choice being my favourite wrestler
2. Wade Barrett - First british guy that can believably go all the way to the top
3. Cody Rhodes - Really coming into his own even though he looked like 'yourself' from WWF Challenge on the NES
4. Layla - For some reason has gone from Diva search winner to competent and entertaining wrestler, she impresses me
5. The other Nexus guys - exciting amount of potential
6. Alex Riley - Drunk driving genius on the mic, needs a chance to show what he's got

Sheamus
Daniel Bryan
Wade Barrett
Kofi
DiBiase

I can't be bothered to rank them etc, but I can definitely confirm:

1. Wade Barrett.

1. Sheamus
2. Barrett
3. Bryan
4. Del Rio
5. Ziggler
6. Swagger
7. Santino
8. Kingston
9. Evan Bourne
10. Kaval

Wade Barret is the man

1. Barret - Great wrestler, great character, great all round.
2. Bryan - Amazing wrestler. Enough said.
3. Sheamus - Credible threat. Love his matches.
4. Santino - Pure gold. Needs to be repackaged as a credible threat!
5. Gabriel - Enjoyable. Would like to see more once he is out of Nexus
6. Ziggler - Keep him with Vicki for as long as possible
7. Swagger - Awesome and Enjoyable. However should have kept the American wrestling gear.
8. Kaval - See explanation 2.
9. Natalya - Love her!
10. Alex Riley - Great mic skills. Want to see a lot more of him actually wrestling and winning.

Special mention (in no particular order): Evan Bourne, Alberto Del Rio, Michael McGillicutty, Cody Rhodes, Ted Dibiase Jr., and Drew McIntyre

sooooooooooooooooooooooooo now you can FUCK OFF

This is probably the most good, young talent WWE has had all at once. And the best thing about it is that they (WWE) are developing all of them all at once, in different ways. They're not just young guys who are jobbing to the stars...they are BECOMING stars.
