I totally agree that Jericho is becoming very popular the last few weeks since they finally decided to give him somewhat of a push. His promos always make me laugh, and his in ring ability is par with many of the better wrestlers on Raw right now. He can make the transition between face and heel so well on the same night, which is what makes him so entertaining. I hope that his neverending feud with Christian/Trish/Tomko finally ends soon so he can get out of midcard hell. A feud with someone like Kane, or Benoit (the whole face vs. face respect type feud) would really get the fans behind him.

Cena has become way too watered down. I imagine that I would enjoy reacting to his crowd-pleasing promos, but to someone watching on tv every week it just gets really annoying. He needs to start being more badass like he was before (even with the FCC keeping an eye on him), or he needs to turn heel before he becomes a megastar which would be really hard to boo.

I don't think that Eddie needs a stable right now because I find his singles work very entertaining right now, and he always has the crowd behind him anyways. It would be good for the other wrestlers like Chavo Jr. and Classic if they were in a stable with Eddie, since they could also get higher status by associating with him. I don't think it would work too well at this point. A Latino-type faction would work well with someone replacing Eddie, such as Konnan since he has been rumoured to come to the WWE.

I definitely disagree with the fake Undertaker gimmick as well. Mark Calloway plays the deadman very well. He just has an eerie look to him, and he can do the cool thing where he rolls his eyes up. I don't think that anyone would be able to replace the Taker since the character was molded by Calloway himself, and he modified it into the present day and it still works rather well.

I want the Genetic Freak off my tv. Next.

Maven got huge pops when he first came into the Royal Rumble and eliminated the Undertaker and he rode off that for a while as the 'new kid' who had balls. Now that he came back, he doesn't really have any sort of gimmick and he lacks identity. He should become a heel very soon, maybe in a tag team with a more established midcard wrestler who would get Maven more credibility.

I miss Brock on Smackdown! lately. When I watch some of his old matches, I really enjoy his amateur wrestling ability, and the guy is also a freakin monster. I hope he will return sometime down the future if his NFL career doesn't work out. On a similar note, I sure hope Kurt Angle's health improves so that he can wrestle. He's hilarious as the GM, but I am aching for an Angle/Guerrero return match
