TPWW Forums - View Single Post - DEBATE: Is it possible for guys like Jericho, RVD, Kane, etc. to still draw as ME's?

LC, nobody will ever go over Taker cleanly. He is made to be the strongest and most over guy on smackdown. Yeah, RVD is over, but Taker can't even be heel without getting a huge pop.

It's hard to pick an argument here. Some superstars will be way over with the crowd, no matter how buried they may be. Take Jericho as an example. The fans are crazy for him, he is a great worker (possibly the best in the WWE today), and has great charisma.

RVD, however, is extremely stale. On top of that, he sounds like a friggin hippie on the mic. His ring skills are only average, and every match with his 'unorthodox style' could be read off on a checklist.

Point I'm trying to make? A character can still draw if the ring work is good, he can get the fans going while he's on the mic, and maybe if he comes off a good feud with somebody worthwhile. If I had to pick, I'd say argument #2 because I feel some wrestlers can draw after being buried, but I still think that some can not.
