DISCUSSION - Unofficial WWE "Rating" System of Wrestlers


I thought of this idea from the 'Wrestlers with no future' thread, and also from playing NHL 15' on my PS3.


I have become interested in creating an unofficial 'rating' system for WWE Wrestlers that is somewhat similar to how hockey players are rated on NHL 15' for PS3.


Basically, Wrestlers would be rated on a scale of 0-5 on a scale of potential.


Potential:

5)


A '5' is given to a Generational Superstar. A franchise superstar that the WWE builds around, and a franchise superstar that is capable of bringing in new fans or catering to a certain demographic.


Examples: Bruno Sammartino, Hulk Hogan, Andre The Giant, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, John Cena.


4.5)


A 4.5 designation is given to those wrestlers that have had multiple World/WWE title runs, and are generally considered to be legit main-eventers within the WWE. These guys also have experience in being 'the top dog' in the company, and have also achieved legendary status within the Wrestling industry:


Examples: Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair, Undertaker, Triple H, Randy Savage, Goldberg.


4.0)


A 4.0 is someone that has had multiple world title reigns within the WWE, but have never really quite been "THE GUY" (As Triple H once stated in a promo last year). Most 4.0'ers will be considered HOF worthy without a doubt, but at no point in their careers, were these wrestlers ever considered to be "the guy that you build your company around."


Examples: Edge, Randy Orton, Dave Batista, Chris Jericho, Kurt Angle,


3.5)


A 3.5 is someone that has had a few World/WWE title runs, but for the most part, is known as a main-event jobber.......or someone that has had most of their success as an Intercontinental Champion, US Champion, or Tag Team Champion. It is not uncommon for these wrestlers to win a World/WWE title, and then go back to main-event jobbing, or going back to mid-card status.


Examples: Kane, The Big Show, Sheamus, Alberto Del Rios, The Miz, Christian, Jeff Hardy, Chris Benoit, JBL, Rey Mysterio, Jeff Jarret.

3.0)


A 3.0 is someone that has basically done everything in the WWE (i.e. IC champ, US Champ, Tag team champ), except win the World/WWE title. Often times, these guys will have a strong push throughout their careers either as an IC champ or Tag team champ, and will then have a brief stint feuding with main-eventers before being deemed as 'unworthy' by WWE Management (for logical or illogical reasons)............before possibly being faded into obscurity leading to a release.


Examples: Santino Marella, Billy Gunn, Big Bossman, Test, X-Pac, D'Lo Brown, Val Venis, Cody Rhodes, Kofi Kingston.


2.5)


A 2.5 is someone that has a brief run as either an IC champ or a Tag team champ at some point in their careers, but for the most part, is a low mid-card performer.


Examples: Scotty 2 Hotty, The Hurricane, Steve Richards, Godfather


2.0)


A 2.0 has been on the roster for a little while, but hasn't won anything as of yet.


Examples: Adam Rose.


x<2.0)


Someone below 2.0 is on NXT. 1.5 is a main-eventer on NXT, 1.0 is a mid-carder on NXT, 0.5 is a jobber on NXT and is likely close to being future endeavored. A '0' is a faggot like Chimera giving head to his friends in some backyard wrestling promotion.


Colors:


Wrestlers would also be given one of four colors:


-Green
-Yellow
-Red
-Grey


-Green: Extremely likely to achieve that potential (correspondent to the number that you are rated),
-Yellow means you are somewhat likely to achieve that potential.
-Red means you are highly unlikely to achieve that potential.
-Grey means that you have already reached your potential and have pretty much 'peaked' and won't go any higher.


Some current Wrestlers that come to mind in terms of ratings:

If I had to give ratings to certain wrestlers of today in the WWE, here is what I'd give:


-John Cena = 5.0 Grey
-Roman Reigns = 4.0 yellow
-Daniel Bryan = 4.5 Red
-Bray Wyatt = 4.0 Green
-Dean Ambrose = 4.0 Red
-Seth Rollins = 4.0 Green
-Cesaro = 3.5 Green
