Top 20 Active Wrestlers in the WWE

**The Show Off** · 04-10-2004, 10:14 PM

15. Kane
This man impresses the hell out of me. Just like Booker T he's always proving me wrong. When he first entered the WWE his monster gimmick was great. He was this scilent brooding character that would just have an evil way of walking, which was great, they couldn't have picked a better man to be the ying to Undertaker's yang. Then when he was with X-Pac and began to show emotion slowly but surely he played that character great. His walk and his mannorisims begain to have this scared child look to it. Then X-Pac turned on him, and Kane began to have this dejected mannor to himeself. Then whe he tagged up with RVD he began to "look" like he was having fun, finally for the first time. Now he took off his mask and he just looks angry at the world, plus he turned out to be a great mic worker. When the bell tolled at Royal Rumble 2004 and he yelled "I buried you alive" that was brillant. His unmasked angry gimmick is also great. Also he's a near 7 foot wrestler that can run around like some like Stone Cold, he's just a class act.

14. Shawn Michaels
For any other wrestler being number 14 on the list of best active wrestlers would be great, for Michales number 14 is garbage. When all is said and done he'll be one of the top 10 greates of all time, and he can't even crack number 10 on the current roster? Why is he so low? Because he's not Shawn Michales anymore, in the ring? Yes. Out? No. Michaels' characters has been terrible ever since he came back. The thing that made HBK so great is that he was the most arrogant guy on the planet, not he has this man against the world gimmick which just sucks for him, sadly it's because he's born again. He needs to play the heel in the worst way, he needs that edge back, then the Show Stoppa will be back for real.

13. John Cena
Rapper gimmicks have been done before, and they've sucked. Based on that idea alone John Cena deserves a hell of a lot of credit, he took a proven gimmick failure and made it a winner. Cena is over like crazy, he's not the Rock or Austin, but he's solid. People claim that he over sells, but over selling is better then under selling. In the ring his kid is above average, on the mic he is well above average. His character is just about the best in the WWE right now. The brilliant thing is, he could stop rapping, which is the essence of his gimmick, and stilll be over as hell. If it weren't for a guy named Orton, this kid would be the biggest up and commer the WWE has to offer.

12. Ric Flair
He's a jet flyin' limosuene ridin' kiss stealin' wheelin' dealin' son of a gun that takes all the girls to space mountain. And you may not like it but you will learn to love it caus it's the best thing going today. Diamonds are forever and so is the Nature Boy! WHOOOO!!! Well, he's not going to be around forever, but whenever a person takes a hard knive edge chop to the chest the crowds will WHOO as respect to the 16 time world champion. Is he anything like the guy that wrestled Ricky Steamboat for 60 minutes? No. All I know is at Wrestlemania he carried a match that had 4 other wrestlers 3 of which are half his age, if that doesn't tell you all you need to know about the staying power of Flair then you don't know wrestling.

11. Triple H
On TV and off, it's all about The Game. He managed to be a heel inside the arena and outside the arena. He is probably the most hated person in wrestling I've ever seen. People will say that he is hated for all the wrong reasons, I say bullshit. Anything that gets you to watch is a good thing. And for a solid two years people on this forum and other forums have tuned in to WWE programing to see if Triple H will finally drop the title, you just love to hate him, but the key word is love. His promos work on two levels, it pisses off marks and smarks alike. Triple H has a multi fassited character that works always on two levels, and that alone makes him great. Not to mention that his matches are always intriguing if no other reason then the smarks saying "He's not going to drop the title tonightm he's such an asshole.... Or will he drop the title? Nah... Or maybe...
