about why Brock Lesnar was a "MISS":

Actually, I listed him as a from "HIT" to "MISS".

The main rationale for giving him a "MISS" was his exit from WWE. If it were due to injuries or what have you... it would have been more respectable. I'm not going to argue him going to get his money, but he wasn't even around in WWE for 2 years yet.

as for him being a "HIT" beforehand, he was, but it was rather forced. They forced Brock as a "badass" in the vein of Steve Austin. They forced Brock into the top slot as a rookie (which, in some way, was captivating, but overall, somewhat disappointing)...too much was just forced. It was like HHH without the backstage grease. Like Goldberg with actual wrestling prowess. Eventually he finally hit as a main eventer...but they really should have taken their time with him.

He was definitely skilled and put on a great show, but I'll dare say Chris Benoit was better on the mic than Brock was in the beginning. That voice of his was almost of Mike Tyson levels.

It was almost like they set him up to burn out.

Eunos has more than 1,000 rep points (1,000+)Eunos has more than 1,000 rep points (1,000+)
Doug and Danny Basham = Maybe (Their one of the very few proper Tag Team At the Momment.. I think they are definatly better then what there making out to be so far)

Brock Lesner = Hit (Despite all the Stuff thats happened recently I would be more then Happy to see Brock in a WWE ring again one day)

John Cena = Hit (I just like the guy)

Mark Henry = Miss (Terrible wrestler)

Mark Jindrak = Maybe (Promos need abit of Developing.. But with Theodore Long at his side.. Im sure Jindrak has hope)

Garrison Cade = Maybe (Need to see him more to be honest)

Victoria = Hit (Definatly one of the finest the Womens division has to offer right now)

Jazz = Hit ( If this were a good looking contest she would be a Miss but its not so Jazz is definatly a good addition to the Womens division)

Gail Kim = Maybe (I must say i do enjoy her Submission move.. I just need to see more of her..But i definatly am enjoying what i see so far)

Randy Orton = Hit (Developing very nicely and getting confident in the ring.. Randy has also proven that he is cabable of being a future main event.. I can't wait for him to Feud with Cena)

Rodney Mack = Maybe (To be fair i havent seen enough of Rodney Mack)

Rico = Hit ( I must say Rico is actually becoming one of my favourites as of late...Great Character)

Miss Jackie = Miss (Nah)

Rene Dupree = Hit (I really like this guy.. His definatly proven himself.. I hope Rene is here to stay.... I can definatly see him Main eventing in a few years time...)

Sylvain Grenair = Maybe (To be fair he really hasnt had the same oppertunities as Rene.. This guy needs to develop more but hopefully will be able to be just like Rene one day)

Rob Conway = Hit ( This guys a good addition to the Roster.... To be honest i actually enjoy Las resistance.. Even if the Anti American Gimmick has been done many a time)

Batista = Hit (Another guy i really like.... He'll probably be a Key Player in the Future)

Jon Heidenreich = Miss (Only saw this guy once... God awful.)

Matt Morgan = Maybe (Matt isn't terrible but he is lacking somewhat.. I think going back to Ovw for awhile was a good idea.. Hopefully Matt will Develop and become one of the best Big guys in the WWE ever)

Orlando Jordan = Maybe (This guy just hasnt offered anything yet... he looks like he might carry some potential but since being in WWE he just hasnt done anything at all to get himself noticed)

Nidia = Hit (One of Tough Enoughs better offerings)

Charlie Haas = Hit ( Ok so Charlie isnt moving to the top as fast as Shelton but i must admit im actually enjoying this thing with him an Rico right now.. But eventually i do want to see haas break away. I would definatly like to see Charlie main eventing in Time..One of the many Potentials today)

Shelton Benjamen = Hit ( It's a long cut but i think Shelton has the Potential to be the first Black WWE Champion unless you count The Rock which i don't. With Victories over Triple H and Ric Flair it seems Shelton is Definatly flying to the top. I would like to see him become IC champ first. And hell in the Distant future a Haas/ BenJamin Rivallry.. IMO It would be ashame for only 1 of these 2 to make it whilst the other gets left behind)

91 is an awful person91 is an awful person91 is an awful person
91 - dishing out more "maybes" than Captain Indecisive.

Doug Basham = Maybe: Decent enough wrestler I guess but the Bashams have garnered zero interest so far - they'll need either repackaging or a decent feud/angle to get going, but at least we've got an actual tag team in the ranks.

Danny Basham = Maybe: See above.

Brock Lesnar = Hit/Miss: I'm sure you can work out why, and if he ever returns you can stick a big "maybe" on him too.

John Cena = Hit: Damn popular and posseses a decent gimmick. Only risk is that his current material sometimes feels so watered down and "meh, sod the decent jokes, I'll just suck up to the home town and call my opponent a bender". If he can get some better raps going and polish his ring skills a bit, he'll be more than fine.

Mark Henry = Miss: I bet Vince wishes he could set his time machine back to 1996 and stop himself hiring the big lug.

Mark Jindrak = Maybe: Not bad in the ring. Since splitting with Cade, and I'm not entirely sure why since neither man seems to have masses of direction going for them since, he's not done much to grab my attention but at least he's not being actively buried.

Garrison Cade = Maybe: Same as above really, perhaps a touch higher since his face seems to remind me of Bobby Eaton.

Victoria = Hit: Can't find any reason to pout about her here.

Jazz = Hit: See above. Again.

Gail Kim = Maybe: Leaning towards 'Miss' right now, but I'll give her a chance to impress.

Randy Orton = Hit: I always liked him but I predicted before Backlash that his match with Foley could be one that makes him. He's learning fast too, which always helps and he has bags of charisma, plus they seem to have plenty of faith in him to get behind him and give him a big push, which always helps.

Rodney Mack = Miss: Pah, fuck that.

Rico = Maybe a hit: If they can stick with him long enough to get over, then they've got a potential hit on their hands. Great wrestler and I digged the old Adrian Street character back in the day, so why not Rico too?

Miss Jackie = Miss: At least in terms of ringwork, but at least she's not wrestling that much right now, so I'll let her off.

Renee Dupree = Hit: I like Dupree, he plays his character well and he's pretty good in the ring. I'm content with him and I'm enjoying his schtick on Smackdown and my enjoyment is always what matters.

Slyvain Grenier = Maybe: Everyone seems to be so down on the guy. OK, so he's not as good as Dupree or Conway, but he's far from totally dire in my eyes. That said, he's got a lot of learning to do.

Rob Conway = Maybe, but more of a maybe than Grenier, in a good way. For Conway, that is.: La Resistances push seemed to stop with Conway, which probably doesn't help, but again he's very good in the ring and has potential, they just need to find a niche for him. Still, I am hearing those who say he's got all this potential, they just need to find a way to use it.

Batista - Hit: Dave "may or may not be gay" Batista as me and my entourage christened him after Randy Ortons Wrestlemania monologue. I actually quite like him, which surprises me actually. OK, he's no Bret (oh god, is he no Bret) but he's reasonable enough for a big guy and I'd rather they pushed him than half the other hosses they've got and I agree with Heyman (there, it's happened) in that he has a superstar look to him.

John Heindenreich = Maybe: HEEEEEEEERE'S JOHNNY! Actually I've never seen him, so it'd be unfair of me to judge, but give him a Jack Nicholson gimmick anyway just to appease me. But not really.

Matt Morgan = Miss: Way to sell that chopblock at the Rumble Matt. Suddenly I can appreciate why he was tagging with Nathan Jones - get them both out of the way in the same match.

Orlando Jordan = Maybe: He's like my futile attempts at wrapping presents at christmas - needs repackaging. Or something, a push maybe, I dunno. He's alright I guess.

Nidia = Maybe: I don't dislike Nidia and thought she was quite good looking until I watched No Way Out and it appeared as if she'd changed her face (while I'm at it, anyone else think Victoria looks like Davina McCall these days...). They need to find something for her to do.

Charlie Haas = Hit: Looked great at part of TWGTT. Not sure how this Rico deal will pan out but he's a great wrestler so he should be fine.

Shelton Benjamin = Hit: Another great wrestler and they look to be interested in pushing the guy. That seems to have slowed down in the last couple of weeks, but I'm willing to give them plenty of time to get it right.

Randy Orton = Hit - Has potential to be the next Rock
Rodney Mack = Maybe (I think he has something in him he hasn't been able to show yet)
Rico = Maybe - better managing than wrestling
Miss Jackie = MISS - ABOMIDABLE
Renee Dupree = BIG HIT
Slyvain Grenier = ^ up there
Rob Conway = Maybe, I dunno, he kinda reminds me of Disco Inferno
Batista - halfway between hit & maybe
John Heindenreich = what were they thinking?
Matt Morgan = Is too much a part of the background, can't do anything really noticable, so MISS
Orlando Jordan = same as Rodney Mack
Nidia = Miss - WWE would do better by poaching Lollipop from TNA, & THAT'S SAYING SOMETHING!
Charlie Haas = HIT
Shelton Benjamin = UNBELIEVABLE HIT - The pupil really outshined the teacher on this one.
