Still trying to figure out how you measure talent in a scripted environment. Also still trying to figure out why grown men watch WWE. Not that surprised Shamlesspel watches, definitely strikes me as the type of guy to do so.

Can you measure talent in an actor? Gymnastics? Because that's how you measure the talent of a wrestler, their work on the microphone doing promos and their in ring work wrestling.

It's a fricking scripted television show. They tell stories and act them out on tv and you act like it's weird to watch it?

Yeah, Jericho is doing his best work since his late-90s WCW days. I wouldn't be opposed to him having another run on top.

Nakamura is a rock star. It'll be interesting to see how he's handled once he makes the main roster.

Another guy who could become the best character face in quite a while is Bray Wyatt. He knows how to captivate a crowd, and he's only 29.

I dunno, but maybe we should ask Jon Stewart, or Billy Corgan, or that guy who's life has fallen so hard he was just elected president. Theyll tell us since theyre big fans.

It's not that fricking hard.

Mic work, in ring talent, ability to sale punches kicks hold etc, merchandise sales, crowd reaction

Not different than actors

Interesting gimmick but bray should have had at least a us or ic title run by now

I like bray I'm not sure why his title run is a tag team for his first but Orton adds a unique element to it

You do realize AJ Styles is probably the best wrestler in the world right now, right?

If you wanted to call him the greatest in ring talent of all time, I wouldn't argue against it

I'd argue it was Ricky "the Dragon" Steamboat.

Wonder what OP thinks about the fact that the President is in the WWE HOF?

There are lots of ways you could have planned your attack here and you chose "AJ Styles is no good".

You chose less than well.

Considering he started the thread a whole month after he had been elected, not that shocked

No offense but this should be on the Movie/TV board.

People don't go on the MSB and talk about Sly Stallone as the best boxer ever.

I mean we need some boundaries, right?

It's Circe de Soleil...

Are we going to debate on the MSB who the best trapeze artist is?
