Dont see how you could complain about Edge being in the top 25. He made us believe Matt Hardy wasnt a straight loser.

Considering that Matt Hardy was and still is a straight loser it wasn't that hard to make us believe more than we already knew...

Report: The Rock Reveals Return To WWE


The Rock, who is scheduled to be a part of Wrestlemania 29, has revealed when he is scheduled to return to the WWE. It appears that early 2013 will be when The Rock will return to the company to hype up Wrestlemania in April.

Johnson tweeted, "They asked I come back start of 2013. Have three films to shoot so trying to make it work. Miss that electricity though man."

This pretty much kills the rumors of The Rock working a match at Summerslam this year in Los Angeles.

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

The rock is coming back next year to promote gi joe..

First and foremost, the order is all types of screwed up. secondly, i'm going to comment on the ones I have in bold.

The Miz is overrated on the micYes dude has passion and shown some charisma on the mic, but  all he has is a catchphrase that the crowd likes to sing along with. Maybe they should try him as a face again and then I can better judge him. Dudes just been stale the last couple of years. Last good thing he did was come out dressed as The Rock.

Triple H is an all time great and one of my personal favorites, but his talking is all that. He's had his funny moments, but his comedy isn't all that, he just tries to "break kayfabe" from time to time and he knows he can get away with it because he has no one that will check him. When he's "The Game" he's pretty good though, cept for his 2002 comeback and his Randy Orton feud for Mania 25.

Edge has a ton of charisma, but he became very redundant overtime. Granted, he was being fed some stupid strorylines especially over the last 2-3 years of his career (him marrying vicki was pointless), but I still think some people below him were better on the mic such as Ventura, DiBiase, and even

JBL is not all that. His heal run back in the mid to late 2000s was funny, but I don't think that qualifies him for top 10 material, not over hogan's epic promos from the 80s, Macho Man's promos, or DiBiase. Him being Shawn Michaels' employer was classic though.

John Cena is the worst. His stuff with Rocky heading in to Mania was the best we've seen in awhile, but doesn't make him a great talker. He stole Punk's old references to try to get over and has had no success. Dude is the definition of a lame. Him being ranked is total fluke and everyone knows it. Just goes to show how biased and unjust that list is.
  

 

[T0INE]

So many unnecessary shots fired.

 

[rocky437]

Btw Undertaker's mic skills are Extremely underrated. During the attitude era he could match and put down austin and rocks promos. Undertaker is way better on the mic than Cena that's for sure.
* Mick Foley also should be higher on that list.  

 

[venom lyrix]

It's pretty insane how there are such great "characters" in TNA right now and they are all former WWE stars for the most part. Bubba Ray is jacked and great on the mic, Jeff Hardy looks insane, and Kurt has the personality - why can't they just bring these guys into the WWE and make it good again - Vince...buy out Hogan

 

[rusty shackelford]

-He looks like Bret Hart with less fans
-Is that Cactus Jack?
Road Dogg with the shots

 

[Peep Game]

I would have Cena either very low on the list, or an honorable mention solely for his 2002/03 promos. All that was gold.

Challenge accepted GHIMS.

Just saw the Angle/Styles match from Sacrifice, was one of the best matches of the year for me. I liked it more than Punk/Bryan.

 

[Peep Game]

that "Are You Serious" vid. Those shots thrown were just so random but hilarious

EDIT - saw the match, it was technically good, but the announcers and crowd we soooo bad that it made the match feel unimportant.
