He was a big ol' stinker early this year, then did a couple MOTY calibre matches and all is forgiven. He's amazing.
How much does this guy weigh?
LA Park should be up there too, but he's only recently made reappearances regularly. I imagine he'll be towards the top after he breaks a glass bottle over Rooooosh's head and lights him on fire.
He'd put up there if I watched more of it if just for his work ethic and contribution to his company. The US title 'storyline' is one of the simplest/best they've had in years.
The TV show/1 hour format/not being on EVERY week is perfect for monsters. It's why no one gives a fuck about Big Show being huge. Because who cares you see him every week. Vince McMahon himself said the appeal of Andre would be wasted if you saw him all the time so I have no idea how that guy still books monsters the way he does.

I've watched too much older wrestling and not enough modern wrestling (outside WWE) to really do a Fave Five for this year.

A huge part of Cena's appeal is not because the storyline is so cut and dry, but of who he is. The backstory of where Cena was and where he is now is incredibly compelling to watch these new talents try their hand with Cena, the gatekeeper. That's been a huge contributing factor to what makes this storyline so compelling, and takes it to the next level. Whether you want to admit it or not, because of who Cena is and what he's done in the past, it plays a heavy role in this.

Yeah, it's been interesting watching people wrestle the the proverbially glass ceiling!

I'll bet Cena is pretty stoked that his all of his efforts have earned him an Honorable Mention slot on a bunch of nerd fanlists.
They're relegated to "Fave Five Blacks" lists for most people, which is a shame as Kofi just wrestled the perfect match.

He wouldn't be doing it if he didn't want super nerd approval, friend. This is a cry for help.

The only wrasslin' shirt I ordered this year so that means something.
Guilty, but it has been good. Many fresh matchups and new moves.
in Bryan's second match didn't they have him job to Shaemus and that's when he got hurt?

The Diary of a Nobody
I only started watching WWE this year with Wrestlemania, so my selection pool is rather limited:
1.) Dean Ambrose - Consistently entertaining and always, always looks like he's giving it 110% and enjoying it up there regardless of whom he's up against.
2.) Neville - Best used in short bursts as demonstrated when his match against Cena went on for far too long. He's always impressive to watch, but needs an expanded moveset if he's going to try in future for longer bouts and big events.
3.) John Cena - I went into watching wrestling expecting to be quickly fed up of "Cena wins LOL", but his Open Challenge sessions and new feud with Kevin Owens have been genuine highlights of the weekly shows and PPVs.
4.) The New Day - It took a few weeks after Wrestlemania for them to hit their stride, but I found myself amused by their goofy heel turn and misplaced positivity speeches.
5.) Sort of Damien Sandow - When I watched the Andre Memorial Match at Wrestlemania, I saw Sandow and something immediately clicked. His face turn there and standing up to The Miz in subsequent weeks were building up to something great, culminating in that grand speech to the audience.
There he is, I thought. The wrestler I want to follow and support. He's entertaining, he's charismatic and he had the underdog angle going for him.
Then Macho Mandow happened.
I really, really hope this phase passes quickly and he can go back to not being a joke.

I feel pretty negative about Macho Mandow. I don't know if it's because Randy's gone and this feels so desperate - I liked Axelmania's build to Wrestlemania, but this just feels like WWE doing what it often does - running something good into the ground.
New Day ABSOLUTELY have hit their stride after a rocky start, and I'm glad they have. They're really entertaining.

Sandow's been a joke for two years unfortunately. He had a hell of a match with Cena, but lost, and then for the next few months his gimmick was "guy who couldn't stop losing and got depressed about it" and then one day he made a promo imitating someone, and for months he'd imitate different people, then he imitated Miz and people loved it so he spent the rest of his time doing that until Mania where he turned on Miz. It was great
Then he lost the feud, imitated Savage with Axel, and is now off TV entirely

Dean Ambrose is starting to rub me the wrong way. He needs to tone down the twitching and shit. It makes him seem like more of a parody than a real character.
Dean been doing that since the CZW days. It's no different from Catcus Jack walking like his ankle is sinking to the ground.
