Most of the people on this list was either a shitter or old when they were in WWE. The others were the same but on the indies.

>>Lee Johnson
Decent young jobber. Still a long way to go. B
>>Paul Wight
Still not that impressed with his announcing. Dark Elevation with him on were only good when Eddie Kingston was also there. C+
>>Red Velvet
Could be something more but other than being a thrift store Sasha Banks she hasn't done much. B
>>Shawn Dean
At least Maxwell gave him a win to brag about. D
>>Ethan Page
Very underused so far. C
>>Christian Cage
He has worked great in-ring when he was booked to. Being the new Marko Stunt is fine for his health, I guess. B+
>>Leyla Hirsch
I found her somewhat interesting at first, then became boring until turning heel. C-
>>Mark Henry
I'm fine with his limited roles on screen. B
>>Andrade El Idolo
Shaky direction at first but I think he is fine in AEW now. B+
>>Malakai Black
KINO A
>>The Varsity Blonds
Okay young jobbing team. I'm more interested of Julia Hart than them now though. C
>>Thunder Rosa
Good worker, but quite overrated IMO. B-
>>2point0
Boring, but does generic heel job well enough. C+
>>Fuego Del Sol
Fun jobber. Too bad Fuego Dos is now dead. C+
>>Jamie Hayter
I like joshi stiffness she brings in. And her being a PAWG. A-
>>CM Punk
Worth every pennies. A+
>>Ruby Soho
Good vet, but a bit overrated. B
>>Adam Cole
Still a great big match guy. Him working overtime on BTE is also a plus. A-
>>Bryan Danielson
Also worth every pennies. A+
>>Lee Moriarty
Good young worker. His match with Danielson was great. Would love to see more. B
>>Lio Rush
Good riddance. F
>>Bobby Fish
Boring. D
>>Daniel Garcia
Quite interesting youngster. With him joining Jericho's new faction I hope he will improve further. A
>>Jay Lethal
Not sure which direction he will go so far. Maybe the new ROH? C+
>>Tony Nese
Destined to be on Dark for a long time. C
>>Hook
Meme. But he does look great as a pro wrestler. B
>>Kyle O'Reilly
Boring. D
>>Mercedes Martinez
Not sure what they are gonna do with her after the introduction. C-

Good, need to use more:
Andrade, Christian, Ethan Page, Brian Danielson, Malachi Black, Tony Nese, Jay Lethal, Brian Pillman Jr, Lee Johnson,

Can’t believe they haven’t used him:
Paul Wight,

Good, need to use less:
CM Punk, Adam Cole, Redragon,

Used approximately:
Thunder Rosa, Jamie Hayter, Mark Henry, 2.0, Daniel Garcia, Hook, Shawn Dean,

Fuck off to ROH:
Leyla Hirsch, Red Velvet, Mercedes Martinez, Griff Garrison, Fuego, Ruby Soho, Lee Moriarty,

Adios, although he had potential in a mask: Lio Rush

I meant appropriately. I think he’s fine as Jericho’s lackey same with 2.0. I don’t like them that much but I don’t think they’re getting pushed to the moon. Same with Shawn Dean I didn’t know they were using him so yeah that’s being used appropriately because he’s ironically a (cuz he’s black) vanilla midget.

>CM Punk
I hate this guy but ngl, his Kingston and MJF feuds were really good, he needs to stop showing up every week

Great in the ring, great at promos, needs to bulk up he looks like a fag

I will only list the good signings and explain why. No time to waste on shitters/women wrestlers. Everyone not listed here could be replaced by blowup doll that Kenny Omega wrestled and the ratings would still stay the same.
>CM Punk
Biggest draw any company can get on a full time schedule.
>Bryan
Pre-made main event talent with loads of experience to share with younger guys.
>Adam Cole
I don't like the guy but he has given them a PPV main event caliber opponent. He could be more interesting if they weren't rehashing NXT factions that have already been on TV for 5 years.
>Christian and Black
Two solid upper midcarders who can occupy 15 minutes of TV time and give a good result. Helps keep people like Sonny Kiss away from Dynamite.
>Garcia and Hook
Two young prospects that are untouched by WWE. They might not do much now but they can develop into solid characters if they rub shoulders with the right wrestlers.
