Super 20 - Week 2


20
-6
Heath Slater
Despite getting buried by a Leprechaun, Slater remains on the Super 20 just about for his sheer presence and comedic mannerisms during his "match" with Hornswaggle.  Choking out and kicking the little man is always a positive thing too, though nobody can do it quite like JBL did..

 The Miz
The Miz is re-finding his mojo as of late, getting back to basics as a singles star.  His feud with Truth should be comedy gold and hopefully we'll get a match between them at 'Mania.
18
new
Madison Rayne
Cemented her place in the Super 20 this week after getting pushed in a locker by Eric Young, that was hilarious.  Still the best diva/knockout in all of wrestling.
17
-1
Booker T
A good match with Cody Rhodes in what could be his last for a while, he was missed on Smackdown commentary this week.
16
+3
Kurt Angle
The closing scene of Angle, Roode and Bully Ray all with their submissions locked in their respective opponents was quality. Angle is a beast especially, with his ankle lock.
15
new
James Storm
James Storm yet again out-shone Bobby Roode on the mic and proved who is the real talent from Beer Money.
14
new
 Kevin Nash
After challenging Ultimate Warrior to a shoot MMA fight the night before 'Mania, Nash gets in here at 14 despite not being an active wrestler anywhere at the moment
13
-3
Michael Cole
A quiet night on Raw for Cole, but a good one on Smackdown.  With Bryan seemingly turning heel though, it remains to be seen whether Cole will continue to berate or applaud the World Champ.
12
-6
John Cena
Still one of the must-see acts on Raw, but his opening promo felt tired and repetitive from what we have heard before.  His feud with Kane is getting better still, but Kane is putting in the best work right now.
11
+4
Bully Ray
Helping to get over Roode with his immense mic work, Bully Ray is a real asset to TNA at the moment.
10
-1
Sting
The General Menace shone once again on Impact with another hilarious display.  His backstage scenes with the likes of Garrett Bischoff were strong too.
9
new
Eric Young
Without a doubt the funniest guy in wrestling right now, Santino doesn't have anything on EY.  "It's tough, there's a recession, but we're just two youngsters in love" had me in hysterics.
8
-7
John Laurinaitis
Helping carry CM Punk through their feud, Laurinaitis is the only guy keeping the WWE title scene alive right now, despite Punk promising to "make things interesting" after he took the belt from Del Rio.
7
+4
Kane
Dragging Zack Ryder down through the ring was classic Kane, and the fireball was unexpected and hilarious.  All it was lacking was some spooky synth pad music.
6
+1
Hunico
Perhaps my favourite in-ring worker in the WWE at the moment, and his mic work was perfect for his Mexican gangbanger gimmick.  The lowrider bike is genius.
5
n/c
Cody Rhodes
Fave five time!  Cody Rhodes stays at 5 after a solid week, beating Booker T on Smackdown in their Intercontinental Title match.  His backstage promo with his brother Dustin was a good sign of things to come.
4
n/c
Gunner
Gunner has to go over RVD tonight at Genesis to keep this hot streak alive.  I said last year when Crimson was on his streak that it belonged to Gunner.  He may not be picking up wins at the moment, but his DDT/piledriver onto the concrete spot is the most enjoyable thing in TNA right now.
3
n/c
Wade Barrett
Remaining at number 3, the Barrett Barrage is on a roll this week, after taking out Randy Orton and dominating Santino on Raw.  His mic work was spectacular as usual, and his beat down on Sheamus was enjoyable.
2
+16
Mark Henry
Give Mark Henry a full time job on commentary while he is out injured.  Definitely a contender for announcer of the year just for his 10 minute spot commentating on Daniel Bryan vs. The Big Show this week on Smackdown.  Pure brilliance.

new
 Chris Jericho
Chris Jericho returns to WWE and without saying a word becomes their greatest asset once more, just like he was when he left just under 2 years ago.  His promo was without a doubt a work of art. Flashing his pearly white smile and yelling George from Seinfeld's "I'm back, baby!" in a corny manner.  The sinister undertones of this promo is what separates Jericho from the likes of CM Punk when it comes to the art of the promo.  Will Jericho be wrestler of the year?
