Super 20 - Week 11, 2012


Guess who is #1? Is there even a need to guess? Read on, nontheless..

The Rock
He choked on the microphone and got owned by Cena for a second straight week, but again Rock's sheer presence gets him into the Super 20 for another week.. just about.

Randy Orton
Even though Randy Orton has been given a mid-card feud with Kane for WrestleMania, his presence back on TV gives a main event feel that is missing when he is out injure.

Justin Gabriel
Justin Gabriel put on yet another fantastic match Heath Slater this week, this time on Superstars. The two former tag team partners have a great chemistry together in the ring..

Heath Slater
..but I just give the edge to Heath Slater, despite being the loser in the match. I've stated it before, but I think Heath Slater has a unique presence that could be utilised in the mid-card on Raw or Smackdown.

Teddy Long
While the past couple of WrestleMania's could be criticised for having a poor build-up in the mid-card, this years is different as Teddy Long and John Laurinaitis continue to provide one of the most entertaining feuds in the wrestling world right now. Of course I am on Team Laurinaitis, but Teddy Long always provides a laugh as well.

Jack Swagger
Taking two losses from Santino Marella this week, but putting on a great cage rematch on Smackdown after dropping the US title sees Swagger re-enter the Super 20. That, and his new hair.. more subtle hilarity from Swagger.

Daniel Bryan
"...and my undeniable sex appeal"

Mark Henry
Ok, so all he did was destroy Ezekiel Jackson in a squash match, but that's all we need from Henry to rebuild him as the monster he was in 2011.

Bully Ray
Calfzilla just being Calfzilla.

Drew Mcintyre
Simply here for beating the shit out of Hornswoggle on Smackdown. If I had not already written my Top 5 Hornswoggle moments article, I'm sure that would have made the cut.

Sonjay Dutt
I keep thinking Sonjay Dutt doesn't have much more to offer after his first couple of weeks in Ring Ka King, but still he continues to surprise me. Running around with his new golden wings was hilarious. I've said it before, but TNA needs to bring this guy to their main roster.

Santino Marella
Santino gets his Cobra-covered palm on the US buckle after getting massively over with the live crowds in the past couple of months, and a great match on Smackdown with Jack Swagger sees him rocket back into the prestigious S20 in ninth.

Jeff Jarrett
Double J debuted the RDX stable with a killer in-ring promo reminiscent of the good old days of Immortal or nWo, burning minutes of valuable TV time with self-indulgent, over the top antics.

Sting
The Insane Icon is back in full swing, talking to himself in the mirror and smearing paint all over his face, the classic Sting of yesteryear has returned.

Joseph Parks / Abyss
Abyss picks up points this week for taking the tag straps in Ring Ka King with Scott Steiner, but he propels in at number 6 due to the debut of his mysterious Joseph Parks character. Seemingly the antithesis of what Abyss was, the Joseph Parks character should be an intriguing storyline in the weeks to come.

John Laurinaitis
..Mr. Excitement can seemingly do no wrong, as both continue to burn hot streaks in the Super 20, finding themselves amongst the upper echelon of talent every week. Their dynamic has grown to the point they both compliment each other in their backstage segments and you can safely bet everytime they appear you're going to get a laugh. This is what mid-card wrasslin' should be about. John Laurinaitis especially killed it this week in his spandex gear and oversized trainers for his match with T-Lo.

Triple H
Still cutting some of the best promos every week right now, Triple H is making this match with Undertaker feel like the match for the real wrestling fans watching. The Metallica theme for the match is a sharp contrast to the other pop bullshit music used to promote WrestleMania.

new

Shawn Michaels
Though Triple H was great on the mic again, it was Shawn Michaels that really brought it this week, announcing himself as the special guest referee of the Triple H-Taker match. He has the ability, like Hunter and Taker, to really draw you in to a storyline.

John Cena
Who else would be number 1 this week? Nobody else is coming close to what Cena is doing right now, even the aforementioned Shawn Michaels and Triple H. To get a crowd chanting "Tooth fairy" to one of the biggest wrestlers of all time set to appear in his first singles match for 8 years shows just how good Cena is on the microphone. Every week he is proving his naysayers wrong and showing he is even better on the mic than The Rock, when most expected him to fail. A significant milestone in the proud history of the Super 20, as Cena picks up his third #1 spot in a row!
