Okay, so I'm kinda bored. I've shut my xanga down, and while I certainly don't regret doing that at all, I do kinda miss my Top 10 Lists. So just for fun, here's one that came to me earlier today:

Ravage's Top 10 Wrestlers I'd like to see released:

10) Tori Wilson - She can't wrestle. She can take her clothes off well, but that doesn't require her to be on my TV every Monday night, cause you're not going to see anything there anyway.

9) Ashley Massaro - She can't wrestle. She can take her clothes off well, but that doesn't require her to be on my TV every Friday night, cause you're not going to see anything there anyway. Besides, those two fang-looking lip rings are horrid looking.

Gene Snitsky - Call me crazy, but I think Zit-for-brains may have one final shot at redemption on ECW. I'll withold final judgement for a while, but he's been on this list for quite some time now.

7) Rob Van Dam - The 5 move-wonder. He's just old and busted. He can't go like he used to, and gets winded way too easily. He's never improved on the stick, despite being given ample chance last year. He's still a druggie and a fool. It's time for him to go.

6) Eugene - The gimmick is dry, and it doesn't appear that there's any room for Nick Dinsmore to actually have a role as a normal character. He's played the retard for too long, and now the gimmick is stale.

5) Ric Flair - I'm not advocating cutting Ric completely, but his wrestling days are surely numbered. It's time for him to move into a commissioner/manager style role permanently. I just don't enjoy seeing him in-ring anymore.

4) Cryme Tyme - Some of the funniest promos and backstage skits I've ever seen can't make up for a total lack of anything in the ring. I want to see more technical wrestling and less punchy, punchy, kick, kick.

3) Test - K, Horseface, tho.

2) The Great Khali - OMG...do I even have to explain why? This guy makes Mark Henry look like a luchadore!

1) Boogeyman - Why is he above Khali? Because he's equally unskilled, but immensely more irritating. Honestly, I don't mind the worm thing, but it's been overdone. I'm more pissed that he was so quickly put over such great workers as JBL and Booker, while never truly having to wrestle a full match. Now, he's finally been jobbed to Finlay, but is only dragging him down in the process. Face it...how can a heel draw heat against a face that nobody cares about?

lol, my #8 turned into a smiley!

My top 10:

#10 - Vickie Guererro. Seriously, C'mon already.

#9 - Layla. Of all the diva search winners, she's the one who's done the least.

#8 - Funaki. I love Funaki, really... but when was the last time he did anything? Even the "Smackdown numbah one announsah" thing? OK, let me rephrase -- when was the last time he did anything that didn't involve the word "squash?"

#7 - Mike Knox. Boring. No gimmick. No charisma. Thankfully also no TV time lately...

#6 - Brooke. The fact that you're probably thinking "Brooke who?" is why.

#5 - Rob Van Dam - obviously not willing to work to improve himself.

#4 - Viscera. Yay, he had his little angle with Lillian. Now go 'way plz.

#3 - MIZARK Henry. Yes, he's still under contract... a contract which he extended at some point last year. This man has spent more time in the Turd Polishing machine than any other wrestler. His "tenure" nearly rivals that of Undertaker and Kane, yet he's spent more time OFF television than ON it.

#2 - Boogeyman. The only reason he's not #1 on my list is because he actually has some charisma and can do a few moves, unlike...

#1 - The Great Unpolishable Turd, Khali. Nuff said.

I could talk for years about all the things I would do to change the WWE into a respectible wrestling company but since we are just doing our Top 10 termination candidates, I'll play along:

MY TOP 10

10 Miz - Not a great wrestler. Just playing himself as a character.

9 Kelly Kelly - Waste of money. Just eye candy, doesn't belong in wrestling.

8 Layla - Waste of money. Just eye candy, doesn't belong in wrestling. Also, STOP with the DIVA searches. Its a huge waste of money on some chick who's not gonna end up doing anything. Christy was the only useful one & they fired her, go figure.

7 Brooke - Waste of money. Just eye candy, doesn't belong in wrestling.

6 Umaga - Boring, over done gimmick with no in ring talent.

5 Mark Henry - Biggest waste of money...EVAR!

4 Test - Another huge waste. No talent, period.

3 Snitzsky - See #4.

2 Batista - Lost everything he once had after his last set of injuries. Doesn't belong in a ring anymore, much less with a title! /slapforehead

1 Khali - Second biggest waste of money...EVAR!

Adding to this....

My Top 10 Deserving A Push

10 Regal - He needs to retire & be GM of Smackdown. He's an awesome personality but is no longer fun in the ring.

9 Kennedy - ...Kennedy! He needs a push. He needs some good stories and to be allowed to take his character to the next level. Allow him to put on a wrestling super show when he's on TV!

8 Benoit - He needs one more title run then a retirement. The heel who can't be beat who be perfect for him.

7 Kane - One last push as the insane monster would be the perfect end to his career.

6 Highlanders - Best tag team in 6 years. Still no titles for them?????

5 Kevin Thorn - He's screwed on ECW but he fits. Great character with good in ring ability deserves a push on Smackdown maybe.

4 Marcus Cor Von - Needs a HUGE push. Put the ECW title on him & let him go ape! Great fued with Lashley I think. He's got history & needs to be treated better than a nub.

3 CM Punk - He sort of is on a push but he needs to be the top draw in ECW....cuz he is.

2 Helms - He lost his title for no reason so now he needs to be US Champ & book him as a solid mid carder instead of the bottom of the barrel.

1 King, BOOKAH! Never should have lost his title. He is the best Smackdown has right now, period. His gimmick is lame but he is making the best of it by acting like he is playing a king role as Booker T, its funny. He needs to be the Smackdown top dog and soon revert to Booker T again, YA DIG?!


I agree with most of your guys picks but I think mine are higher than some of those. At least some of the guys you picked can wrestle (Dinsmore being the only one really, he just needs a new gimmick.) I'd be fine with everyone on both your lists being gone tho, except Dinsmore.

respond with your top 10 to be pushed ya turdZ!!112

My list is similar to Adam's, though arranged differently.

10) Johnny Nitro - I think with a little mic work, he's ready to start testing the waters of the lower main-event, although perhaps on Smackdown, not RAW. For that matter, he would be a legit contender for the ECW title.

9) CM Punk - He's on the wrong show. He'd be best suited right now to go after the Cruiserweight title, and then move on rather quickly to the US title.

Kevin Thorne - He could easily be pushed as a monster on Smackdown, or a midcarder on RAW. Again, he's just not right for ECW (besides gimmick). I consider ECW to be merely a place for people to get their start, and work out gimmicks, etc.

7) Mr. Kennedy - I don't want to see him with a title too soon, but he should always be a legit contender for the big strap. Another couple runs with the midcard title wouldn't hurt.

6) Chavo Guerrero - Cruiserweight title? What a waste. I don't know why he didn't take the US strap, it just didn't make sense.

5) Charlie Haas - Either TWGTT needs pushed to the moon within the tag division, or Haas needs to go to ECW to re-establish his awesomeness as a worker. Then he'd easily be a viable ECW champ or SD midcarder.

4) Marcus Cor-Von - Adam hit the nail on the head...with history like his, Brown totally needs to be at least midcarding on SD or RAW. ECW is NOT the place for him unless it's feuding with Lashley for the strap.

3) Christ Benoit - One last title run is just the ticket. Preferably as the unbeatable heel. I really like that idea.

ties with

3) JBL - I hear rumors that there's one more run for JBL coming, although there are no particulars. If this is true, I'd like to see him try his luck at being a huge face. He's just so damn charismatic and funny that it'd be a shame not to try it.

2) Shelton Benjamin - The most under-used wrestler today. It's an absolute travesty that THE SINGLE wrestler most responsible for making the money in the bank matches superb is not involved this year. And it's not that he's doing something else...he's doing NOTHING! I honestly believe that Shelton can main event, based on nothing more than his skill in-ring. Even though he can't act (neither can Benoit), he can get over very easily as a super-technical guy that just can't be caught/pinned.

1) Kane - Nobody in WWE history has towed the company line better or more consistently than Kane. He needs a legacy to retire on, and I think a solid title reign (hopefully a long one) is really the only way to send the big guy out. What's more...I would like to see Taker as Champ in WM 24, and have Kane snap the winning streak AND take the title. Of course, it's probably just a pipe dream, since Batista will be breaking the streak this year.
