NEW WEEK MEANS NEW FAVE FIVE, DAWGS! For more in-depth explanations for these dudes, I did a write-up, but I'll give my list and a brief explanation here.
5.) Derrick Bateman, Johnny Curtis, and Maxine of NXT: Cheating yes, but I'm a devotee of NXT, and the show's been ridiculously fun because of this trio. All three have grown to be solid workers and have each established hilarious characters over the last few months, and it all culminated last week at Maxine and Curtis' "wedding".
4.) Chris Jericho: Just continues to be brilliant without actually doing anything. If that's not talent, I don't know what is.
3.) John Laurinaitis: Essentially my surrogate for CM Punk this week, simply because I think Johnny Ace has done just as much heavy lifting in their immergent feud as Punk has. He's a guy I started out hating, but now I can't help but smile every time he shows up. He's great.
2.) Daniel Bryan (AKA MAH BOI D-BRYAN): For essentially the same reasons as last week. He plays the completely oblivious heel to a tee, and has managed to carve out a gimmick that actually garners him a reaction (something his astounding ring work didn't accomplish with the general WWE crowd... for some reason), whilst still being the most entertaining man to watch in a WWE ring.
1.) Wade Barrett: The Barrett Barrage rolls on. Plainly said, Barrett looks like a champ. He talks like a champ. Why this guy hasn't had a serious title run in son long is beyond me, but he's just got such a great presence and makes it look so effortless, I think it's only a matter of time before he gets his shot at one of the major belts in WWE.
