Top 10 WWE Saviors Who "I" Think Keep Mature Fans Hooked

1 of 13

Hey guys, I am back.

Ever since I joined this site I have read a lot of people criticizing WWE for many decisions and so have I.

With that said, people still continue to express their loyalty towards the product and so do I, by watching it every week.

Now, I wondered who are the "real wrestlers,” who still keep the “mature fans,” hooked to it.

I mean we all know that the kids just love John Cena but the mature fans don’t.

The kids find Rey Mysterio’s 619, “interesting” but as I have read on this site, many adults don’t. These adults have every reason to as they are not of the same age as us and hence, have a different and rather “better” mind set than we do.

So I wondered, Who Are The Real Saviors Of The WWE?

I mean who keeps the “mature” fans hooked to it.

In this article, I have formulated a list of top 10 wrestlers who still make the adult fans tune in every week and in a way, give them something to spend their time and money on.

I know that my previous article was also a slide-show but sorry to say, I was running out of ideas for an article and secondly, after this article I won’t get much free time to write because my school is reopening, and so I thought of writing this one down.

Also please note that I have taken the “mature audience” as the audience whose age is 18 years and above.

Also this is a kind of a difficult list to assign ranks to, so I have allotted positions to the various wrestlers on the basis of their position currently in WWE, how much applause or heat they get from the crowd, and whether or not they are in the main event scene. However, exceptions are always there.

Hope you like it!

And also before starting I would request you all to read this fantastic article written by Mike AKA The Professor as it deserved many more reads than it did. You can check it out at this link- http://bleacherreport.com/articles/374970-the-professors-journal-who-cries-for-the-wrestler

So here we go, hope you enjoy it.

10. The Miz And John Morrison

At No. 10 are the two “Future Main Eventers” of the company — The Miz and John Morrison.

Now honestly, it was tough choosing either one of them but then they both deserved to be on this list.

Considering the fact that both are two top mid-carders, who are deserving of a main event push and have been put at the same position.

The Miz is on this list of mine simply because of the “actual heat” he has been generating of late.

I mean ever since he returned after having (according to storyline) lost his WWE contract, his performance has gone up every week.

His mic skills are simply awesome.

The heat he generates from the crowd bears testimony to the fact that he is indeed “here to play” and deserves to be pushed.

I have read many articles on this site where people have said that he deserves to be at the top and even I agree with it.

With his cocky attitude along with superb and ever improving mic. skills and importantly his ever improving in-ring abilities, he sure is a savior of the WWE.

Tied along with him is former tag-team partner, “The Friday Night Delight,” John Morrison.

Since the draft last year Morrison has been one of the top mid-card draws on the SD brand.

His performance every single week has been great and do not have many flaws to be criticized by the mature fans.

He did a great job for the short time he was the IC Champion and is getting a hell of a lot of cheers from the crowd.

Also as I just realized after reading a comment on one of the recent articles, he does have a lot of fans following from the mature female followers as well.

His mic skills need to be improved but he is still very good in the ring and rather entertaining so he is indeed a real savior of WWE.

9. Matt Hardy

Matt Hardy is a No. Nine.

Now, as I said, he is one of the exceptions in this list of mine.

Even though his current position in the WWE is not as good as JoMo and the Miz, thanks to his insanely amazing performances along with brother Jeff in those extreme matches in the good old days, he is placed above in this list.

Honestly, Hardy should have been placed way above in this list but he has to go down as one of the most unluckiest wrestlers ever in WWE history. If I were Vince then he would have won the Top Championship many times already.

Matt Hardy rose to popularity thanks to his jaw dropping performances in the Attitude Era. He along with his brother Jeff literally made the Tag Team Division well “insane” and got a lot of fan following for his performances.

Considering the fact that still many of the mature WWE fans are crazy about the AE which he was a part off and those fans still love him he becomes an obvious savior of the WWE.

His great in-ring skills mixed with his ability to cut good promos even better than Jeff and the fact that he still is “in contract with WWE” make the viewers tune in and watch this “OMG UNDERRATED” savior of WWE.

8. Christian

Captain Charisma Christian is No. Eight

There is no doubt that Christian is surely one of the major reasons why the mature fans still love to watch WWE every week.

Ever since he returned to the WWE last year, he played a major part in helping ECW get some ratings at least.

Christian like Matt Hardy is worthy of a title push as soon as possible.

In fact, his push is overdue, but Champion or not, he is a huge reason why mature fans tune in every week.

He has tons of wrestling talent and has a right mix of both aerial and grappling moves.

He, like Matt Hardy, rose to prominence back in the AE when he was part of some of the great tag-team matches with his (storyline) brother Edge.

He has got great mic skills as well and has the ability to generate a lot of applause from the crowd and a lot of heat from the crowd at the same time.

Bear testimony to his ever growing list of peeps and make him the true charismatic savior of WWE.

7. CM Punk

At No. Seven is the leader of the Straight Edge Society, CM PUNK

CM Punk is surely the future of the company, and ever since he became a household name, he has attracted many mature fans as well.

He is one man, who along with Jericho, is really taking good care of SD’s heel department.

CM PUNK has got this great in ring ability and has been cutting awesome promos of late.

To be honest the gimmick given to him is not easy, considering that fact that many people might consider it as utter B.S. (as the fans reaction shows.) But still he has made full use of that gimmick and really converted this opportunity into one hell of a asset for the WWE.

When Edge got injured and was taking a break from the main-event scene before taking time off, he was the one who stepped up and along with Jeff Hardy made it all the more interesting. Clearly saving WWE from what could have been a crisis as Jericho was busy as the unified champion.

So with all that said, he sure is a reason why the mature fans are lured to tune in every week and even though he is not in the main event scene (which he should be) he is doing a great job in saving WWE.

6. Batista

The Animal Batista is at No. Six.

The Animal surely deserves to be on this list.

Now many might disagree with me, and say that he deserved to be higher considering the fact that he is currently in the WWE Title Hunt, but the thing is the guys mentioned above him (according to me) are bigger attractions to the mature audience.

The one reason which I feel goes against him is that he currently does not have a gimmick. As a top heel, a gimmick would make him all the more anticipated and hence, there are guys above him.

But thanks to his good performance between the ropes, his ability to generate a lot of heat and get a huge pop as well, bears testimony to his importance and proves that he too is a savior of WWE.

5. The Undertaker

At No. Five is The Dead Man, The Undertaker.

I know that many of you are going to criticize me for this but the reason why he is so low is because of late, he has just sort of mellowed down and is not fighting on a regular basis as the top four are.

Like I said in my first slide, this was a tricky list, so I assigned him this rank because of his current position in the WWE in terms of main-eventing.

As he is not in the main event scene right now, that went against him.

I don’t think that I need to explain why he is on this list, do I?

Even though he is not as mobile as he used to be, he still is better than many superstars on either roster. Along with that, like I said in my previous article, he has got this great ability to literally carry matches on his shoulder and always does his part to help WWE avoid the criticism it faces at times.

He is a legend and has to go down as one of the best wrestlers ever in the WWE.

These facts are good enough to consider him “the true savior” of the WWE but like I said, the irregularity of matches went against him.

4. Edge

The Rated-R Superstar Edge is at No. Four.

Edge is one hell of a WWE Superstar and is surefire HOF’er.

He has been constantly outperforming his opponents in almost every single match.

His popularity among the mature fans has been increasingly endless, even today when good parts of the world are, Big Edge heads.

He is one man who be-it the AE, the era after, or the current PG Era, has been a top star for WWE.

He did a great job as the top heel of the SD brand from 2007-2009 and would have been my obvious pick to be at the top. But considering the fact that he took some time off, the top 3 rose above him.

The fact that he is at least, for now, not in the main event scene has gone against him.

When it comes to including him in this list, I don’t think that I need to explain. He is actually one of the best wrestlers the WWE has ever seen. He has a great move set and like I said, has on many occasions out-shined his opponents in a big-match situation.

His mic skills blend really well along with his superb in-ring antics and makes him a huge reason to make the mature fans tune in every week.

3. Triple H

At No. Three is The Game HHH

He too is an exception on the list because he has not been in the main event scene for quite some time now. But I am sure that his achievements before that are good enough to make up for it.

HHH is a huge asset for the company, and his hard earned and well deserved popularity, is good enough to make the mature audience wait in anticipation for him.

His supreme in-ring talent, along with his great mic skills and perhaps the ability to cut funny promos, makes the mature fans in awe of him.

HHH, like Edge, might have ended up on the top position but the fact that he is currently involved with Sheamus makes him not the hottest property to be seen and therefore, is at No. Three.

2. Randy Orton

No. Two is the recently Demonized Viper Randy Orton

Okay many might not agree with me on this. Some might say that he deserves to be at the top. Well my answer to them is that the wrestler at No. One, to me at least, is the real savior of the WWE.

Now there are many reasons why Orton is on this list.

First of all his in-ring talent is just simply awesome and his mic skills are pretty good as well. But the main reason why he has been bumped to No. Two is because of the fact that he is being dubbed, and rightly so, as the next Anti-Hero after Stone Cold.

That is one hell of a compliment for the Viper.

Such attributes mentioned above about Orton makes him a highly anticipated performer and gives the mature audience a reason to tune in every week and makes him a savior of WWE.

1. Chris Jericho

At No. One is the self-righteous honest man, Chris Jericho.

Ever since he returned to RAW with an “OMG” awesome promo in December 2007 to save us, he indeed has saved the holy hell out of the WWE.

I mean he has been unbelievable and his current gimmick has to go down as one of the best in the current era.

He has been cutting some really good promos on SD of late and really is the cornerstone of the WWE.

There is nothing that he can’t do.

He is great in the ring and he has got to go down as one of the best in-ring talents as well.

Also I have never seen a wrestler who can generate so much of pop from the crowd being a heel.

I mean until and unless he does not display his arrogant nature and proclaim to be, "the best in the world at what he does, ” at times it becomes sort of difficult to judge.

He indeed is the Top Savior of the WWE as of now, and to be honest I am going to stick with my opinion and not be apologetic like I have been about Batista and Taker.

I have not included Cena who BTW is my favorite wrestler and I did not include him because I feel that the "mature" fans criticize him but all said and done I still respect him and he always will be my favorite

So, these are the men, according to me, who keep the mature fans hooked to it even at a time when WWE is being criticized 24*7.

Any criticism and comments are going to be welcome.

Please give me your thoughts on this slide-show of mine for sure.
