WWE Stock Watch: Kane, Cody Rhodes, MVP, Whose Stock Is Up, Down?

With a strong "Money in the Bank" pay-per-view in the books, it's time for Big Nasty Securities to hold its latest shareholders meeting to assess the current value of the WWE's prized assets.  You know the drill, and if you don't, learn it. 

STOCK UP

Kane

The WWE's renaissance man enjoyed a bountiful push long before suddenly becoming a world champion for only the second time in his stellar career.  For years after the quintessential Monster Push that Kane received in his embryonic phase as part of the fed, Kane found himself in the "what do we do with Kane?" role. 

This seemingly undying question was answered with everything from feticide to feigned necrophilia. 

Kane's first serious push in years has resulted in Kane being front and center of the biggest angle currently on Smackdown en route winning and subsequently cashing in said briefcase.

We advised you to invest in this stock a month ago, and now it's all but a no brainer.  Kane's stock is red hot (Pun intended). 

The Miz

The Miz had a rough go of things as he became acclimated to the loaded, new look RAW roster to the point where we even downgraded his stock's value in a previous meeting despite advising shareholders to hold on to the stock. 

The Miz' expected resurgence has gone better than planned, landing him a Money in the Briefcase berth and an inevitable WWE Championship reign. 

While it has an obvious upside, The Miz's stock does come with some risk as a possible loss in his ensuing "cash in" match could be detrimental to the Miz brand. But Big Nasty Securities considers a future Miz title match imminent and advises you to invest in this stock if you haven't already (for whatever reason). 

Drew McIntyre

Love it or hate it, the WWE is going to force you to accept it and you don't have much of a choice. Drew McIntyre will be pushed, and eventually, we feel he will be a star.  It really makes no sense to downgrade McIntyre with the WWE continuing to show such faith in the young Scotsman, and it also doesn't hurt that McIntyre has improved in the ring on the strength of a strong feud with Kofi Kingston. 

McIntyre was borderline dormant in the Smackdown Money in the Bank match, however his inactivity was justified as he took the biggest spot of the match in the form of a Kofi Kingston Boom Drop through a table. 

Drew McIntyre will break through, and we can't help but endorse his stock moving forward. 

The Nexus

Along with being part of the most compelling storyline currently in wrestling, the Nexus has also proved to be a ratings draw.

Drawing the biggest ratings on RAW since Wrestlemania earlier this year, and taking their must watch act to WWE NXT to inject much needed life into that anemic program, the Nexus is quickly evolving into a major player in the WWE as the fed kills eight seven birds (of getting young guys over) with one stone.  

Invest the hell out of this stock, but be weary of possible impending doom as the group runs into a showdown with Cena and friends at Summerslam.

Daniel Bryan

Do not adjust your computer monitor, Big Nasty Securities strongly advises that you invest in the penny stock that is Daniel Bryan Inc., because Daniel Bryan month is quickly approaching. 

What is Daniel Bryan month you ask? 

The upcoming expiration of Daniel Bryan's 90-day non-compete clause making him more than eligible to possibly rejoin the WWE (or TNA) roster. 

It's possible that the WWE could even bring him back sooner than later as the "blow over" period, for whoever had their Barbie panties in a bunch upon the Tiegate scandal, may have already removed the hair from their backside. 

Don't say we didn't warn you, this stock is set to take off one way or another.

"Dashing" Cody Rhodes

Cutting a "welcome to my latest gimmick" promo that may one day be mentioned in the same breath as classics such as the first "Austin 3:16" promo, Cody Rhodes is on his way to the top of the WWE roster.  

Rhodes was our darkhorse to be victorious in the Smackdown Money in the Bank, and he had a good showing, but his talking ability, charisma, and improving in ring work have made him a star on the rise. 

This is yet another efficient investment to make as you can get him for cheap now, and we can't help but feel that his stock will blow up as the WWE continues its youth movement.

STOCK DOWN

MVP

The posterchild for a falling stock, the once promising MVP is colder than George Steinbrenner if Hell were to freeze over. (too soon?)

The WWE is doing next to nothing with MVP, and had it not been for a third tier show such as WWE NXT, Montel Vontavious Porter would likely serve no purpose on a WWE roster.

The MVP brand needs some serious re-tooling for Big Nasty Securities to fully get behind it for the first time since regularly holding monthly shareholders meetings. 

He needs to turn heel, he needs to hold a title, he needs a sustained push and, sadly, he may need Jesus.  Sell this stock if you can. 

Matt Hardy

Along with Christian, Matt Hardy is slowly but surely becoming lodged in the unenviable "WWE Veteran Limbo" slot that Kane seemed destined to stay in for the remainder of his career. 

While Kane's recent success story is an encouraging sign, sadly this is only an exception.  With the WWE moving forward with its above mentioned youth movement (and more power to them), Matt Hardy is all but solidified as a veteran enhancement talent.  Nothing more, nothing less. 

Matt Hardy has a very strong Q rating with the smart fans, however his stock value was strikingly low when assessed by Big Nasty Securities.  Avoid this stock at all costs. 

Dolph Ziggler

This one was a difficult choice, but after witnessing the slow moving train wreck that was Eric Escobar, we simply cannot give the Zigguerrero alliance (Dolph and Vickie) our full endorsement. 

This stock does have promise, so hold on to it if you can, but do not become too ambitious in your pursuit of this young stock with so many other young, talented brands on the rise.

The WWE Divas Division

Big Nasty Securities usually likes to advise you to buy when the value is low, however we simply cannot o with such reasoning when it comes to the increasingly bad ballet that is the WWE Divas. 

Fresh off of another month of subpar matches capped off with underwhelming performances at this past Sunday's pay-per-view, the WWE Diva's division is in dire need of its two best (pushed) workers Melina and Beth Phoenix.

Both Phoenix and Melina are on the shelf, and while Melina is expected to return any second now, it will naturally take time for Melina to get back into the swing of things.  Furthermore, we do not see Melina being so good that she will carry the entire Divas brand, especially when two minute matches are the rule when it comes to the Divas. 

Keep your eye on this stock, but like in real life when it comes to women who are clearly out of your league, look and don't touch.
