#7. Miz/R-Truth
I'm putting these two together for obvious reasons. I feel they should be higher, but unfortunately, WWE hasn't allowed them that honor. Their return was rushed and much like Punk, I think Miz and Truth have a lost a bit of their momentum as a result. They have been going more the "goofy" route in some of their promos and backstage vignettes, rather than the rebellious, anti-authority route I thought we were going to see. I still rank them in the top ten because they are clearly a priority each and every week – especially now that they are heading into Survivor Series to work a match opposite Cena and Rock.
#6. Randy Orton
While I am ready for Orton to move away from Rhodes, I can't say that I haven't enjoyed their program. Orton truly IS one of the best today and it takes a guy like that to truly put over a guy like Cody Rhodes, who is still earning the respect of the WWE Universe. It doesn't seem like the Orton/Rhodes feud is over at this point and I honestly don't see that helping either men going forward, but for now, Orton is just outside my "Top 5".
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
