Regardless of all the negatives out there, there’s one undeniable truth: WWE has an ungodly amount of talented wrestlers.

The problems facing this company cannot be pointed at a lack of skilled workers, but more how they’re utilized and booked. One thing you can almost count on is having a good match or three on a PPV card or TV episode. Many of the wrestlers have shown that when they have good material to work with, they’re able to turn out a solid, entertaining performance. We’ve seen a bunch of really, really good matches in 2018.

Of course, talent only goes so far. If there isn’t good writing and planning, all you’ll get is solid in-ring action and little else. But it’s at least one helpful thing to have quality wrestlers.
