With WrestleMania considered the pinnacle of the wrestling year, it's the perfect time to gauge the overall health of the company. Simply, WWE is doing fantastically. With the WWE Network debuting, the potential to double or triple TV rights fees and their stock at an all time high, the company is more successful than ever. What makes all this success so strange, is that many of the wrestlers are no better off (or even doing worse) than they were a year ago. Sure, some wrestlers like Daniel Bryan are having career years, but many others have struggled since WrestleMania 29. It's another year of part-timers taking some of the biggest spots on the show, which means mid-card wrestlers are taking mid-card matches. That's if they're lucky, as many are being left off the show completely. Here, we compare the wrestlers who had a match at last year's WrestleMania, and see what they are doing at this year's show. The results are a bit scary, and make you hope WWE will get their act together soon. Here are the 10 wrestlers who have suffered the most since WrestleMania 29
As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
