That means they're doing it right, though - that's the whole idea. So it's all good.
Ok, Ok I get it. I was going in circles not making much sense.

The dudes you picked are excellent at actually wrestling - is that your most important trait?

El Generico - Top tier babyface
CM Punk - I don't think it's cool to cheer for heels, but CM Punk's sincerity puts him over the top as the most moral guy in all of his feuds
Daniel Bryan (current edition) - Good worker who works extra hard to earn his place in life
Antonio Cesaro - Because he's the Swiss Superman and because Americans are fat disgusting slobs
3MB (with special attention to Jinder) - They're guys who like to have fun and seem like they're always bullied, also:
Of that list I like Jericho. Welcome to RAW IS JERICHOOOOO!

I love cheering for heels because 1: I'm a dick and like people treating others like dicks (unfortunately that has been flipped on its head lately) and 2: they usually have the most logical reasons for doing things.
Kind of how I've always been, course guys like Bret, Austin, and later Jericho and Guerrero was hard to root against too. The latter two perhaps because they often had the underdog role facing the bigger guys.

Good list, and if you add Cody Rhodes and Damien Sandow, those would be my choices.

In-ring ability is a big part of it, yes, but it's also their presence.
Punk I feel is the whole package - a heel with legit motivations, can cut great promos and back it up with good to great matches. Certainly not the best in the ring, but not a hack either.
Bryan definitely for his wrestling ability, but also for his ability to take anything they stick him with and turn it on its head. The 18-second WM loss turning into the Yes chant, twisting that into the No chant, taking something as stupid as a dead end feud with Kane into a funny (if a bit drawn out now), engaging tag team. He's a guy that can run with anything the E saddles him with.
Cesaro has a great look - he just exudes main eventer when you see him. He seems the closest of all the guys on my list to Vince's "prototype" champion/main eventer, yet he backs it up with an amazing moveset and wrestling ability. I won't lie, I'm a bit disappointed that crowds don't seem to have taken to him, but I hope WWE sticks with him and he's in the title picture within a year. He could be a legit star.
Ziggler, as stated, can go in the ring, but he's also got great selling (a huge part of wrestling), he's improved on the stick (still not great, but much better from where he started), and he had the people behind him immediately following TLC. Frankly, it's astonishing how badly WWE has dropped the ball with Zigger in 2013. He was white-hot post-TLC, they really should have thrown the belt on him at that point. Now he's just stuck in limbo.
As for Jericho, really no explanation needed. I've been a fan of his since his '99 debut (never was much of a WCW fan). Last year's run was definitely lackluster, but he's made up for it in spades so far this year. I don't think he's had a bad match yet since his return and he still can get a crowd going.

Chimera( Ricardo Rodriguez)
WCW Monday Nitro 11/20/2000
The Boogie Knights won the WCW Tag Team Championships on Thursday at the German only PPV. Disco was injured during the show. Where is Sid? Where is Tank? Where is Kanyon?
EARLIER TODAY. Lex convinces Sanders to make a match for ratings. Palumbo comes in to say that O'Haire had been laid out. Hey, remember when Lex was feuding with Palumbo and Stasiak and they crushed his face and kept stealing Liz? I do. And now he's in the office with the NBT joking around and having a good old time.
TO THE BACK.
Mike Sanders makes an announcement. Perfect Event vs Alex Wright/Mystery Partner for the tag titles. Booker T vs Lex Luger in the main event.
Jamie Knoble vs Yang
This could be fun. Mark Madden finally notices that Jamie is a white guy. Tope from the top to the floor from the white guy. The best part about this match is that Yang is probably even more of a redneck than ultra redneck Jamie Knoble. Yang brings in a chair early on, but Slick prevents him from using it. Leia hits a flying twisting pussy to the face off the ring steps!
Yang hits the Gannosuke Driver, but Jamie was in the ropes. And was so short that his head was no where near the mat. Evan Karagias comes out, but 2 Count takes him out. Jamie decides to dive on them instead of pin his opponent, even though they weren't doing anything. Sweet roll up combo wins for Jamie. After the match, Jamie and Evan team up to fight off 2 Count and Yang.
TO THE BACK. Lex leaves Ric Flair's office. Alex Wright is on the phone with Disco. He comes across Kronik and tries to offer a personal check. Then the Animals chase him off.
TO THE BATTLEDOME. Terry Crews fucked Rick Steiner up, but brawl happened. Lol.
CEO Ric Flair comes to the ring. He always talks up how so great and huge WCW is, but everyone knows he's full of shit. He can't fuck all the girls anymore, but he sure does support it. If Lex beats Booker tonight, he'll make Lex vs Goldberg a title match. So, what he meant to say was that the main event is a title match. He also says he doesn't give a fuck about Goldberg having to redo the streak. This brings out Jeff Jarrett. He brings up Stacy's baby. I forgot all about that. Jeff knows who the father is. He claims he is the father! Guitar shot of love! David comes out. Ric looks like he recently bladed even though he hasn't wrestled in like 5 months. Jeff explains when and where he made this baby. It was this long and involved story about a grocery bag. In the end, the grocery bag was full of shit, just like the story. It was a SWERVE! Guitar shot! Buff comes out and he brawls with Jeff before refs break it up.
TO THE BACK. Nash arrives and asks Finlay to tell the Thrillers he's not alone tonight. Paula is with Team Canada. Elix is Alex Wright's partner tonight. Duggan vs Meng and Lance vs someone.
They show some highlights of Alex Wright winning the tag titles in Germany. Weirdly, they were using a WWE sized ring, not the smaller WCW/ECW ring.
Alex Wright/Elix Skipper vs Perfect Event WCW Tag Team Championships
I believe that General Rection is actually the one that won the titles with Alex in Germany. Alex comes out with the German flag. I feel like A German holding a German flag still makes people nervous. If Mike Sanders made this match, he really should have picked a completely no capable partner for Alex. Someone like Ralphus or some other non-wrestler. The Animals came out and gave the Perfect Event the win. New Champions. Well, that wasn't very cool, Kidman. New Champions.
THE FOLLOWING ANNOUNCEMENT IS PAID FOR BY MANCOW. Jimmy Hart cuts a promo with 2 Count when Mancow shows up out of nowhere with a trash can. He was wearing a CREED shirt. Are you fucking serious?
TO THE BACK. Paula is with Kwee Wee and Meng. Since Lance took Elix's spot, Hugh is going to take Kwee Wee's spot. Jindrak talks with Sanders about Kwee Wee. Reno celebrates with the Perfect Event. He is then attacked by Vito.
Show run down is interrupted by BATTLEDOME guys.
TO THE BACK. Paula is with Alex Wright. Disco is really mad and WCW is afraid of the Boogie Knights.
BATTLEDOME guys are still causing problems, which brings Rick Steiner to the ring. He has the BATTLEDOME Championship. He invites T-Money to the ring.
T-Money vs Rick Steiner
Terry Crews makes his in ring debut! It went 30 seconds before the rest of the BATTLEDOME guys got involved and security broke it up. No one gives the slightest of fucks about Battledome.
TO THE BACK. Reno demands a match with Vito. "Set it off" is the new "SOL" for the Thrillers. MIA meeting.
Kevin Nash comes to the ring to talk about his back up. He wants a tag title shot at Mayhem. This brings out the Thrillers. Sanders thinks Nash has no friends, so the Thrillers hit the ring. DDP makes the save! Makes sense since Sanders was talking about trailer trash.
TO THE BACK. Paula is with Lex. Lex is trying to get Goldberg to cost Booker the title.
Team Canada vs Meng/General Rection
Dungeon of Doom reunites! Lance does some topical heeling on the 2000 Presidential recount debacle. USA chants. For...Meng...against Duggan. Wat. Hugh ends up winning with a roll up on Duggan.
TO THE BACK. Shane Douglas and Jeff Jarrett are talking about something.
Mike Sanders is at the commentary table.
Kwee Wee vs Goldberg
Sanders said he had a big surprise for Kwee Wee. Kwee Wee tried a springboard move and got got in a spear. Jackhammer for the win. After the match, Goldberg puts Sanders in his place. Ric Flair comes out and books Sanders vs Goldberg.
Mike Sanders vs Goldberg
Sounds like Sanders is SOL. And you know what that means. Goldberg literally spears Sanders out of his shoes. Lol. Jackhammer for the win.
TO THE BACK. Paula is with Booker. Booker is fiirr...fuck off.
Shane Douglas vs Buff Bagwell
Pre match saw some Georgia redneck heeling from both Shane and Torrie. Shane challenged Cat to a match at Mayhem. Remember earlier in the year when Buff's gimmick was that he hit on everyone's YAK? On camera? And he had the nerve to be offended that David would believe he was the father of Stacy's baby? The Buff/Shane team/feud from earlier in the year wasn't mentioned once. Buff kicks out of the Plunge. Torrie gets bumped off the apron, Buff goes for the Blockbuster, Jeff stops him, Cat stops Jeff, Buff hits the Blockbuster for the win. Cat challenges Shane for right now and he'll even kiss Mark Madden's ass if he loses. Some dancing goes on.
Scott Steiner comes to the ring with a box of tissues. He destroyed Sting with his pipe on Thunder. Sting is out indefinitely. Ric Flair is still a son of a bitch. "Stipulation" is not a word Scott Steiner can pronounce correctly. Steiner says some Latin, says it isn't Ebonics, confuses Mayhem for Fall Brawl, and Booker for Sting. I don't know what is going on here. Steiner has confused himself so many times.
Booker T vs Lex Luger WCW Championship
Scott's anger management was joining Limp Bizkit on the Anger Management Tour. Gross. Scott also says he wouldn't have a problem hitting Ted Turner. Call him crazy. Booker was about to win, so Goldberg came out. Steiner and Goldberg get into it on the floor, while Lex tried to cheat in the ring. Lex had a chair and Goldberg speared him, but it was ambiguous as to who he was trying to actually spear. Steiner and Book are pulled apart by security. STAY TUNED FOR THUNDER!

Hey Shark, if you're looking to get serious into the wrassleworld I got a pal out in Dallas that can offer some help and guidance, and he's a really neat dude and has been a good friend of mine for about ten years. Just let me know.
From reading the article it seems to me that WWE is acknowledging that they ARE wrestling, so the belt saying "WWE Champion" is basically akin to it saying "Wrestling Champion". They don't want to go with wording like World Heavyweight Champion/World Champion, etc. anymore
