Lists the various [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] wrestlers active during the Brand Extension Era, from 2002 to 2011. Please limit associated tropes to that wrestler's time in the WWE.
 
== A-E ==
----
 
==== [[Alberto Del Rio]] (Alberto Rodríguez) 2010- ====
Line 18:
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: ''Wrestlemania 21'' was supposed to be HHH vs. Orton for the World Heavyweight title, but Batista's popularity at the time was unexpectedly [[Up to Eleven|increasing rapidly]]. So much that they put him in the main event instead.
* [[Professional Wrestling/Memes|Memetic Mutation]]: Batista's very much Photoshop fodder.
{{quote| "That's my title, and coming this Sunday, I'll be taking it back!"<br />
"Basketballs don't hold grudges!"<br />
"Weapons aren't only encouraged. They're allowed." }}
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Wrestling fans can forgive many things, but beating up on [[Bret Hart]]? Not one of them.
Line 38:
* [[Ear Worm]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icjQNRnuIak WE GONNA RIP IT UP!]
* [[Straw Man Has a Point]]: Was kicked off of NXT despite winning every challenge. Soon after cut a promo [[Alternate Character Interpretation|calling out the fans for voting him off because of his appearance rather than his ability]], triggering his quest to completely annihilate the "do-good" superstar look.
* [[WTHWhat the Hell, Casting Agency?]]: Some people's reaction to his repackaging as the 'Funkasaurus.'
==== Carlito (Carlos Edwin "Carly" Colon, Jr.) 2004-2010 ====
 
Line 58:
* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Considering that he's won the most outstanding wrestler of the decade.
* [[HSQ]]: Him showing up on [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] television gets Holy Shit chants.
* [[Hype Backlash]]: Not everyone "gets" the love for Daniel Bryan.
 
Line 79:
 
==== Ezekiel Jackson (Rycklon Stephens) 2008- ====
 
== F-J ==
 
==== Finlay (David Finlay) 2006-2011 ====
Line 116 ⟶ 118:
 
==== [[The Nexus|Justin Gabriel]] (Paul Lloyd Jr.) 2010- ====
 
== K-O ==
 
==== [[Low Ki|Kaval]] (Brandon Silvestry) 2010 ====
Line 138 ⟶ 142:
 
* [[Fashion Victim Villain]]: The Power Ranger costume. In reality, he has a tattoo of [[Malcolm X]] and Vince was worried about offending more conservative viewers. As if that's ever stopped him before...
* [[Rescued Fromfrom the Scrappy Heap]]: His Inferno Match with Kane. My God, who'd have thought MVP had that kind of a match in him?
 
==== Muhammad Hassan (Mark Copani) 2004-2005 ====
Line 144 ⟶ 148:
* [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character]]/[[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot|Plot]] - His original gimmick had the potential to make him into one of the biggest [[The Woobie|woobies]] in the WWE. Sadly they went with the other direction (see above).
 
== P-T ==
==== Primo Colon (Edwin "Eddie" Carlos Colón) 2008- ====
 
Line 153 ⟶ 158:
* [[Evil Is Sexy]]: Just ask his fangirls.
 
==== [[Rey Mysterio, Jr.]] (Oscar Gutierrez) 2002- ====
 
==== [[Ron Killings|R-Truth]] (Ronald "Ron" Killings) 1999-2000, 2008- ====
Line 171 ⟶ 176:
==== [[Sheamus]] (Stephen Farrelly) 2009- ====
 
* [[Badass Decay]]: Oh god yes, he started out as an uber heel that murdered everyone, beat [[John Cena]] for the [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] Championship, [[Ten -Minute Retirement|"retired"]] [[Triple H]] and dominated most people he's been up against, as soon as he won the championship a second time he's really started to loose all the badass cred, [[Randy Orton]] punked him out whenever they faced each other (to this day Sheamus has never beaten Orton), he ran like a bitch from [[The Nexus]], hell, ''[[The Miz]]'' kicked his ass.
* [[Fashion Victim Villain]]: [[Executive Meddling|Kevin Dunn]] doesn't like Sheamus, so he was [[Demoted to Extra|given the stupid crown and weak booking]] to make him look like an idiot.
 
Line 180 ⟶ 185:
==== Tyson Kidd (Theodore James "T.J." Wilson) 2009- ====
 
== U-Z ==
==== Vladimir Kozlov (Olyeg Olyeksandrovich Prudius) 2008-2011 ====
 
==== Umaga (Edward "Eddie" Solofa Fatu) 2002-2003, 2005-2009 ====
Line 186 ⟶ 191:
* [[Germans Love David Hasselhoff]]: Close, Austrians [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_H-Kh6ft1-w loved him.]
** And [[Wild Samoan|Samoans,]] but that's obvious.
 
==== Vladimir Kozlov (Olyeg Olyeksandrovich Prudius) 2008-2011 ====
 
==== [[Wade Barrett]] (Stuart Alexander Bennett) 2010- ====
 
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Probably too early to tell, but his huge charisma, intelligence, and skill at implementing his plans put him on the road to being one.
* [[Straw Man Has a Point]]: Despite being portrayed as villains, the rookies do have legitimate complaints against [[WWE]] management.
 
==== Yoshi Tatsu (Naofumi Yamamoto) 2009- ====
Line 204 ⟶ 211:
* [[Narm Charm]]: He should not be able to be convincing as a wrestler.
