#3. James Storm
Storm is my #3 for obvious reasons. From "zero" to "hero" in about 3.2 flat! Your week can't get much better than that if you're a professional wrestler. Storm isn't the greatest talker out there. He's not the best wrestler either. He's good enough though at both. What he does have, however, is charisma and a great look. He's fresh. Not your typical wrestling champion. I'm looking forward to see where they go with Storm on top. I liked Roode as well, but I'm definitely more intrigued by this route.
#2. Cody Rhodes
He may have lost at Vengeance, but I put Cody Rhodes above Orton (and everyone else but one) this week because he's getting the most out of this program. You might not agree with that, but wins and losses aren't everything. In fact, perception is always the reality. Orton is perceived as the bigger star. And rightfully so – he is the bigger star. Rhodes is getting the rub from Orton, not the other way around. Cody Rhodes is simply making the most of it. Rhodes has been in my top three for months now and it doesn't seem like he's going anywhere anytime soon. Good.
