For the past 6 months I've been watching the Youtube clips of RAW and Smackdown instead the actual TV shows. This is the future of wrestling, especially when you have a PPV once a fortnight to get your fix of long form wrestling. It's the best way to consume wrestling.

Say what you want about him but Roman is the absolute GOAT of this format. The only things he is missing is promos. If WWE figure out how to monetize that audience he will be their top draw, no doubt. After half of year of consuming WWE this way, this is what I'd say are the critieria for being a GOAT youtube wrestler:

1. Strong facial expressions (They need to communicate a story in 3 minutes)
2. Crisp, impactful looking signature offense (Its the only part of the match thats featured)
3. A great look (They need to communicate character in 3 minutes)
4. Promos (Least important because the shortness of the clips allow them to mask mediocre promos with good editing)


My personal rankings are thus:

>God tier
Roman Reigns
>Great tier
Lesnar
Cena
AJ
Ambrose
Jericho
Rusev
>Good tier
Strowman
Wyatt
Miz
Big Cass
Sasha
Bayley
>Meh tier
Owens
Rollins
Big E
Finn
Charlotte
Becky
>Shit tier
Antonio "1 (one) facial expression" Cesaro
Dolph "Weakest finishers in the business" Ziggler
Sami "b..b..but you need to watch the full match to get my babyface in peril act" Zayn
