Tree of the E - Results

Biggest Positive Mover: Daniel Bryan UP 3 Levels over the course of the year.

Special mention to Heath Slater who could now be classed as a level 4. That would mean +3 increase from the start of the Tree. Epico and Primo also went up 2 places, largely due to their tag team run. The same with Santino, caused by his US title reign. Also, It is likely that Ryback could now be seen as Level 2 for the future, meaning a +3 increase in a much shorter time.

Biggest Negative Mover: Mark Henry DOWN 2 Levels over the course of the year.

Special mention to The Miz. He also had a -2 drop up until Summerslam but managed to claw a place back. Other notable names have gone down from their starting place during the course of the year such as Mysterio and Ziggler. Those that had so much promise from a push, but then went back to the mid card included Tensai. The biggest notable fall was by Randy Orton, the only wrestler to fall from the Level 1 spot, that for the most part seemed an untouchable level to be part of and to fall from.

It is easy to see that the top two levels of the tree hardly changed. When you look at the inactive wrestlers on those levels (Undertaker and HHH) it is clear that the WWE are in need of proper headliners. One of the main reasons why The Rock and Lesner came back into the fold over the course of the Tree.

The mid levels changed constantly as different pushes happened. Cody Rhodes and Christian yo-yo-ed, and Wade Barrett (obviously hindered by his injury) came back strongly at the end. Some wrestlers stayed on a certain level due more to their name rather than what they achieved - step forward Mr Rey Mysterio.

The bottom levels saw the biggest increases. Slater, Mahal, Clay and Santino saw increases during the course of the year, before leveling out on what could be described as "their" level - one that was always within their reach with good performances, but never a springboard to bigger things.

Some big stars came and went in a instant. Kevin Nash was going through a big storyline at the beginning of the tree (hence his high rating), but then disappeared. Booker T came back for a brief run as well. Chris Jericho fleeted with the big time, before becoming just a platform for Punk. Lesner and The Rock, as mentioned were big when they came in, but their apperances were rare when weighed up to other guys on the roster.

To the future.....I can expect Ryback to maybe rise one more level. Orton could very well headline again, and the Miz is due a push. HHH may well come back for another brief run, and Taker will get his usual WM lead up feud. Punk and Cena will continue to be the best thing since sliced bread (rightly and wrongly). Bryan may well reach Level 1 soon, once his partnership with Kane ends. New stars in the making could very well be Cesaro leaving the way clear for a lower level star such as Slater (who is getting a late 3MB push) to take the US belt. Then you have stars such as Rhodes, Ziggler and Barrett who are waiting....and waiting.....and waiting. They could get their chance again next year.

Beyond that, who knows........

Thanks again to everyone who took part.
