I suppose my main issue is that they had him lose an easy match to Finn like a week before he was number one contender. Did they decide that nearly concussing the only face getting a legitimate pop on Raw made him worthy of a promotion? I'm not just blaming Jinder for that spot, it's just as likely a guy like Finn with the New Japan mentality told him to lay into the elbow. Finn is tough as nails and though his head bounced off the canvas, he finished the match (it's amazing to see what Finn is willing to overcome in contrast to guys like the original Sin Cara who taps out when he breaks a nail).
It's just that the whole thing went from 0 to 100 in no time at all. No gradual rise. No learning lessons. No overcoming a string of losses... He just went from talent enhancement to world title contender in the space of one week. It's just difficult to cheer bad storytelling (or at the very least lazy storytelling), even if you want to cheer the wrestler.
The other part of me is resentful that in a world where Wade Barrett was never champion, one member of 3MB might be.

WWE Roster? I'd go with Cesaro, followed closely by Karl Anderson. However, NXT has better looking men. Tye Dillinger would probably win out--but Dash, Dawson, Nick Miller, Shane Thorne, Bobby, Roode, Roderick Strong, and Austin Aries are all top notch.
So, overall? Tye Dillinger.
If you go outside WWE, Nick Aldis is the best looking guy. Donovan Dijak is pretty damn hot.
Best looking wrestler of all time, bar-none: Wade Barrett.

And since when do people CHEER the Miz? You're comparing two unike things.

Cody is bigger than Daniel Bryan, physically. And MUCH bigger than Rey Mysterio. Both were main eventers.
Cesaro is better on the mic than 95% of the roster. Jack Swagger was world champ--and you're telling me Cesaro doesn't have 'it.' Who are they pushing right now? Reigns? Owens? Rollins? Cesaro is better in the ring than all of them and better than all except Owens on the mic.
Barrett has been healthy for two years. He had two fluke injuries and came back in even better physical shape both times. Daniel Bryan was pushed to the moon despite having multiple injuries--so that's a bad excuse for not focusing on a guy. You do remember that they took the IC title off of Barrett and put it on Bryan--only to have Bryan never defend it because he wasn't healthy enough to, right?
The fact is, all four of those guys have HUGE POTENTIAL. And they're focusing on Ellsworth and have driven Barrett and Rhodes out of the company.
