Best "Hi, My Name is" Articles (milestones, great conversations, etc):
- Miz - The first ever.
- Great Khali - A club owner is born.
- Michael Cole - He got trounced by you guys.
- "Stone Cold" Steve Austin - Highest rated evaluation to-date.
- Curtis Axel - At the time, a surprisingly cold reception, led by our fearless leader, Geno.
- Brock Lesnar - First time someone broke the poll.
- John Cena - It's Cena, the conversation is always entertaining.
- AJ Lee - Received an excess amount of love, first post to receive notice from outside sites.
- Vince Russo - Just read the comments.
- Eva Marie - My finest swerve.
- Haku - Nobody wanted to grade this man low.
- Manami Toyota - She received some much deserved respect.
- The Leg Drop - When nostalgia meets reality.
- The Yeti - Pure comedy.
- Kenta Kobashi - If you don't know who he is, this evaluation will explain everything.
- Sylvain Grenier - This would be the most epic of all, if not for...
- Kevin Dunn - If you only have time to read only one thing, read through this. Not only is he the lowest rated evaluation (1.3), this was the first to get past 200 comments, reaching nearly 300! Thanks to the power of Twitter, we got former WWE Head-Writer Alex Greenfield to join the conversation. When things were winding down, he wrote the most rec'd comment ever in the series. A scathing, unrelenting response that blew the roof off this evaluation....EVACUATE, OR RIDE THE LIGHTNING!

Best Comments:
alexdgreenfield:
"Loathe: Everything about his awful character, plus he was one of those guys who came up every week at TV to "pitch ideas." What were these ideas, you ask? "How about I win a lot and you put the title on me." Those are not ideas!
Also, a fun loathsome fact: Eugene was Brian Gewirtz’s (long-time head writer of Raw) favorite creation. He took a three-month sabbatical to go and write a movie about Eugene. Let me say that again: Brian wrote. A Eugene. Movie. And Vince paid for it… then locked the script in a box never to be revealed."
Sandow's Superior:
"Doors, I bet you were thinking, 'Lets evaluate Tony Schiavone. That’ll put butts in Cageside seats.'"
Plan R (on The Five-Knuckle Shuffle):
"Can’t tell you much about it. I’ve never seen it."
WritersBlockhead:
"I once had dinner with Lou Thesz. Just him and me and a mutual friend hearing stories and being amazed to be at the same table with the man. I do remember he had GIGANTIC hands that felt like vice grips whenever we shook hands. This was probably 15 years ago or so. He was also really short – like shorter than me, and I’m 5’9."
Sandow's Superior (His reaction to Jim Ross getting a 1 in the poll) - 52 Recs
"Someone gave him a 1! YOU SON OF A BITCH. THE MAN HAS CHILDREN. LOOK AT WHAT YOU’VE DONE HERE. WITH GAWD AS MY WITNESS, THIS POLL IS BROKEN IN HALF!"
TJ_UK (on Scott Steiner):
"You know, they say all evaluations are created equal, but you look at mine and you look at Samoa Joe’s, and you can see that statement is not true! See, normally if I’m evaluated I get a 3.3. But I’m a genetic freak, and I’m not normal, so I get a 4 at least! And then you add Kurt Angle’s evaluation to the mix? My score drasticy go up. See the evaluation, on CSS, Joe got a 3.9. But me, I got a 4.3, cause Kurt Angle KNOWS I should have his score, and he’s not even gonna try! So, Samoa Joe, you take your 3.9, minus my 3.3, and you got 0.6! But then you take my 3.3 perscore…score, if we was to go one-on-one, and add 4.3 cha…score, I got a 7.6! See, Senor Joe; the numbers don’t like, and they spell disaster for in the Week in Review."
Vidence:
"Paige's accent as a negative?! What is wrong with you monsters!"
Duke Phillips:
"Loathe: I am far to frightened to say anything bad about Mr. Lesnar."
8bitDan (Has the honor of being the first ever to comment in this series. In this case, about Miz):
"One thing I can at least say I respect is his work ethic. He is constantly working to expand the brand.
One thing I hate is his stupid f****** finger symbol s***."

Finally, I just want to give thanks to myself #HeelDoors all of you who made this series a success. Without your comments, this thing would have died a long time ago. Congrats to ReverendKain, DFreshMMA, TJ_UK, and alexdgreenfield for all winning their respective comment awards. Thanks to Yourroleandyou for keeping up with sharing your scores each week. Shout-out to Jimmy_MacUK for being the second half star, he came out of nowhere with tons of great comments! Thank you to anyone who ever took the time to make a graphic, meme, or gif for an evaluation. Honestly, there's just too many people to name, but just know I appreciate everyone who stopped by and commented.
2015 draws near, and we will start things back up when the ball drops. We have about 40 requests to still get through, and of course reevaluations of all active talent! Who's trending up or down? That's for you to decide...
Until then, I turn it over to you, Cagesiders. What did I miss? Post your favorite moments, people, or comments from the past year.
