The work itself isn't the problem, they just give us no reason to give a shit, no matter how good your work is without a hook people don't care.

That's the irony I was trying to point out. In the not-too-distant past, WWE was known for having better characters than they've had in recent years. All of the guys you mentioned were pretty good on the mic AND in the ring.
There are guys on the roster right now that I think could cut a good promo on their own if creative/Vince would take the hand-cuffs off of them and not script every last word that they say. I'm sure that Seth Rollins, Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, Bray Wyatt, probably Roman Reigns, The Miz, Sami Zayn, and more would be far mote interesting to watch if they were allowed to "own" their character more and free-lance on the mic a bit.
