LOL

I just find submissions beyond boring. When was the last time John Cena tapped out? The last I remember is 04 against Angle. Submissions insult our intelligence. We know the guys aint gonna tap from a head lock. We know the 'guy' isn't going to tap out of anything. We know they are just taking a breather. It's boring. I also hate the way they spend minutes in a submission move and the way it's symbolised as not giving up. Sorry but it has nothing to do with choice. If somebody is twisting your ankle you are going to tap. It's like putting your hand on a stove. There's no choice about it you instinctively get the fuck away from the stove.

I repeat: Get rid off submission unless its a finisher. Tell Randy Orton to stop fucking smoking and hit the gym. Maybe if the guys worked a little harder on their stamina rather than their biceps they may be able to go 5 mins without gassing.

If they wanna do this, why doesn't one wrestler just hit the other with a blow and tell him to stay down, you know like till 7. Tell the referee to count slow and begin the count late. Meanwhile he can gesture to the crowd. If he is still tired, he can repeat what he did. I have seen this done. Sometimes would be down till 8. They do this less these days.

Triple H doesn't deserve the "bury" tag people put on him.

Batista was the most annoying champion when he just wouldn't lose as a Face.

Mason Ryan > Ryback.

I find Roman Reigns to be the guy in The Shield with the most star potential. He has also impressed me much more than Ambrose or Rollins.

Damien Sandow's gimmick is very good but it will not get him to the main event. He needs to evolve his gimmick.

Ryback should have won the WWE Title at Hell In A Cell. Since then, WWE has struggled to maintain his popularity.

Sheamus and The Miz are good faces and better off than they were as heels.

The majority of the IWC (I'm only distancing myself because I do not share this opinion) seem to think turning wrestlers heel is the answer to everything, yet a guy like Sheamus who people have wanted to be turned heel is obviously much better off as a face.

I reckon some members on this site like heels and hate faces because they think it's 'cool' to do so and these people also change their opinions on certain wrestlers totally depending on their heel/face status.

Wade Barrett has great potential but he is too boring to be a main eventer.

Guys like Barrett and Sandow are very good on the mic but are worshipped like Gods because they speak eloquently. But in truth there are others on their level including guys like The Miz and Cody Rhodes.

Randy Orton is currently the best wrestler in WWE, yes even better than the 'Indy darlings' so to speak.

I actually enjoyed John Cena's 380 day WWE title reign from 2006-07. He put on pretty great matches with Umaga, Shawn Michaels, and Bobby Lashley that year. I can understand if others didn't enjoy it as much though.

D'Lo Brown had the best entrance theme in the Attitude Era.

I find Randy Orton to be bearable as a face than as a heel. Heel Randy Orton bores me.

The GOAT.

Ok, but seriously I'm with you. I highly enjoyed it. Month vs Khali was blah. Not a fault on Cena. It's Great Khali. It would be bad with anybody.

- I think Bob Backlund is one of the all time greats
-Bruno Sammartino is greater than Rock and maybe even Austin
-Andre the Giant is the greatest big man of all time
-I loved to watch Corporate Rock and People's Champion but Hollywood Rock is over-rated,he relied too much on cheap heat
-John Cena is an all time great

I have seen you in GOAT discussions.Why do you keep saying Bruno>Austin & Rock?I know you may have a reason but it is without any doubt the most unpopular opinion in this thread.Though I am an Austin fan,from what I have read about Bruno,he is definetly up there and holds a valid argument.

I liked heel Miz.
I LOVED heel Cole (his shitty jokes and constant interruptions had me laughing every week), and no this is not sarcasm.
Quality of CM Punk's work has declined, not sure if this is unpopular, seems to be 50/50 on this board.
I still love Team Hell No, people on this forum seem to want what they can't have then get bored of it after two weeks but I think they're great. They shouldn't be tag champs though, they should have lost the belts to PTP two weeks ago through fault of The Shield THEN placed in the 6-man tag match.
Jeff Hardy needs to retire.
Bobby Roode is in the top three active workers in the business today.

Kurt Angle was/is far superior to Bret Hart. He beats him in every caregory and thrashes him when it comes to charisma. Even when Bret gave his 'best their was' speech he sounded so monotonous and boring like he didn't believe it. Charisma is a big part of wrestling. There's more to wrestling than just executing moves flawlessly. You need to tell a story and when it comes to that HBK is the GOAT.

Some from the top of my head:
- Bret Hart was awesome on the mic back in the nineties.
- I never enjoyed WCW when it still existed. Today I can watch and appreciate old WCW shows, but back in the nineties I always thought it sucked.
- While the gimmick itself wasn't a bad idea, I never liked John Cena as a rapper. He didn't "rap", he just spoke his rhymes and came across like some whack Vanilla Ice ripoff.
- I was never a huge fan of Ric Flair's in-ring work. Awesome persona, awesome promo skills, extremely charismatic, etc, but apart from during his WWF run when I was a little kid, and matches like vs HBK at Mania, his matches mostly never did much for me.
- Batista was very charismatic and a really good power house.
- Even though the Katie Vick story was certainly a terrible World Title feud story and pure trash tv, I still enjoyed it. I laughed my ass off over how bad and trashy it was.
- Deathmatch wrestling is disgusting.

I got a big one....

Chris Jericho was the worst WWE champion of the 21st century. He is partly responsible for the fan exodus of 01 with that god awful heel UT- run. The Jericho of 01 couldn't be taken seriously because he had no intensity. He was just a whiny little bitch. Technically speaking the Miz is very similar and less talented but the Miz came at a time where expectations were low. The roster wasn't as competitive. Jericho came off champions such as: The Rock, Austin, HHH, Angle etc. Jerichos' run was a complete disaster. TBF he did get it right in 08 but look at these 2 pics and tell me which one looks more intimidating:



OR



I don't know if it is the shorter hair or him aging but by 2008 he clearly got it. He portrayed himself as more menacing. Not just in appearance but in body language and speech. He understood where he went wrong in 2001. But 2008 he was WHC not WWE champ so technically he is still IMO the worst WWE champ of the past decade.

  • Cena is a decent in-ring worker.
  • Bret Hart/Stone Cold at Wrestlemania 13 is overrated.
  • Drew McIntryre could of been the top heel in the company.
  • Stone Cold is the undisputed GOAT.
  • The Miz has talent.
  • CM Punk/Daniel Bryan are not as good as people say.
  • Undertaker and HBK at WM26 was better than Undertaker and HBK at WM25

I enjoy Cena's work. When he's around in makes the main event feel more important.

I'm a huge fan of Triple H and I hope he is on TV / wrestling matches for years to come.

Although I like Bray Wyatt promo work, I'm not bothered about seeing him the ring. To me he will always be Husky Harris.
