Another shot - Unpopular Wrestling Opinions

[hatehabsforever]

Sting doesn't even deserve to be included in discussions regarding the WWE Hall of Fame. And that includes after a 6-12 month run if he ever decided to join the company or whether or not the elusive Sting/Undertaker match ever transpires (which it shouldn't).

Traditional, clearly defined faces and heels are antiquated and have no place in the industry.

Marketing wrestling directly at children is stupid.

John Cena should turn heel.

 

[Pay Per Ghost]

If they decided to push him towards Punk then yes, no chance in hell he was winning.

I was so damn certain he would gain that hot momentum on SD, head to Mania 29 to face Show for the WHC (he was champ then) and we would all see the World's Biggest Shellshock.

God you couldn't have done it better.

Ryback's not Zack Ryder. He's on television often enough, and in a prominent enough position, that the crowd could have course-corrected him and gotten him over in spite of WWE's constant fuck ups. I call this The Daniel Bryan.

Unfortunately for him, the 2013 WWE Universe is filled with petulant, moronic smarks who don't want to play ball.

Verdict: Ryback's a victim of both the WWE's shitty booking and the audience's poor taste.

 

[Poop Master Flex]

- It's not the audiences job to play ball with WWE, if a wrestler is truly good enough they can get past any negative reaction the crowd throws at him/her.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

-I could take or leave Antonio Cesaro.

Too far

 

[FlexAmerican Dynamite]

-William Regal could have been top heel in 2008 if he didn't get that Wellness violation, probably why I hate Orton, two violations and is still pushed despite being pretty average.

 

[Hard Hit Prince]

- I could take or leave Antonio Cesaro as he isn't nearly as good as people make him out to be.
- I think The Miz is main event material everytime he's a heel and really feel WWE dropped the ball on him to soon after Mania 27.
- I understand why Daniel Bryan isn't main event material.
- I sort of like any decision that pisses the IWC off.
- John Cena is the best wrestler in the world today.
- Not only do I like Heath Slater and Drew McIntyre, I also like Jinder Mahal in 3MB and don't think he's useless.
- Tag Team Wrestling = $$$$
- Alberto Del Rio is the best heel the WWE has right now.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

God damn some of you are true idiots.

I suppose that will be an unpopular opinion.

 

[Pay Per Ghost]

- The audience has detested those who were pushed down our throats. They chose Cena over Batista, Bret over Luger, Austin over Shawn. When wrestling has given what the audience have gotten behind, thats when they do phenomenal business.

But all that is moot, coz its all WWE now. There's only one real place if you wanna make it to the big time, and it kinda sucks.

 

[Coco]

Unless that wrestler is jacked, tall, a super-heavyweight, or getting a huge push while being one or all of those things. Because unfortunately, some vocal fans think everyone needs to be cut from the same cloth as Daniel Bryan.

Those fans are wrong.

This didn't happen. The audience took to Batista organically and that support stuck for pretty much his entire main event run. He was in no way forced down anyone's throat.

No no, man that organic build he had towards Mania 21 was the best slow burn I have seen. I meant after that. Batista closed most of the PPVs in 2005, was on Raw and was just blown to the top,all the way. Cena toiled away on SD with JBL and co.

Batista was given the big programs and what not but it was still Cena who came out on top when 2006 came around.

 

[FlexAmerican Dynamite]

What is considered a bigger program? HHH? Aside from that Batista was feuding with JBL, and then basically was wrapped up in the RAW VS SD! angle, teamed with Mysterio and shortly after had to drop the belt due to injury.

Er, after he won the WHC in the ME of WM?

This isn't a situation with a winner and a loser. You're talking about two huge winners. Cena won bigger. But the audience didn't turn their back on Batista because the felt he'd been shoved down their throats. Your post makes no sense to me.

List of overrated wrestlers:

• CM Punk

• Rey Mysterio

• Brock Lesnar

• Rowdy Roddy Piper

• Ric Flair

• Kane

Mark Henry would have been on this list if it hadn't been for this past 9 months.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

More credibility being flushed down the toilet than I imagined possible.

PG wants to talk about someone being "shoved down our throat?" Well I don't see the situation in those terms, but a whole lot more went into making Cena a headliner than Batista. Batista was a last-minute contingency when Orton flopped. Cena was being built solidly from late 2003 onward. The man had one of the strongest midcard runs of all time. Batista was just sort of there in the background while the rest of Evolution was doing important stuff.

The idea that Batista was shoved down anyone's throat and Cena wasn't is asinine.

Worth it.

Just guys that have competed in some of the biggest, best, and most historic matches in the history of the buisness, thats all

- I agree too many fans feel that if a wrestler isn't cut from the same cloth as Daniel Bryan then they suck. Crowd reaction, emotional investment and drawing power are much more telling statistics for judging how good a wrestler really is.

- With that said, if John Cena gets the biggest reaction (regardless of cheer or boo), gets people the most invested in the product and sells the most tickets than he is the best wrestler they got.

- Most Internet Wrestling Fans don't really know that much about wrestling, they know just enough to be dangerous.

Post Mania there were two champs and Batista was pushed as the bigger champion, he was in most of the MEs after but it was Cena who emerged bigger in a year's time.

The point was, the guy that they thought would be or SHOULD be a bigger deal, usually was/is not.

 

[Poop Master Flex]

I would argue that Batista's injuries were the biggest reason for him not being a bigger star than Cena.

Also, how was Batista's rise not organic?

 

[Coco]

Post Mania there were two champs and Batista was pushed as the bigger champion, he most the MEs after

Batista got a little over two months on top of Raw after winning the title.

What in the blue fuck are you on about?
