Another shot - Unpopular Wrestling Opinions

[Mighty NorCal]

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

.

because he was the bigger champion.

Such pushes were obvious though, when Cena was drafted to RAW just months later, right? There was no "choosing" going on by that point, they were both as over as it gets, and had to be in order to be in that WM spot in the first place.

- 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.

The fuck is this, 2006? is this something people still truly argue about?

 

[Dowdsy McDowds]

Aside from Summerslam, I haven't been interested in the WWE since Rock left.

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

What in the blue fuck are you on about?

Wait fuck, that Draft was in 2005! Shit my bad man. The HiAC was his last match with H. Apologies for the muck up.

- RVD is the best ever

 

[Serious Mozzarella]

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

So? I don't like them.

All the time. I had this very argument so many times within the last week I've lost count and I wasn't even on the forums talking about this, this was on my vacation in Mexico.

I don't know where people find the energy to keep arguing about this. I ran out of steam back in 2009.

Daniel Bryan and CM Punk are best utilized in the upper midcard. Neither should be long term main event wrestlers.

Chris Benoit was maybe the least interesting wrestler of all time. He's now supremely overrated because the way his life ended.

Brett Hart doesn't belong in the conversation as one of the best of all time. He was horrible for business as a main event wrestler. You can't be the the amongst the best and amongst the worst draws. It's contradictory.

John Cena could be turned heel without a clear #1 face. Him turning heel would make him top heel, whoever he was put in a feud with would be elevated up the ranks of the faces.

ECW is only overrated in the eyes of people that hated it. People that actually liked it know it's place in wrestling history.

The Rock is light years ahead of Hulk Hogan in terms of drawing power. It's not even close. For that matter, Brock Lesnar is too. When his new movie comes out, so will Batista.

There's no creative way of turning John Cena heel without contradicting every piece of character development he's built up over his entire career. Just, "getting upset with the fans" and doing heel things is played out, and would absolutely ruin him.

He doesn't look like a heel, he doesn't have the personality of a heel, and, at the risk of sounding like a ****** who regurgitates wrestling catch phrases in real life, it's legitimately bad for business.

-I like the idea of face Kofi versus heel Cena.

I feel kind of dirty admitting that.

All due respect, but I have to disagree with this entire post.

Incorrect.

I liked ECW and still think it was/is overrated much in the same way the Attitude Era is overrated.

The good things that they did overshadowed the absolute rubbish that went on at the same time.

 

[Bernkastel]

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.

You forgot to add The Undertaker, once a year is once too often.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

So? I don't like them.

Your personal opinion of them doesn't mean they are overrated

 

[Serious Mozzarella]

All due respect, but I have to disagree with this entire post.

What about, "I'm angry that the fans boo me every night, so fuck all of you," isn't completely played out, boring, predictable, and frankly uncreative?

I actually kind of like that too. Kofi's prior flirting with the top of the card in his program with Randy Orton made for decent television.

 

[Serious Mozzarella]

Your personal opinion of them doesn't mean they are overrated

Yes it does. I believe they receive far more praise than they deserve. I believe people like Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan don't know when to quit, and I believe people like HHH, HBK, Sting, Nash, etc. only enable them.

 

[Pay Per Ghost]

But what does that have to do anything with them being overrated? Them not knowing when to quit.

 

[Coco]

If anything, I'd venture to say Rey Mysterio is underrated.

Anybody who rates ECW as anything more than a successful northeastern regional promotion is doing it wrong. It's impossible to overrate something that was never really rated in the first place.

criminally so

 

[Serious Mozzarella]

Because at this point they've spent more years not knowing when to quit than they've spent in their prime.

If people were so sick of them, they would have be booing the shit out of them back in the early 2000s because both were by age, out of it.

I don't think either of those guys are overrated. I mean whatever success Mania X8 had, was coz of Hogan. Not The Rock, Austin, H, Taker; just Hogan. And his coming back to the WWE and being on the card at Mania. Almost 20 years later from his first hot run.

I never said anything about people being sick of them. I will say, however, that nobody can deny how tragic it is to see guys like Flair and Hogan trying to put on a good match with someone 30 years younger than they are.

Like with any other TV show, it's nice to see a cameo every once in a while, but Hogan really shouldn't be having ANY matches, let alone headlining any major PPV.

This seems contrary to your original statement that only people that hate ECW say it is overrated.

In terms of IWC opinion, ECW was and to many degrees still is vastly overrated.
