Wrestling Opinions You Don't Have the Guts to Post

I despise the concept of MITB.

Completely agree. The concept was played out years ago. However it seems popular among the masses. They need to ditch it as an individual event and return the gimmick to WM were they desperately try to squeeze everyone on the show.
 
Did anyone see the WWE Background kickoff? Renee Young, COrey Graves, booker T, and byron saxton were discussing, etc.. until the New Day came in and started chatting up with Booker and Byron.. Renee Young and Corey Graves looked irritated and they had a "oh man.. these guys" look on their faces. what a subtle point of racism.

Pretty sure Reigns has never taken a clean pin. I know that he hasn't since splitting from The Shield.

Huge difference between Reigns and Cena.. Cena is established and Reigns is not. Reigns just jobbed 3 PPVS in a row and hes been jobbing a lot on weekly television btw. this is an unpopular opinion but i want reigns to replace cena ASAP
 
Gentlemen, please, elaborate.

The matches themselves are good but the concept of the briefcase is just annoying. There's not much new and they've stopped taking chances since Sandow.

Essentially the MITB briefcase holder is a lower ME/Upper Midcarder essentially what the IC champ should be.

Can you please just leave one thread untarnished? Your stupid is getting all over the place.
 
The briefcase also suffers from the same problems as the Intercontinental Title: the company thinks someone can take loss after loss and hold up the briefcase/title and be bulletproof. It doesn't work that way.
 
- I think the wrestling style of today (move as much as possible, no story, back and forth, etc.) is garbage. Tell some stories, work a body part, have a strategy, etc.

- Hulk Hogan is a lying scumbag and I really never care to see him again.

- Part-time stars wouldn't be necessary if the majority of the roster didn't suck. Outside of Cena (and some times Orton), none of them are good enough to be main eventers. Cesaro can't talk, neither can Roman. Rollins can work his ass off, but is the most boring champion in years. Bray Wyatt never stood a long-term chance, the poor bastard. Ambrose is probably the best, but they don't seem to give a shit.
 
Roman Reigns should still be the first one to pin Brock Lesnar clean somewhere in the coming months, not Taker.

Agreed.. Lesnar is the most dominant performer of all time, his first loss since going on his dominant streak should go to a rising star, not Taker. They don't even have to rush it since Lesnar has 3 mroe years left in his contract. Reigns will surely be ready before that
 
That reminds me, Orton is like a million times better in the ring as a face. I understand that his heel character is supposed to be methodical or whatever but it isn't nearly as interesting as watching him feed off of a crowd.
 
Orton is great in the ring and ok on the mic, but can he actually draw $$$$ like Cena can? Seems kind of expendable to me. Every time he main events a Raw, ratings tend to go down.. he gets great pops, sure, but pops dont always translate into ratings. Just look at Mysterio
 
Daniel Bryan versus Brock Lesnar is a match I desperately want to see. I don't care who wins, I don't care when it takes place, I don't care if Bryan has to retire immediately afterwards - I'm a wrestling fan and I want my pound of flesh.

In contrast to this....

Even as one of Daniel Bryan's biggest supporters for years now, I hope he never wrestles again. He can make a great living doing something else. He reached the mountain top... if he's healthy then he should retire as such, not risk it by getting back in the ring.

There's probably a trainer's job waiting for him the day he can be cleared. I'm with you: I don't want to see him in the ring again. He's never going to top Wrestlemania XXX and has that as the peak of his career. Why risk not being able to remember your name when you're 57 years old?
 
I cannot stand Daniel Bryan. I'm glad he's out of action. Obviously, it sucks that he is/was injured and in pain and that's not the part I'm glad about, but it's nice to see the fans aren't affecting the product when the guy they like doesn't win. Besides, a huge part of his hype comes from the "yes" movement anyway, I don't think he's anything too special and bores be on the mic. The underdog stuff got old quick.

Also, I hate to say it but TNA is unwatchable right now and the only issue with it going out of business is the wrestlers would be unemployed. Although I don't think many like Roode would find it hard getting into another company. I watched TNA for over 10 years and seriously wouldn't lose sleep over it looking at it at the moment.

Also Cena is amazing on the mic, top 3 without doubt.

Oh yeah and Mayweather wouldnt do too bad in the WWE.
 
To say my piece on a topic from hours ago, the MITB suffered because it went with the curve ball straight away when Edge first cashed in. If the first 4 or 5 cash ins had been like RVDs - in advance, planned out, and then someone did the Edge classic, we'd have much fonder memories of it. Look at the Royal Rumble - the first 4 or 5 have pretty mundane endings, until 1994, 1995 and 1997 did something a little bit different. They could go back to normal after that because there was a big bank of history of it being normal. If a wrestler cashes in MITB in advance now, because most of the history of it is opportunistic, they look like they are completely stupid and missing a golden chance.

Its fine if you don't like Daniel Bryan... but yo're tired of the "underdog stuff"? Aren't you a fan of John Cena judging by your avatar? So you're tired of Daniel Bryan's "underdog stuff" but you aren't tired of Cena's "underdog" stuff? To me Cena's underdog shit has grown redundant.. you can't possibly paint this guy as an underdog when he's a 15 time world champion who has overcome the odds time and time again.. meanwhile Daniel Bryan is made to look like an everyday person; when the odds are stacked against him he usually loses, with the exception of WM 30. So the underdog persona is a lot more believable with DB than it is for Cena. Just asking, not trying to stir trouble or anything.
 
To be perfectly honest I was never a fan of the MitB concept. I was intrigued a bit by it during it's early years but it always came off as lazy booking and in a majority of the cases it produced a non deserving champion. It has never really been my cup of tea. I do recognize how important it is tho to the product as a majority of fans like the concept.

To touch base on the Royal Rumble, I am not a fan of the WM title shot. It devalues much of the suspense involving the finish. Thirty men enter and realistically only two or three have a chance. Again I realize how important the stipulation is to the majority so I, like others, heavily depend on other aspects of the match to keep me entertained.

No but it certainly wasn't from lack of effort on WWE's part. Lashley and Ahmed Johnson are 2 perfect examples of African American's getting pushed to the moon but unfortunately circumstances prevailed.

People also say JYD should've been champ but I could never agree with that. Although he was insanely popular he existed during the Hogan era and anyone with half a brain knows Hogan was the right guy to be champ during those years.

While I did love JYD as a kid, that era was all about Hogan. Could be have fight for the IC belt or compete in the tag team ranks? Sure. You can be popular with the fans and not be champ. There was potential with both Lashley and Ahmed Johnson, and I would've bought either as champ if they had a solid manager backing them. But as they say, them's the breaks.
