Wrestling Opinions You Don't Have the Guts to Post

[nightmare]

Lots of lads burning bridges in this thread. Guess that's the point.

Sorry Sam. Forgot you were on the Rey train, but I am still with you on a few other topics. 95% may be an inflated number a bit, but for the most part I just cant think of too many times he stood out. Truth be told, the underdog card was played a lot with him & when that becomes the most prevalent and repeated phrase in the majority of your matches, it loses its shine.




Since we are all sharing:


I always thought Kanyon was a bit underrated & shouldnt have won the main belt or anything, but I hoped he would have been featured more. From Mortis to his random Kanyon Cutters, he was pretty cool in my book.



Lex Luger is shit. He was the equivalent to me of what the cast of Total Divas is now. There because of the look, but lacks actual substance\talent. Maybe I missed something others see, but I have never gave a shit when he wrestled.




Big Show > Andre. Except for movie roles, because Princess Bride was classic. Every Andre match has bored me in some way & while we all tend to groan with Show being inserted defacto in so many storylines or his flip flop alignment- I have enjoyed more of his matches than not.

In some ways, The Young Bucks are the John Cena of tag team wrestling.

 

[Барбоса]

The Young Bucks turned being shockingly one dimensional and unable to work a coherent match into their gimmick.

 

[Miko]

More male wrestlers should release nudes

 

[Stone Cold Tea]

I like promos and segments on Raw better than matches!

 

[Alex]

Dunno if this is unpopular per se

I had hoped Alex Shelley stayed in TNA and he and Austin Aries had some great X-Division matches trading the belt back and forth before Chris Sabin came back and have a three way feud.

TNA is unpopular, so any opinions abut it are going to be unpopular.

Kane should have ended the Streak at Mania 14.

That's a good one. I always felt the same way. Especially when you consider that Kane ended up being the one to beat Stone Cold for the title at KOTR. Always seemed to me like his beating Austin would have made more sense had he beat Taker at Mania. Maybe it would have allowed them to build Austin regaining the title at SummerSlam instead of Austin winning the title the next night.

Always felt that between losing to Taker at Mania and then the Raw after KOTR to Austin signified the end of Kane being a true main eventer

 

[Miko]

Redeemable, and he was ever popular. Dogshit booking did for Kane, plus whenever he was riding high Triple H or Undertaker would get involved and hog the glory in some way

In some ways, The Young Bucks are the John Cena of tag team wrestling.

They're precisely the opposite. Cena can work. He has personality through the roof. He has all the raw, physical talent and skill to be the man he is. The reason fans reject him is because they were effectively told to like him. He's the broccoli of the WWE. It's good for you, but try to get a kid to eat it because you tell them to and they'll come up with a world of excuses as to why they hate it. Even though they have no real reason to, and probably don't actually hate it.

The opposite is true of the Bucks. The reason people like them is because they represent everything Cena isn't. Reminds me of whats his face, the Oh Radio guy that everyone fell in love with because he got over with a radio show or podcast or whatever it was. The Long Island guy. Who also sucked, like the Bucks.

 

[Richard Blonoff]

The comparison between Zack Ryder and The Young Bucks hurts my soul.

 

[Spidey Revivey]

"Young Bucks Suck" isn't an unpopular opinion. The title of this thread is beyond raped at this point.

Seth Rollins has everything you could possibly ask for running as a weak heel Champion. He's still complete shit compared to JBL.

 

[Lee]

Vince as ECW champion was genius.

Note I did say in SOME ways, not every way. Obviously they aren't even close to the same level of in ring talent that Cena is on and nor am I trying to say The Bucks are the Cena of tag team wrestling in that way. But to say they suck is just idiotic.

The ways that they are the Cena of tag team wrestling is because they are the biggest draw in tag team wrestling in years (i'm talking actual tag teams not like DX reunions or other special super teams), just like Cena is the biggest draw in general in years. Also everybody has an opinion about them, even the people that hate them talk about them and they get any crowd they perform in front of to react to them. Just like Cena.

I don't think people like them as much as they do (or at least most) because they're "the opposite of Cena" people are gonna cheer for the people that keep them entertained night in and night out. Also they must be doing something right to have so many companies wanting to book them including the 2nd biggest company in America and the 2nd biggest company in the world. Oh and they just recently had a show get booked because it was the only date they had free.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

How are we determining they are the largest draw in tag team wrestling in years? I'd imagine reDRagon, the Wolves, the Hardy's, Team 3D, the Briscoe Brothers, etc. would have a thing or two to say about that.

Companies want to book them because they generate a response at the moment. The same way WWE and TNA both wanted to work/associate with The Jersey Shore years back. It was generating a response. So they wanted to capitalize on that popularity. It never changed the fact that the Jersey Shore was shit. Just like the Bucks are shit.

 

[Messiah]

AJ Lee looks like a little boy.
Dolph Ziggler oversells
Randy Orton is the best in the business today.
CM Punk is a wimp (post it all the time anyway, it drives his fanboys nuts)
The Miz is top 5 hardest working guys in the business.

The only good thing to come out of the brand split was JBL. The brand split is the result of most of what is bad about WWE in the modern day, from decent teams splitting constantly to find the next big singles star which would usually result in both bombing, to second rate World Champions, to double figure title reigns for guys now entering their prime. Although I'll concede that that is because WWE didn't keep enough top names around for it to be effective as it could have and having to run with it anyway. But if Randy Orton wasn't already a 12(13?) time world champion due to this brand split, he's a guy I could get behind as the next big thing in wrestling right now as opposed to the next guy behind Cena who's been here forever, as absurd as all that sounds.

 

[Miko]

I dont think I dont have the guts to post anything I said here, but its a cool place to post random thoughts

 

[The_Reptile_]

I doubt Neville will ever be a real Main Event Talent. If he gets as high as a Jericho scale Shove Him In The World Title Match When We Need A Warm Body I'd be very surprised.

JBL was one of the most boring heels ever. I didn't want some one to punch him, I wanted him gone from SD.

Boring as fuck. long winded heel promos that really didnt entice anything.

 

[Bernkastel]

John Cena is easily one of the biggest troll heels in wrestling history.

 

[The Fabulous Rougeau's]

I love the Montreal Screwjob. Like I am glad that it happened as it made the WWF really interesting. Now I say this as a huge Bret Hart fan which makes it such a weird thing to say, but I think the reason why people still love talking about it is because not only how interesting it is, but how much people really like it even though most would say otherwise.

 

[Uncle Sam]

I'm fairly secretive about my desire to see a British world champion, meaning I'd have been absolutely but quietly losing my shit if I had been watching Raw live last night.

 

[Crocker]

John Cena is easily one of the biggest troll heels in wrestling history.

How is he a troll heel? Please elaborate.. just because he trolls the crowd maybe 5-6 times a year doesn't make him a "troll heel". They've been teasing a heel turn pretty much every single year now since 2010 and look where he is now. They just tease it to mess with the IWC; doesn't really make him a "troll heel" though.

John Cena isn't an underdog that works matches to constantly "overcome the odds." He goes into 90% of his matches the odds on favorite. In the last few years the only time where this hasn't happened was against Brock Lesnar and maybe the Nexus. Fans pay to see Cena get taken to the limit; and if he loses then it's fresh. If not then at least he got taken to the limit. His build up for most matches consists of Cena acting like an arrogant and condescending dick bag towards his opponents. Especially in loss. Seriously, his explanation for losing to the Rock was "Rocky didn't beat me. I beat me. Rock was never good enough to beat me to begin with, and I won't make that mistake again when we have our rematch!" That's heel behavior. And when he wins he acts like a sore winner going "Well so and so tried their best but they couldn't get the job done. The champ is here!!! Woooo!!!"

Cena the character half the time has valid reasons for wanting fans to despise him, but when WWE blurs kayfabe lines with his charity, appeal, and marketability he becomes the standard face of the company that fans perceive are being forced upon them.
