Dolph Ziggler sucks. He's not a world class seller, he's a world class bumper, there's a huge difference.

Undertaker is incredibly overrated. People say that he didn't need the title to matter from 1997-present. I think people don't realize he was nothing more than an upper-midcarder and very weak main eventer when he was up there.

Crow Sting was AWFUL. zomg he's in the rafters!!! He is what made me switch my allegiance to WWF in 1997. Always with a baseball bat and I'm sure at times it was real but whenever he hit somebody it was absurdly obvious it was made out of foam. I will never understand the fascination with him. Anytime mentions him coming back they always say "...and he could be Crow Sting in the rafters and dropdown". jfc.

Wrestling before the mid 90's was boring as hell.

Santino usually provides a wonderful breath of fresh air when he appears on screen.

*The ratings of matches, shows, wrestlers, or anything else shouldn't get some sort of mysterious bump for having happened more recently than stuff that people experienced a longer time ago. Here's a rule to live by: what you just watched is extremely unlikely to have been the best <whatever> ever, or the worst <whatever> ever.

*Those who liked Kevin Nash's mic work during his career are largely responsible for the degradation of society as a whole.

I don't care to ever watch any of the following wrestlers:

Shawn Michaels
Edge
Christian
Brett Hart
Owen Hart
Curt Hennig (I did not watch him as Mr. Perfect)
Syxx/X-Pac
Undertaker
Roddy Piper

(there are some positives about the last 2, and the undertaker has actually grown on me a bit in recent years but overall I can do without 'em)

GrindPoker is currently far and away the clubhouse leader if this were a contest to sincerely say the most disagreeable thing.

Many of Steve Austin's iconic segments (driving the beer truck in, attacking McMahon in the hospital) completely sucked and it's ridiculous that people like them so much.

Spoiler:
But to be clear: I still absolutely loved Steve Austin, just at a somewhat duller level than many others did.

I can't tell if I'm getting leveled or if the post itt about Santino are true.

Blood in wrestling is terribly overrated. Ideally it wouldn't be verboten, but non-hardway blood would still be a really rare occurrence.

I thoroughly enjoyed Cm Punk's title run and I don't get the hate.

Oh, and American badass Undertaker was so much better than his deadman gimmick.

Most people enjoyed it. The hate is that WWE didn't let him main event PPV's while he held the title.

Yeah this is not an unpopular viewpoint here.

This probably goes back to not really liking anything before the mid 90's but, NWO Hogan was the most entertaining Hogan.

The Godfather was a terrible, awful gimmick, though maybe Val Venis was worse. The Attitude Era was chock full of gimmicks that nobody had any right to like as much as they apparently did.

For the last couple of months HHH has been one of the best things about WWE! (To the point where I would have been fine with him winning the belt at Wrestlemania)

He rarely gets talked about around here so I guess I don't fully know what this board's sentiment is, but: Lex Luger had enough "it" factor that I will just unapologetically call him a very good pro wrestler despite his somewhat limited in-ring ability.

Few wrestlers have been screwed harder by a dumb booking decision than Lex getting passed over for the chance to be strapped at SummerSlam '93 when the whole wrestling public was ready to get behind him.

Most of the Attitude Era is like unwatchably bad and is only revered due to nostalgia. The product improved immensely when they shifted the focus more to wrestling instead of crazy storylines and crass frat guy humor.

Your favorite wrestler doesn't need to be hotshotted to the top right away. Yes, you. Whoever is reading this. You. Unless a wrestler weighs at least 300 lbs., holding a midcard title should basically be treated as a prerequisite to even getting a world title match at a house show, let alone on PPV, let alone WINNING the title. **** all of that. A slow but sustainable push is the pace at which each and every normal-sized wrestler should be pushed, without exception.

John Cena is one of my favourites but a lot of this is due to his jimmy rustling abilities. I thought the royal rumble 2013 advertisement was great when he was sitting at a bar and just looked into the camera like " I'm going to win and there's nothing you can do about it. You know that, right?"

I also enjoy Jerry Lawler's gimmick and I'd probably like him a lot more if he wasn't a pervert.

Jerry Lawler was truly awful during the Attitude Era, thus making JR/King easily the most overrated broadcasting tandem in history despite JR's best efforts. People were years upon years late with their hate toward Lawler.

I random opened this thread but watched wrestling for a while as a kid so i have an opinion.

Roddy piper was awesome in the movie where he could see aliens with his shades.

Hulk Hogans daughter kind of looks like a lesbo.

Carry on.
