I'm not getting the Bram hate either. It seems to have no basis in anything at all.
I respect what he brings to the biz right now... a legit Hardcore wrestler. And I feel like on a card there is room for the Main Event 5 star guys, the lower card hard working guys, the flippidy flashy guys, the submission stretch guys, and last but not least the hardcore guys. Its like every fed always had that and still has it but the E.
While in the E, if they wanna go "hardcore" they just may put Cena or etc in a No countout match with one steel step spot and its like "BOOM THIS IS A HARDCORE MATCH folks"
Fighting outside the ring isnt "hardcore"
I miss the Sabu's, the Ravens, the Cactus Jacks, the Terry Funks, and so on and so one. Bram is kinda of a throw back to that. I dont wanna see dude do chain wrestling, I wanna see him bash someone in the head with a block and get slammed on a bunch of thumbtacks
