Here are some facts.
Liv is not good. Never will be good.
Charlotte is very good in the ring.
Bianca is good not great.
Naomi is good but gets booked poorly. Jey being a drunk set her back years.
Big E is a mid card talent at his best.
Braun is a failure as a champ so is Drew.
Baron Corbin would be a good transitional champion.

I don't think most of those are unpopular, although I don't know how anyone can declare anything or anyone a failure right now with no crowds to play off and really judge what is or isn't working. I mean sure you can say whatever about ratings, but those have been bad no matter what is going on and extra bad for some extenuating circumstances.

Corbin as a transitional champion for the US or IC titles, sure. Although I guess if Jinder Mahal can get like a 7 month title run with multiple wins in a row over Nakamura, anything is acceptable.

HHH-HBK is one of the most overrated rivalries of all time

Rock couldn’t miss from 00-02 in the ring. Didn’t have a single match during that time.

Big Evil is Undertaker’s best gimmick by a long shot.

1. I don’t give a fukk about these vanilla midgets and would rather see six foot plus freaks juicing up again, even at the expense of their health. They’re grown, they understand the risks. Make them take psychiatric exams so you screen out the ones who might Chris Benoit their wives. wrestling is supposed to be like a real life comic book. I’m 5’10” and 200 lbs. aside from Daniel Bryan and maybe Ricochet, I don’t wanna see nikkas smaller than me wrasslin, especially in the main event. I couldn’t even watch the AJ Styles / Cena feud because I can’t take that manlet as a serious threat to someone Cena’s size. Relegate these nikkas to the undercard :camby:

2. wrestling needs to have a little raunchiness again. The attitude era was a bit over the top, but now it’s too cheesy. A little edginess would make wrestling cool among young adults.

3. Matt Riddle is overrated af. He’s skinny and not very credible, despite his MMA record.

4. It’s great seeing women have good matches, but fukk the women’s revolution if it means I have to see ugly ass women like Shayna Baysler and Ruby Riot on my screen. Women like Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair are the total package because they can go and they’re attractive too but i turn the channel when ugly broads are wrestling. Yes I am sexist and idgaf.

5. Idgaf about indie wrestlers or New Japan wrestlers unless they’re broads and they look good. To this day I don’t know wtf kobayashi looks like and I don’t care either bc he isn’t relevant to me since he isn’t in America.

6. Sonny Kiss is an embarrassment to wrestling. Get that fakkit off my screen :camby:

The emphasis on moves and matches over character and storyline is the reason no one watches wrestling anymore.

I was guilty of this line of thinking when I was younger. There is a ceiling on how far workrate can take someone.

I feel like characters (not gimmicks) and storylines can reel in anyone and only seasoned fans can appreciate workrate. While something like a wrestler hitting a dragoncarana off the top rope is cool and may impress non fans it is as likely to make someone a fan of wrestling as much as someone stacking cups super fast also being impressive yet not making you want to check out competitive cup stacking.

Another problem with emphasizing workrate is wrestling matches are way more competitive and longer than they should be. There is no reason for your main eventers to have matches over 10 minutes with guys who you don't intend to push as future stars other than to show off what both guys can do.

Keith Lee needs to go bald, grow a full beard, stache and go heel as a champ. He also needs a stable.

Go!

Jey needs to win the universal title at Hiac and become the purest babyface the company has ever seen. He then should be crowned Tribal Chief big dog at the head of the table on some Black Panther shyt.

Big E is too goofy to be a champ. They should have Bray kidnap him and make him turn heel with Alexa Bliss.

Daniel Bryan is probably the non puro GOAT if drawing is not a qualifier. Especially when you look at what he just did as Eco Champion. The best pure wrestler while becoming a main event heel after his retirement from a brain injury is fable shyt. The promos and matches that elevated King Kofi and Rowan were masterful. He was already the indy GOAT and top 2-3 since 2000. His matches are smarter than they have ever been and that is saying alot. He's gotten better in his time away.

fukk Daniel Bryan after he kicked baby face Styles in the balls twice. He's been on my shytlist. He's too good to be cheating like that.
