Unpopular Wrestling Opinions Thread

[Rayzah]

WCW is sorely missed, even a extreme version on like FX or AMC, would give guys on indies or who failed in the WWE a chance to flourish without completely giving up on wrestling

TNA will be around as long as Spike TV has no good original programming throughout the week

There will never be another boom period in the wrestling industry again

WWE needs a massive overhaul in how the show is produced and how the stage is set up, watch a RAW from 1993, then watch in 1996, completely different. Watch a RAW in 2003, then watch today, other than the HD set, it's basically looks the same

Yea I dont see how this could ever happen again.. There are now no territories or anywhere these new wrestlers can get training before coming up to wwe. There is no where for young talent to get an identity or create their character without wwe

Psycho Orton > Legend Killer Orton

Jericho > HHH.

I agree with WWE's stance on C**** B*****

Tajiri was dope

I liked HBK/HHH the feud made perfect sense to me

I liked Bret/HBK Iron Man the match was and still is great to watch

WCW would've won the MNW had they taken full advantage of Bret Hart, Sting winning at Starrcade and limited wrestlers creative control. Sometimes I feel like with such a roster, WCW should've won. There's a lesson somewhere in there.

If WWE has another boom period ratings will top out at 4.2. Also along those lines whoever becomes the Guy will be molded after Cena, WWE's too far removed from Attitude Era to start changing the product when they make more money than ever before. Bruno, Backlund, Hogan, Bret, HBK, and Cena. See a pattern? Stone Cold is an anomaly and desperation.

Macho Man is wrestling personified.

Holding the title for a long time isn't good if you're not doing anything with it. See: Cody's IC reign, AJ, Ambrose, Sheamus WHC reign, hell most reigns these days.

I've never seen a good customized belt. The best one might've been Edge's Rated R Belt by default.

MITB = King of The Ring. Think about it.

Female version of Christian's theme > Current theme

Big Show saved Sheamus' WHC reign.

Carlito was great on the mic but was weak in the ring.

Backlund's 90s return as crazed old timer was great.

Solomon Crowe looks dumb.

Real Americans saved Jack Swagger and Cesaro has a built in face turn. Swagger's theme is one of WWE's best currently.

I watch and even like TNA but it's just an indie promotion with TV. I'm not delusional about what they are.

Daniel Bryan and CM Punk had real good character development until the Authority and WM29, respectively.

I liked SCSA's 2nd heel run. It was very entertaining.

Shelton Benjamin should still be in WWE.

Okada has a legit claim to being the best in the world. Also G1 Climax 2013 was outstanding.

If Bret deaded his relationship with WWE after Owen's death, I'd understand.

Bad Influence should turn face.

Mick Foley should get more credit for legitimizing HHH, Orton, and Edge.

I found shaved head Molly Holly attractive.

Santino, 3MB, Khali, etc. should have a place in WWE.

Kofi = Ziggler just Ziggler's had more opportunities.

Chanting a wrestler's past gimmick is always stupid. Whether its Ryback, Wyatts, Los Matadores, anyone.

Razor/Shawn ladder match is better than all those Hardy/Dudley/Edge and Christian ladder matches by far. The latter ones were crazy spots surrounding okay psychology and ring work

If wasn't for Shawn botching the finish twice, I think Summerslam 95 would've been better than the WrestleMania X ladder match

 

[Willy Waffle]

Dynamite Kid is top 3 all time in my book

Brian Pillman was never that great

Sabu-Taz going into barely legal 97 was one of the best build ups of all time

I fukks with Paul Heyman but, he's not this genius that every thinks he is. even if he went to tna today, i don't think he can save that mess

Savage vs Steamboat was great in it's day, but personally i feel there are better wm matches since then,( hart vs hart wm X, rock-austin wm 17, austin-bret-wm 13, hbk-angle wm 21, taker-hbk wm 25, etc)

Dudleys are top 3 tag team of all time

2 cold scorpio is the best high flyer of all time

World War 3, hands down was the most clusterfuk gimmick match of all time. 60 guys on tv screen, can't nobody follow all that bullshyt

wwf fukkked up ending mr perfects, perfect streak at wm 6. they could have kept that shyt going, and later had hogan or warrior end it at a bigger stage.

Psychosis was the best lucha dore in wcw

 

[Arrogance.]

this isnt unpopular tho. most give him credit as a worker, the consensus is that his character is poor, and he's overpushed .

Maybe I should expand on this a bit.
His in ring character should be his overall character. To me, it is already.
I see him as a guy who gets on the mike, says he's great, then beats his opponents cleanly and aggressively.

TBH, I haven't sat through any of his promos in months. But every time I see ADR mentioned it seems like he has total go away heat with online posters. I like what he does.

 

[Batter Up]

Joker Sting is the most cringeworthy gimmick of all time and tarnished whatever was left of his legacy after joining TNA. His fans have tried to sweep it under the rug but no other legend would've gotten a pass for that abomination of a storyline.

 

[Dog Based Gremlin]

fukkery is entertaining, but the truth is we drop that word way too often as a way of rationalizing that today's product is great
.

The shyt that makes your soul burn


1. Big E Langston isnt as good as Lashley could have been.

2. Chris Benoit didnt desrve a Wrestlemania title moment. Should have won the title at a B show. Eddie came out to save the moment with his hug.

3. ''Total Divas'' is the best tv show WWE ever did and ironically, Cameron was on both shows.

4. John Cena will be a big time movie star if he hung up the boots today.

5. Samoa Joe has always been trash.

6. RVD vs Jerry Lynn is the best match start to finish ever. Never get tired of watching them.

7. Lance Storm was the best Canadian in WCW.

8. Goldberg did the world a favor ending Bret's WCW career.

9. Brock Lesnar was staged to win UFC fights to bring over his WWE fanbase to UFC (especially when he beat Randy Couture)

TNA is depressing and amateurish, everyone involved would be better off if it died.

 

[OGmittee]

Brets a good wrestler but his character is corny and hes a hard person to like away from the ring too

 

[RammerJammer]

Hardcore Wrestling is overrated (ECW, CZW etc..)

Divas division was never good outside of Trish/Lita.

Main Event Mafia was dope to me.

I never cared for Chris Benoit or Dean Malenko.

The Rock's WWE Championship reign last year was one of the worst I have ever seen.

Samoa Joe circa 2005-8 was WHC (WWE) worthy.

Jeff Hardy is change the channel status, well now atleast.

TNA has NEVER been close to being as good as WWE.

Vince Russo was good for TNA

 

[SteelCitySoldier]

I'm starting to think that it's an unpopular opinion thinking Sheamus is a Main Event wrestler

 

[ML29]

If WWE did a lot of the stuff they did in the Attitude Era, today people would be shytting all over it every week, just like today's product.
