That’s the thing Undertaker and the Fiend are outlandish characters. Go figure they had the most interesting matches. Even RVD and Angle were outlandish. Unless you’re Bret or Benoit, you can’t get away with just being a pure wrestler. You gotta be outlandish to some degree or else your matches are skip-able.
Even Benoit was mad intense. Too intense. I never got how the guy who called himself “The Crippler” and “the Rabid Wolverine” and who tried to kill himself just to fukk up the other guy every single night got thrown into the vanilla midget category like he was Adam Cole or something.

Wrestling fails when it tries to be reality based, because if people wanted that they would just watch MMA. The greatest wrestlers of all time were outlandish and that's why a lot of these newer wrestlers will be forgotten.

The most interesting wrestlers on their roster are outlandish characters

I got no hate for Seth or Roman but they are just not creative guys. And you have to be creative to be a truly great pro-wrestler.

They think they are the shyt but they will not be remembered on that top tier level like they probably think they will be.

The WWE will do their best to revise history though

According to a report from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE has issued an edict to talent to not mention Roman Reigns on TV right now.

WWE did not mention Roman Reigns at all during last week’s post-WrestleMania 36 edition of SmackDown. They also haven’t mentioned his name on WWE television since March 27th.

As of this writing, there is no word on why the edict was issued.

It ain't just the WWE it's wrestling in general.

Right. If anything, WWE adopted the Indy workrate and style which has impacted their product for the worst IMO. It's one thing to no sell, it's another to have spot monkeys flying all over the place and finishers being spammed as if it were a video game.

HitGOAT and Benoit also looked like he they could kick somebody ass if he they had to. :ufdup:

Cole looks like a low budget gay stripper from Indianapolis.

Another great point about why wrestling is what it is now. They used to look larger than life and looked like guys that you would want in a bar right with you (Shawn Michaels doesn't count).

A good analogy is hip hop. It's better when the guys talking that shyt sound like or look like they could whoop your ass
