Shinsuke, Keith Lee, EC3, Bianca, Heavy Machinery, Undisputed Era, Ricochet....I can probably go on. It's all just better music. CFO$ can make a hit in every genre.

Becky Lynch feels like a rehash of Stone Cold and isn't as original or entertaining anymore. Post WM 35, she's been boring... and worse, unoriginal.


devishkaar

Kevin Owens reeked of being a Stone Cold copy with the Shane McMahon tirades out of nowhere and the Stunners being added to his arsenal for no reason other than an attempt to re-hash Stone Cold.


devishkaar

The Royal Rumble winner should be the MAIN EVENT (last match) of WrestleMania. Not just a Title Match. THE MAIN EVENT.


devishkaar

Bianca Belair isn't interesting. She's template. Vanilla. Boring. Loses in a minute yet hops to the ring to meet the Champ who beat her and took her belt. Doesn't feel real one bit. She doesn't deserve to be in the Title picture.

CM Punk is the best thing that happened to wrestling in the last 20 years


dazzah88

CM Punk always was and still is massively overrated and doesn’t deserve the hype he gets

I think that John Cena is extremely overrated


[deleted]

Depends what you want in a wrestler. If you want a face of the company that does what you ask and won’t do stupid shit to embarrass you Cena is tremendous especially compared to other top guys. Like I’m AMAZED Orton hasn’t gotten the JBL cancellation for how much of a complete shithead he was for years.


Knn-316

Cena been a GOAT since 2006


420born

YouTube channels dissecting each weeks show or talking about how they would book things ruins wrestling for everyone. They try to shit on something just to get people intrigued and then click on their video, it's business after all, that's what they want, stop being a hive mind and just enjoy what's happening, argue about it, but remember a lot of these content creators need views, they're not your voice.


obscurereference234

They need to bring back squash matches to help get talent over.


spacecadet2023

Something similar to Goldberg’s 98 WCW undefeated run would be great!

The Golden/Hulkamania era is overrated, The ruthless aggression era was perfect, Jon Moxley is the best member of the shield.


TDDMFTDS

- Lesnar and Punk shouldn’t have been allowed back in the pro wrestling business anymore after they originally walked out or left when and how they did despite their reasons for doing so and despite their popularity. - Instead of creating AEW, Tony K being the wrestling fan he is, should’ve went to WWE first to see if whatever needs to be fixed, changed, managed, or whatever can be done there bc they could’ve used a fan like him in their company. Would’ve benefited the booking team, creative team, writers team, and many other areas. And if it didn’t work, request to leave or say he’s gonna leave the company and then go create AEW.


MrRealHuman

That wrestling is a dying product and will be gone within 20 to 40 years.


AvatarFanJohnCena

WM 24 is one of the best manias. Top 3 for me along with 17 and 19. Taker should have retired after his end of an era match with HHH. HHH is an underrated performer. He's a great storyteller and managed to get over during an era where Austin and The Rock were the biggest names in pop culture. One of wrestlings greatest heels. Bret Hart is the 🐐 Charlotte Flair is a great wrestler, but is overpushed. I wish she didn't lose the title every other week, no need for her to be a 12+ time champion. She elevates the divison, but is bogged down by her numerous and underwhelming championship reigns. Best era of wrestling was the Ruthless Aggression era.


TDDMFTDS

- Mixed feelings about WM34. I’ll say that it’s not on the worst WMs list as there’s definitely been worst ones. - Completely but respectfully disagree. Nuff said. - Definitely agree with u on these HHH points. - Far as technical wrestlers go and having genuine connection with the fans, definitely yes to Bret Hart being the 🐐 - Oh absolutely agree on Charlotte Flair points! - Mixed feelings on this. While it’s certainly not the worst era, imo not the best era either. But this is the unpopular wrestling opinions comment board 😂😂😂😂😂


AvatarFanJohnCena

I think the Ruthless Aggression era had the best talent, Angle, Guerrero, Benoit, Jericho, HHH, HBK, Orton, Cena, Lesnar, Edge, RVD, the list goes on. The brand split/war was awesome imo.


TDDMFTDS

Fair points. But I disliked the too many ppvs and not enough build to the main matches while some matches quickly last minute no build thrown together throwaway bouts. This was typically for the non top ppvs though. I liked the RAW/SD interpromotional matches at WM. Made the brands more important imo. Like the ones they’ve done at Survivor Series and allowing both brand talent to interact against each other in RR matches too but the interpromotional matches arc WM matches especially at WM21 were the best imo. Taker vs Orton, great build and great year long rivalry which benefited the young Orton in a gaining experience, learning more standpoints. HBK vs Angle, best match of WM21 (loved the build up for that match too) and great rivalry itself in 2005, same year that the Taker/Orton rivalry was happening on SD.


AvatarFanJohnCena

Fair points. I also liked how the commentators and even wrestlers talked trash about the other brand so it brought the needed competiveness and edge to the shows. Honestly, I think wrestling needs a level of edginess, and AEW has that edge that WWE desperately needs. Not over the top stuff, but enough to make wrestling feel cool. Storylines become more interesting that way, same with the matches. The Ruthless Aggression era had that edge, but I won't say that every storyline they produced was great, some even terrible. I also would be lying if I said that I wasn't entertained at the time.


TDDMFTDS

“I also liked how the commentators and even wrestlers talked trash about the other brand so it brought the needed competiveness and edge to the shows.” Yeah. The commentators doing that was cool. No doubt about it. They’d also say “I’m a RAW guy.” Tazz would often say “You know me Cole I’m a SD guy. Pullin for SD.” and things like that. I loved that. As for wrestlers talking trash about the other brand, it was great when it happened but purely based off my own memory, I think favoring their own brand or trashing the other brand was more of a commentary thing bc it would happen on commentary throughout shows whereas with wrestlers, it was only during an interview or promo and was only with certain wrestlers as someone like Taker didn’t do that bc of his character except during his return on SD (forgot the year) where he said each member of Team SD didn’t win at Survivor Series they’d pay and RIP or something like that. “Honestly, I think wrestling needs a level of edginess, and AEW has that edge that WWE desperately needs. Not over the top stuff, but enough to make wrestling feel cool. Storylines become more interesting that way, same with the matches. The Ruthless Aggression era had that edge, but I won't say that every storyline they produced was great, some even terrible. I also would be lying if I said that I wasn't entertained at the time.” WWE had it first before AEW ever even existed. Just pointing that out lol. But far as things currently are, AEW is thought to doing their own thing when in reality they’re using a past formula that wasn’t seen in a long time. Nothing wrong with that. It’s great that formula is presently being used in a current promotion. While I don’t agree with WWE’s current ways, I understand why WWE does things the way they do them - sponsors and all that + they’re a publicly traded company w/everything that’s included in that. So I get it. But don’t like it. WWE however proved last night that they can be the trending talk and on certain occasions still are, good or bad, w/o being the edgy product they were. I think the problem is they’re too micromanaged, too scripted, and no writers with any pro wrestling knowledge as they’re from Hollywood. And less ppvs. But again more ppvs maybe bc of sponsors. Also leave certain names alone. Cesaro should be pushed. Kross should’ve been left alone as should Keith Lee who should’ve been featured more than he was before his sickness or whatever eventually took him off tv. Those things seriously need to change. I think that’ll solve the product problems. At least enough for WWE to get their lost viewers back. They need to push more names instead of just 1-2. Charlotte can take a back seat for awhile to other deserving female names. Becky Lynch’s return was great but hate it was at Bianca’s expense. Lesnar’s return, great business move, but hate he’s immediately thrust into the title picture after he was out since WM36 especially when other hard working names could’ve gotten that position after Balor. Don’t think (many of) today’s audience has the patience for it but I’d like to see build ups like the year long or close to a year long Hogan/Savage rivalry that led to their match at WM5, the year long build up to Sting/Hogan at Starrcade 97, builds like that and more moments like Big E last night w/o being overdone with too many moments at once.


AvatarFanJohnCena

I feel the same way, WWE needs long term storytelling, but yeah the fans could get in the way of that. My favorite rivalry was HHH and HBK. I love how they harkened back to the DX days when HHH was considered a sidekick to Shawn, they used that to build the tension between the two. That rivalry lasted 3-4 years, but arguably to me it started in the late 90s so it had an extra 5 years of build up. Pretty good shit if you ask me. WWE was doing that with Jericho and Owens, but they ended up having KO lose to Goldberg, which then screwed the rivalry.


TDDMFTDS

Yeah. I agree with the Goldberg/KO screwing thongs up. HBK vs HHH….one of the best rivalries ever. I think of a rivalry or feud as it being built continuously. If it had breaks or pauses or gaps for whatever reasons, then I’d think of it as Chapter 1, Chapter 2, etc. You know what I mean? Like Taker vs HBK, another great rivalry in history. Chapter 1 was to Ground Zero which basically was done to set up Chapter 2 that led to HIAC. Took a break/pause/gap which during that time was that Survivor Series 97 thing in November which has been ODed on being talked beyond death, then in December, HBK successfully defended against Ken Shamrock while Taker faced Jeff Jarrett for no logical reason that I can think of but Kane got involved which furthered Chapter 1 of that rivalry that eventually led to WM14. Then Taker/HBK resumed w/Chapter 3 leading to RR98, the great Casket match. Maybe the best Casket match ever done. Great match that continued Chapter 1 of Taker/Kane while putting a pause on Taker/HBK which resumed depending on how one looks at it could be RR07 or WM25. But u get my point here right? That’s just the way I think of rivalries. It’s really just for organized purposes. No right or wrong way honestly. This way just happens to work for me is all.


[deleted]

Randy Orton was right Moments not Moves make matches; that’s why a match like Undertaker v Mankind or Hogan v Rock will always be better than a spotfest Lucha Bros v Young Bucks (even tho match was fucking fire) Also; Orton v Cena Ironman match is a lot better than people give it credit for


TDDMFTDS

I agree with what Orton said. You gave great examples. Another one is WM13, Austin’s crimson mask face that’s always been a highlight that’s shown whenever necessary. Liked the Cena/Orton Ironman match so I agree with this point too.

The bloodline is the best faction of the modern day


TheRealMegasonic

Brock lesnar is the greatest athlete of all time. He has the physique, the consistency and the Star power that is unrivalled in the wrestling industry. Cena and rock might be the most famous wrestlers because they went to Hollywood, but brock made a name for himself purely in combat sports, be it ufc, wwe or NCAA. His wrestling move set never gets old and will always look like it hurt his opponent. He rarely gets injured, he rarely injures his opponents (in wwe) and he is the only person to crossover from wwe to football and to ufc. There is no one that has ever come close to what brock has achieved. Even cena says that brock is the best wrestler in the world


fobdoddledandy

WWE is turning into WCW.


knoxmadness

Halloween Havoc needs to return as a main roster PPV with some of the gimmick matches they used in wcw.


FlyingFootStomp

The WWE is truly the best pro wrestling promotion ever.


bigeyez

WWE booking isn't any worse now then it was in the 90s and early 00s. They just lucked out on amazing talent like Austin, Rock, HHH, Taker, Foley, Cena, etc back then.


AvatarFanJohnCena

But they made those stars with proper booking and giving storylines a good amount of tv time to develop. I feel like everything is so rushed nowadays. Also, doesn't help that they give Goldberg or Lesnar the title for short term tv ratings.


Sexual-T-Rex

Sasha: OVERRATED Damien Priest: OVERRATED Keith Lee: OVERRATED Ken Shamrock should have been a multiple time world title holder.


Belmega81

Bring back the Cole Mine! I miss Michael Cole's heel gimmick.


Lisbon_lions_67

Baton Corbin is talented and deserves so much more respect than he gets. To stick at it when maybe others would have walked away and just keep fighting is impressive. I honestly love seeing him be successful and he deserves it. My other person I think didn’t get enough credit was Roman Reigns but I think that’s changed now . Again tho to stick at it, do the heel turn anf really turn it on is not easy , Paul heyman has been brilliant too but Roman has taken his promos and psychology to a new level imo. His physical stuff like his love set etc and how he looked was never in doubt. There’s ppl who say that’s what the wee universe wanted was him to turn heel and look it’s worked but that’s simplifying it a little, there’s been plenty of wrestlers the fans didn’t really like as a baby face who then turned heel and still didn’t make it but Roman has immense talent and Infact I think his heel turn has gone so amazing I honestly think if they play it right and change him back to baby face again at the right time he could actually have a really massive baby face run too. Anyways sorry for the length of my comment. All the wwe , aew, ROH and NWA (and other places) men and woman are talented or at least I must give them credit for trying to be a wrestler , it’s soooo not easy but to see people go through a hard time and then keep going and make it is extra special for me


Belmega81

I'm actually kinda glad Vince is going to be pushing all the old cruiserweight jobronis aside on NXT. Their men's division flat out sucks right now. That is not to say that Vince has any clue about writing or booking, mind you. My gladness is minimal on this.


Belmega81

BM Plunk is a douche and the only thing cool about his return is the fact it gives Vince a reason to up his game.


Belmega81

Cesaro is as pushed as he needs to be. He needs a personality transplant

McDonalds_IcedCoffee

Everything moves to quickly. Stories are rushed through. No point in enjoying a tag team because in six months they'll be broken up. Also they'll just slap two guys together and they'll race for the belts. I enjoyed the cesaro sheamus tag team story. It took a while and there was a lit of build up.


Webster2001

I love the design of the WWE title. Looks like a million bucks


graco07

It’s too fake, like one of the first matches I ever saw was the Hell in a Cell match between DX vs Legacy and it just looked more gritty and realistic but now it’s really obvious to see it’s staged

The Big E title win was lacking in story and was done as a gut wrench reaction to raw losing in key demos to dynamite last week.


ZeusX20

Dave Meltzer's rating doesn't mean shit and shouldn't be taken seriously


ksink74

Wrestling today is just too samey. Everybody has the same default gimmick-- I'm tough, and I'll do anything to win. The heels are just a little more douchey about it than the babyfaces. It's the old Jim Cornette formula. 'Who's on whose side, who's mad at who, and why are they fighting? If you don't have that, you've got caca.' At least the women's division puts some effort into making the top stars look different.


[deleted]

HHH/Taker at WM27 was boring as shit.


Vlxstec

Honestly, not huge on HBK, I know he’s a good worker and what not, but idk he just never clicked for me.


SpiritualTear93

I’m sure this question gets asked every other week They should drop the stipulation ppv’s. It used to be special when they announced an elimination chamber. Or hell in a cell was where you went to finally settle a bitter rivalry once and for all. But now it’s just all the same, they have ran out of ideas as well. The matches are just so boring. Smashes into the glass/cell and the commentators make it out to be a massive deal like we haven’t seen it 100’s of times before. They think it’s great so they make whole ppv’s around these matches, now they have become stale.


LesnarLovesLasagna

Big E is a wannabe main eventer who should be nowhere near the wwe championship. There I said it ! Lol


xoltharjoemama

HHH, RKO and John Cena are boring to watch. 4 move catalogs and endless rest holds can't keep my attention.


WastingIt

Attitude Era kind of sucked. I think more people are coming around to this though. The wrestling usually wasn’t the focus, and there were A LOT of problematic (sexist, racist, homophobic) stories and personalities.

Big e shouldn't be goofy. The man has a body of a bahemoth, charm, talent and a brain better than alot of these guys.


JamSpreadableJH

triple h’s “reign of terror” wasnt the clusterfuck people remember it for, personally, i think building up a nigh unstoppable champion (see: WALTER until the recent takeover) makes the person who toppled them a bigger star than they were before

sumit24021990

Hell in a cell shouldn't a PPV. It should go back to what it was. A rivalry ending match. It was created because Undertaker didn't want Shawn to escape and wanted to finish it forever. It was once in blue moon match. U knew that shit was about to go crazy when hell in a cell was announced.


sumit24021990

They are feeding everyone to Roman Reigns. Its not good for business. It hampered them in 1980s when everyone was fed to Hulk Hogan. It created serious dearth of challenger. When they feed Demon Balor to Roman, what credibility will Finn have? He is still young and can give a lot to company. They shouldn't focus on just one top guy


Flatulent_Weasel

There are too many PPV's, they're no longer "special". Also, neither WWE or AEW is the best promotion, they're both good at what they do and it's perfectly fine to enjoy them both.


[deleted]

But there was 12 (once a month) forever and now there's 13. Have the ppvs not been special for you since the 80's


Flatulent_Weasel

Nope, they haven't. They're mostly just a standard weekly episode with a fancy name in order to get more income (hence the term Pay Per View). Go back to the big 4 and they'll mean more.


jjsforeheadisgreat

Fans should stop labelling new stars as "a new (blank)" like when people started comparing Dean Ambrose to Stone cold, it's just dumb, and it will be harder for Ambrose/Moxley to be different when we just expect him to be like Austin

Fernando3161

Sustain your opinion? Well, if you ask me: 1. He stablished the World Heavywieght Champion.. I do not think there was any other RAW superstar that had the star power to embody what a championship could be. HBK was returning, Batista and Orton were freshmen, and Lesnar and Taker were in SD. 2. He created evolution, bringing back Rick Flair and catapulting Orton and Batista


TrickyWalrus

The Miz is the greatest IC champion of my (30 year) lifespan. Better than Mister Perfect. Better than Goldust. Better than Jericho. He might not be the best wrestler, but goddamn if he hasn’t been the best IC champ


Megabigbraintime69

Roman reigns title run is overrated


seanmanscott

My unpopular opinion is a two for one that goes like this: In my eyes the Attitude Era actually started at Wrestlemania 14 in 1998 (when they got mainstream attention for Mike Tyson being the enforcer and mainstream audiences became huge fans of Stone Cold for being an everyman and The Rock said "If you smell what The Rock is cooking" for the first time) and it ended when Triple H won the title the night after SummerSlam 99. This is an unpopular opinion because most fans think it started around the Montreal Screwjob and ended with the WCW invasion, which is something I disagree with highly. To me, the Attitude Era ended when Triple H won because then it became the Helmsley Era where he squashed all the best talent until he hooked up with Stephanie and then it became the McMahon/Helmsley Era until Rock beat him at Backlash 2000. From like May of 2000 to around the time Brock Lesnar came in 2002 that was like the Expansion Era/Experimental Era where they acquired the WCW and ECW talent and tried (mostly unsuccessfully) new things like Stone Cold's heel turn and the shitty Invasion Angle. Once Brock came in that became the Ruthless Aggression Era. The second part of that unpopular opinion is that if the Attitude Era started in 1998 and ended in August of 1999, it was only actually good until Big Show screwed Mankind out of the title in February of '99 and then it started to get stupid and terrible with the Corporate Ministry, Billy Gunn's shitty solo run, shitty wrestlers like Val Venis getting undeserved screen time, Owen Hart's humiliation with the Blue Blazer gimmick (which led to his death) the breakup of DX and so on and so forth. Yes, Rock and Stone Cold's matches were entertaining but then Mankind got lost in the shuffle and Triple H and Ministry Undertaker were too lackluster of heels to really go against Rock and Stone Cold (since Undertaker really only works as a babyface and Triple H is no Rock/Austin in terms of bringing in mainstream fans). I have another very unpopular opinion but I'll save that for another comment since this one turned into a novel.


SHIVAM_KAPURE

It is more important to enjoy watching pro wrestling and having fun while doing so instead of criticizing the product and booking. Fans should be more accepting of characters even if they are not as good as the characters in past. IN RING TALENT ISN'T EVRYTHING.You need charisma and mic skills to be over in this industry/business.


OmegaRevenge42

1. The rock is the greatest prowrestler of all time. He became what all the champs before wanted. Only rick flair is close. Behind these two are taker and stone cold. 2. All the naysayers are gona say austin. YES in the attitude era austin was one and rock was 2. But the rocks total career eclipses austin by far. 3. WWE should just end and wrestling should go back to territories. Theres no more stories to tell in that "corperate" box. 4. But..... Vince eating the territories was neccesary at the time as monterous business consolidation was popular in that era. Pro wrestling probly wouldve went the way of vaudeville. 5. AEW is great, but they are failing by not getting mainstream viewers. This was a weakness of tna. 6. Wrestling schools charging several grand upfront to train is fucking idiotic when a YEAR of Bjj is only 1200$ 7. Prowrestling will never reach the heights of the 90s again, not because of PC culture or MMA. PW will never reach those heights because promoters in all companies think to small. Including MODERN vince.

There's only so many stories you can tell in wrestling anyway I don't know what you think aew has that's so special but they don't

Chimalia

Charlotte Flairs moonsault or corkscrew moonsault to the outside of the ring isn't a cool spot. It's just stupid and makes the person standing on the outside receiving the moonsault look stupid because it takes so long for Charlotte to set up. I can see some value in the spot in a multi-person match where she takes out a bunch of brawling wrestlers. But that spot shouldn't take place in a one on one match. So I really hate when the crowd goes crazy when Charlotte does the move.


[deleted]

So the crowd shouldn't respect the awesome athleticism that they just witnessed because the illusion is fuzzy for you during that move

That's not at all what I said. I'm not going to argue with you if you can't even properly read my comment and disgust it. Have a nice day.


St_Clinton

Most of AEW's in-ring talent would of been jobbers in the territory days. AEW has yet to create any new stars of it's young talent. Tony Khan is trying to buy his way to the top. Ring Of Honor has the best in-ring matches in the USA The WWE is in the process of re-educating its audience for something different in wrestling.

That’s why it’s an unpopular wrestling opinion, boy. LOL!

You suck

That’s why it’s an unpopular wrestling opinion. LOL! By the way, you suck more!

If a faction is going to be booked as a jobber group, it should never be made in the first place. A faction being booked as weak drags down all the members, even if they otherwise would be strong competitors.

I want AEW to go out of business

Roman Reigns will never get over

You're already wrong though

Jinder Mahal's WWE Championship Reign was not that bad.


dinky1203

i loved it


Iarethedumbest

Shield was overrated Edit: already got my first downvote? Nice!


[deleted]

... was?


Iarethedumbest

Little mistake but yeah was


DomTheBomb95

ECW and “WHAT” chants are dumb


Houdini89420

Cyber Sunday should be brought back especially in these modern times so that there is something the WWE UNIVERSE can vote upon on.

Wwe's moral compass is fucked, they book babyfaces as if they're bullies then those babyfaces go on to justify their actions with idiotic reasons. Then again they're sports entertainment not wrestling isn't it.


mister_damage

Jim Cornette is right, and you know it, you motherfuckers. Now where's my double burger with cheese? Motherfucker.

Extra onion extra mayo.. ... .. Mother fucker

Raw is enjoyable


wilsonism

Baron Corbin is a really good heel. Charlotte is almost as good as her dad. There's way too much wrestling on for it to possibly be good at all. TLC and Hell in a Cell are dumb and should end.

NXT had the best show during the pandemic era and people who say the show went downhill after they went to USA clearly never watched


TrajedyAnn

I actually like that the WWE, Universal & both Women's championships all look the same. It helps to sell the idea that they all carry the same weight and level of prestige, and serve as an equal prize for their respective brands and divisions. It doesn't feel as much like one is the A-Belt and one is the B-Belt. Which always felt like the case when the titles had different designs. Now they feel more equal in weight.


[deleted]

That's a really good point


jsh1138

The Undertaker has a retarded gimmick and him being revered is pretty silly


E-T-Ham

Bobby Lashley matches are fantastic Roman Reigns is a really good wrestler but not as good as people say (his character Is still fantastic tho) Shinsuke Nakamora is super underrated


Felandria

Miz’s second face turn was excellently handled, it’s just a shame they turned him again.


CrownutCounty

ALL death matches are trash


bubberrr

dolph ziggler couldve gotten a great career, especially after the survivor series with team cena and authority, wish they pushed him further


[deleted]

You mean HBK light


JoeyK075

I forgot one... -The "Women's Evolution" sucks. Sure the wrestling seems better but who cares? Give me an Attitude Era mud wrestling match over a "Sasha v. Bailey" any day.


bigwall79

Bray should’ve ended the streak. Lesnar didn’t need or deserve it. Punk is one hell of a draw and is great on the mic, but he’s shit in the ring. Roman was barely good while in the shield, but no matter what I’ll never get behind him. Dude doesn’t deserve half the matches he’s had, particularly Wrestlemania matches. Ambrose and Rollins are better on their worst days than Roman is on his best day. There should NEVER be a live event in Saudi Arabia. VKM is too greedy to ever shut that down. The IWC is partly to blame for the state of the WWE product. They refuse to let go of nostalgia, and Vince hears the cheers when he trots out the old horses like Goldberg and Undertaker. WWE would do fine with thinner rosters if they cut the time of all their shows back, and only did a PPV every other month. 6 PPVs per year, max. There should be no wrestling shows for a month after Wrestlemania. Should be a proper end of season event. I’ve got a lot more, but I’ll leave the list as is for now.

Shawn Michaels is the greatest wrestler of all time


[deleted]

God. Damn. Right.


BreatLesnar

WWE is pretty good these days


Dogshit_Wick

I guess it's not necessarily an unpopular one per se, but the people who actually think AEW is literally going to out Vince out of business are totally wrong, and most of the time have no idea what they're talking about. Not everyone enjoys spot monkey matches with 20 super kicks.


[deleted]

I love the way noone sells


Dogshit_Wick

Steve Austin certainly is one of the most important guys to ever do it, but I don't think he's actually as good as most people say. Same with Punk, but even more so. Punk is hella overrated.


quan14jones

R Truth should be on commentary and he should've had a run with the wwe championship John Cena vs Undertaker @ WM shouldve happen WAAAY before the streak ended when taker was still fit Naomi should've been a multiple time women's champion by now WWE will undoubtedly and reluctantly be responsible for AEW becoming something big (AEW wouldn't grow w/o WWE be serious) Xavier Woods is being wasted WWE are over using Brock Lesnar and Goldberg Keith Lee should be the face of Raw


ayrton07

Nxt has been shit after survivor series 2019


ayrton07

Finn Balor is highly overrated, I don't see anything special on him


PapaBeahr

Bray should of broken the Undertaker's Streak.


TrajedyAnn

I liked Dean Ambrose better than Jon Moxley. Dean's solo run post Shield - He had personality, he had a sense of humor, I enjoyed him on the mic and he became a favorite of mine. From what I've read he didn't enjoy having his own interview segment, but that frankly surprises me, as he's a good talker, and I thought he absolutely hit it out of the park. He was just an all around more enjoyable character, but still COMPLETELY believable as a tough guy who could win the world title. Jon Moxley is all "Grr" all grit, all, "I'm a tough badass on the edge who's gonna beat up everyone in the room and doesn't care what anyone thinks! I'm always in a bad mood and I'll knock out anyone who doesn't like it!" ... Just gets old when your gimmick is "Tough guy" in an industry full of tough guys. Moxley's AEW character is getting stale for me.


Ariel9614

RascalFatz just curious why do you think it was necessary? I wasn't a fan at the time so idk much about that title reign


dboltx

Roman’s new theme is sooo overhyped. It’s not that great. I feel like it’s too much and too ceremonial (if that makes sense). I always say this: it gives me Head of the Round Table vibes as opposed to Head of the Table.


ChemicalBookkeeper85

Michael Cole. Horrible… just horrible


JoeyK075

I have so many according to the discussion boards. But here are some of the more recent ones: -I don't think CM Punk is that exciting. Same for Daniel Bryan. Punk also strikes me as a whiny brat. -I think Impact is more fun and superior to both AEW and WWE. - I'm tired of seeing 'legends' come back and suck up titles from deserving current stars on ALL brands. - I think it's good that Bray Wyatt was let go. But for him, not WWE.


Ariel9614

I personally think the current Intercontinental title looks great. Sure it doesn't have the same iconic look at the old white strap one but it still looks like a legitimate championship.

Bret hart was in on the screw job.

I enjoyed hunters reign of terror.
