Well, I enjoy a lot of wrestlers, but there's one wrestler in particular who needs work in TNA. Roderick Strong. This man may be talented in the ring a bit, but he is in dire need of a charisma bypass. Austin Aries and Alex Shelly have the charisma and personality (and even though I'm a huge mark for Aries' outfit, he had it before he changed his look). I didn't get to see much of his stuff in ROH, so I don't know if he is like that in TNA, or is he just a guy with no charisma. And I'm not talking about a guy with no charisma as his gimmick like Storm and Blackman, I'm talking about NONE. He's one of the few people who I just don't like watching because he's boring. He's good for jobber squashes maybe, but he needs something more to get himself noticed. Maybe he can dress kinda like Aries and become the Strong Man. Roderick Strong is another one of the TNA newbies who has been able to show less than the square root of his abilities so far--he can actually do face or heel quite well. Strong needs a lot more of a Benoit-style push to get over I think, or at least straight man to Alex Shelley's comedy routine. Ideally Jack Evans will haul his ass to TNA and Strong & Evans will tag again. Plus Strong openly says that he is happy to do jobber squashes for money, and I just think this hurts him long term. They shouldn't be referencing him as the indy champion "The Messiah of the Backbreaker" when Strong gets sleepered out by Samoa Joe in two minutes. I just don't think he can be a credible X division contender AND a tap-tap-tapping out jobber simultaneously. |

Boogeyman. Hopefully he'll boogie himself somewhere else fast.

Oh yeah, and Mickie James. Her voice alone makes me blind to any wrestling ability she may or may not have. She's just too high-strung for my taste.

- I hated Ausin, and I rarely use that word. I HATED him. I understand he really was a tough SOB, I understand he was a bad-ass, and I liked the character. But I hated the fact he never lost. The Rock I liked, because he was funny, massively popular, but he would lose time to time. I just got sick of Austin.
- Hulk Hogan post 1980s. In the '80s, he was everyone's favourite, including mine. I could buy into him. In the nWo he was cool, but still held lots of guys down, but now he is an old man who no-sells everything. Why did the fans cheer him over The Rock and HBK? When he no sold HBKs chair, elbow and Sweet Chin Music, I went mental.
- On these forums people may hate him, but with my friends, John Cena is well over. I really dislike the guy. He is certainly not good enough to beat Kurt Angle, Shawn Michaels or Y2J.
- Goldberg. His entrances last longer than his matches.
- Any match where the WWE tries to make quasi-sexual softcore porn.... bra and panties matches, lingerie pillow fights, etc. The fans seem to love them, I just find them embarassing. I watch wrestling to see wrestling, dammit!

Mick Foley (He was great in the Attitude Era and ECW/WCW, but he ought to hang it up, as everyone knows when he makes an appearance it's to plug a new book of his)
Mickie James (I'm kinda indifferent, as I could care less for her and her fan following)
John Cena (I don't wish the guy to die a horrible fiery death in the catacombs of hell, but I cannot stand him in the ring)
A.J Styles (He's great and had some great matches, but I cannot stand him for some reason, especially in this feud with Samoa Joe/Chris Daniels)

Oh, and Gene Snitksy. I have no idea why people on these forums like him. I'd personally rather catch a tropical disease than cheer that idiot.

Rey Mysterio--not him personally, but he shouldnt be in the main event. How is a guy that weighs 130 lbs even eligible for the World Heavyweight title? Even that night on Raw where he fought HBK, Michaels TOWERED over him. How often can you say that about HBK? And I agree with pretty much everything vanvader said about him
Stone Cold--SOOOOOO stale...I havent found him entertaining since before he won his 1st championship at WM 14. And he introduced us to the single dumbest and most annoying catchphrase ever--What. I think of him as a guy in the right place at the right time, and a gimmick that could have gotten anyone over.
Bret Hart--yes good wrestler, but I find him very overrated. Honestly I always thought of him as the 2nd best Hart, yet he was the one with all the glory
Finlay--I dont get why everyone marks for this guy. I didnt find him entertaining in WCW and 10 years later my feelings havent changed.
Shelton--he is a very good wrestler, but he has the charisma of a broomstick. He makes Benoit look like the Rock

bshadye413 reminded me of two others:
Shelton: I don't hate the guy, and I think he is talented, especially in Team Angle, but he is not the second coming.
Finlay: "I love to foight" may be fun to say, but all I think when I see Finlay is how he was in WCW, and that never entertained me. Don't see what's so different now.

I think HBK jobbing to Hogan is for all those times HBK whined and b**ched like a girl, no-showing events and being a total dick to wrestlers, so I say that's good for him and besides out of the two names Hogan's name far outweighs HBK's. |

Randy Orton - Still don't like him. Never did, never will. No matter how great he becomes. Or how great everyone else thinks he's going to be. He's nothing more than a waste of space and that's all he'll ever be.
Bret Hart - I don't hate him. In fact, I've enjoyed a lot of his matches. I've just never been a huge fan like everyone else. And the DVD made him look like a conceited jerk.
Shane Douglas - I just don't get what is so great about him. Annoying as all hell and boring in the ring.
Ric Flair - Why is he still around? He should have retired a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time ago.

The Rock - early heel Rock was fine, but anything after early 1999 was just crap in my book. Hes not good in the ring, his rhymes and catchphrases are old after about 10 seconds, and since hes gone to Hollywood he plays wrestling fans like idiots. He shows up for little segments and drops his tired catchphrases to try and pry open wrestling fans wallets to go see his crappy movies. I wasnt a fan of his before, but since 2002ish ive leaned dangerously close to the hate category.
Thats pretty much it.

I've never hated anyone for having a different opinion, and I'm glad you don't either. To be fair, HBK probably deserved some payback for being such a prick backstage, but I was hoping it'd be at the hands of Bret Hart. And let's not forget Hogan isn't exactly mr professional when it comes to backstage antics. I don't even mind that HBK lost. The fans went home happy, and Hogan's name is, as you say, bigger than HBKs, probably bigger than anyone's. I just hated the fact he no-sold, it cheapens his opponent, and Michaels may deserve some retribution for whining and no-showing, but because this was billed as a 'Legend vs Icon' match, it was like their legacies were on the line, and HBK's legacy didn't deserve to be crapped on. |
