Sheamus is a better wrestler than people give him credit for.

I think Roman Reigns' push is perfectly fine. He's winning a lot and is heavily featured but is nowhere near as overbearing as, say, Cena. If he continues to improve I think he'll make a damn fine main event talent.
I've been a huge Dean Ambrose fan since his FCW days, but the constant, never-ending e-fellatio he receives makes me want to denounce him completely.

All those guys people think should be higher on the card eg Tyson Kidd, Slater, Ziggler, Darren Young. They shouldn't. The one guy that should be higher on the card. Fandango. I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not but he absolutely should be higher on the card instead of jobbing all day long. He's handsome as f***, great on the mic, charismatic, and not bad at all in the ring. I'd like to see his gimmick tweaked so they can play up the creepy aspect of his character, letting him be someone in the same vein as Edge. I think he'd be killer in that role. You mean Fandango? No I'm not being sarcastic, I think he is fantastic and I agree with all your points.

I'm disappointed the "Vince is dead" storyline never really took off.
Thanks Chris.

I honestly thought the Spirit Squad being shipped to Abu Dhabi in a box was legitimately hilarious. ...and found Kung Fu Naki, cause he might have grown up there. As for me, the Super Cena talk is overblown. Yes he comes out on top in the end, but he loses a lot more than other main eventers.

I don't get how people can say that Cena can't wrestle while turning around and praising Steve Austin saying he could out wrestle Cene when his matches mostly consisted of punching and kicking. I'm talking about pure wrestling not personality or anything like that. And I'm aware of Austin limiting his move set after his neck injury but that shouldn't give him a free pass, either.
I wish WWE would bring back real jobbers instead of using the midcard. It worked wonders for Ryback.
I also don't like this thought pattern that indy wrestlers should be autotmatically pushed to the top because they're indy wrestlers.
Also, Kickpads are stupid.

I unashamedly loved Chris Masters
I was, still am and always will be a Hogan mark.
Bar a bad show here and there, WWE is perfectly entertaining at the moment
The Attitude Era is mostly nonsensical dross. And I say that as somebody who lived through it.
Rock is nowhere near the star Stone Cold is, despite what WWE tries to tell us.
Probably the most unpopular one- Undertaker is overrated both as a wrestler and a star. He's been fortunate to be in the company with bigger stars than him and in the last few Manias, wrestle people more talented than him

Heyman isn't very good on the mic these days. I know some of you would argue that basically saying wrestling is fake and repeating things ad nauseam is just good heel work but anybody can do that, one of wrestling's great orators should be above that. Much the same could be said of Punk towards the end (even as a face), he'd ramble on for ages dancing around a point he'd seemed to have forgotten. Needless to say their joyless feud was torture.
On the flip-side Zeb was good as a heel, he had a strangely subtle way of showing what he was thinking without ever actually saying it (usually from a sense of superiority) which made him more interesting to watch and easier to hate. Bo Dallas is great too, what he says is nearly always entertaining and it's fun to look for the moments when the façade he's built crumbles. The heel aspect obviously comes from the insincerity/delusional behaviour. I could go on with the likes of Tyler Breeze and Fandango.
tl:dr - It's perfectly possible to get heel heat while remaining interesting and avoiding cheap tactics.

The worst thing to come from Eddie's death on TV wasn't anything to do with exploiting his death. It was the ending of the Kerwin White gimmick.

Sheamus is a better wrestler than people give him credit for. I don't think this is an unpopular opinion. Most people enjoy Sheamus in ring, and everyone liked, "I'll Fight 'Em" Sheamus that turned face on Mark Henry. Most people despise Carjacker-Burrito-Vomiting-Hur-Hur-Wise-Crackin' Sheamus.

The idea of Daniel Bryan slaying Lesnar at Wrestlemania is terrible. They need to use this opportunity to make someone new.
Mojo Rawley is getting better by the day. He'll never be Kurt Angle, but he's not "Megaman" Tom Magee either.
I see Kevin Dunn more as a figurehead of everything that's wrong with the WWE than a force of evil that must be stopped.
I don't miss CM Punk is the slightest.
The best heel in the company isn't Brock Lesnar, Paul Heyman or The Authority. It's Tyson Kidd on NXT.
The sudden love affair with Heath Slater makes absolutely no sense to me.
The CFO$, while not to the level of Jim Johnson, are more "hit" than "miss."
I don't believe the Wyatts are dead in the water.

I tend to hear more bad than good about him these days which is why I mentioned it.

I didn't like Steamboat vs Savage. I don't find AJ attractive. Bray Wyatt is boring. Daniel Bryan isn't all that good.

Summer of Punk was ruined more by Kevin Nash's involvement than anything else in the storyline. Otherwise it was still very good.
I liked DX 2006 - 2009 more than anything I've seen of them during the Attitude Era.
I've never had an issue with HHH's reign in 2002-2003.
Matt Striker wasn't good with wrestling history, but he was a very good color commentator. I still miss him.
I respect what Hogan, Austin and the Rock have done for the wrestling industry, but that doesn't mean I need to see them getting more merch to sell now than any 3 midcarders combined.
The PG era was probably the best thing WWE could do to "Reset" and rebuild their fanbase.
