I don't know how unpopular this one is but I don't think a weekly wrestling show needs to be over an hour - not every wrestler needs to be on every episode, you could have pre-taped interviews, video packages, some matches and advertise who is going to be on next week's show in advance, Raw is 3 hours and even a 2 hour show can be a struggle to get through, less can be more but I know because of factors it won't change.
I want to like him a lot but I've seen nothing in Finn Balor yet to see why got a rocket strapped to him.
Muhammed Hassen was never a lost opportunity - while the character was interesting, it was not long before the crowd was chanting USA and we had the debate that had the argument "America love it or leave it"
I felt Shelton Benjamin got to the level he deserved in the company, he is a brilliant technical wrestler but I felt he was majorly lacking in many other areas.

Dean Ambrose should have been the last man standing at Survivor Series 2014, especially since The Authority's last guy was Seth Rollins. Ziggler should have been the one f***ing around with Luke Harper, not Dean.

All the "Dean Ambrose is a hobo" -references are bloody stupid and anyone making them should be forced to spend a week in a homeless shelter. Nothing in that pound store crazy act screams hobo. For f***'s sake his leather jacket probably costs more than half a year's worth of dole money.
If you dig that Drifter knobhead, you should be forced to listen to that clumsy sausage finger tool play for half an hour straight up while complimenting his Calvin Klein catalogue looks and a moveset straight outta Jim Cornette's wet dream.
There is a lunatic from the streets, who likes to handle a guitar called New Jack to watch, if that's your thing.

What's the deal with Finn Balor?
I don't understand his popularity. A skinny guy that does drop kicks that aren't particularly spectacular is all I see. His finisher is horrible.
Much like CM Punk, I fail to see the reason behind the hype.
AJ Styles or Nakamura I can see the appeal and admit I was wrong - they exceeded the hype.

I was always a big Punk fan, but I agree 100% on Finn Blander. I would compare him to watching paint dry, but I feel like that would be downplaying the excitement of watching paint dry. Plus, once paint is dry, I actually like it. I was just reminded of something that I've been seeing a lot of that I don't get: People who say shit like "I don't ever want to see Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn in the same ring again" are f***ing crazy. What is it you don't want to see? The consistently great matches against each other? The fantastic tag-team they are? The wonderful promos with actual depth and emotion? The crowd enjoying themselves? Actual chemistry? It's seriously mind-boggling when people say that.

Saw him at a house show about six years ago and his in ring work left me and my friends with the worst kind of impression - indifference. In fact, as his popularity rose after the pipe bomb, one of my friends asked me who he was. When I mentioned that we had seen him live a couple of years before, his reaction was,'Really? Which match was he in?' He was in the main event - World title match against the Undertaker!

The Bret Hart vs Bob Backlund Submission Match is one of the worst matches I've ever seen.

I don't know if this counts as baiting or not, but you basically directly quoted me - I am pretty sure I am in a minority in not wanting them to wrestle any more. Not a particularly small one, but a minority nonetheless.

Honestly, this seems like something I have read on here more often than not when the subject comes up.

From people other than me - I am just sick of the match and never cared for Zayn - it is mostly a booking criticism. They had a 'last match ever for reals this time I mean it' match and then were kept apart for like a few months at most, and then got moved to the same brand??

While we may disagree on the core issue, I will 100% admit that the "last time ever for super serious" stuff made me roll my eyes. No matter who they are, you can't ever say that two guys in the same company will never wrestle each other again unless someone actually retires. It's pretty much inevitable that they will, otherwise.

The Bret Hart vs Bob Backlund Submission Match is one of the worst matches I've ever seen. I don't consider that sacrilegious, I believe a lot of people agree it's pretty bad. Adding Piper to the mix was not making it better.

If Ken Kennedy were able to maintain his physique and pass wellness the way Jinder can, he would have main evented for the past ten years no matter what his peers or the fanbase think of him. He would have had many boring matches, gotten injured numerous times and there would have been a spot at the top waiting as long as Vince liked him. There would be a section of the fanbase that would pretend he's main eventing because being in so many main events clearly proves that he deserves to be there, as god knows the WWE don't just put just anyone at the top of the card.

I guess I'll do another one.
It seems to be the "HAWT THANG" right now, but I couldn't give a single f*** about most British wrestling. Marty Scurll, Ospreay, Tyler Bate, Pete Dunn, Progress, RevPro, etc. do nothing for me and I usually skip their matches/shows no matter how acclaimed they are. I'm sure most will want to tar and feather me for this opinion, but goddammit, this is our safe space and I need to get this off of my chest.
